Audio Waveform Visualization Effect After Effects

[@RobertOuimet-bigsnit]

Dude. Within 15 minutes I generated an awesome animated wave form. And I haven't opened After Effects in 3 years, so I'd say you get an A+ for the tutorial. Thanks

youre amazing thank you!!!

thank u can't accurately describe how thankful i am for this comment

[@AccelewareLtd]

Great tutorial! Is there a way to export just the waveform with a transparent background that we could place on images? Thanks!

[@sirmel11]

I need to know this too!

[@doughmayne]

@@sirmel11 yes just render out as "RGB + Alpha" from render queue

[@PhuongPhuong-rp4vq]

In the same composition, set the blending mode of that audio layer to Screen/Lighten (if the background you choose for it is dark) and put images below it then you'll have it. Or export it and add the video to the new composition and set the blending mode the same as above.

[@johnandrewfredrickson]

Is it possible to do this on a transparent background? It seems that making the whole Solid layer transparent hides the waveform too. How would you go about doing this on a transparent layer?

[@CodingWithLewis]

Came to the comments to say thank you but also love your singing!

[@rachithaseneviratne6811]

hi there! can i generate this audio waveform on a blank background? i followed your tutorial note by note and it worked totally fine, but then when i tried to do it within an existing composition, or as a new composition so i could copy it into an existing composition, it didn't work. any ideas? thanks so much for such a great video!

[@EvilTwinsen]

I'm happy with this tutorial, I don't feel like it was a transformative moment in my life but I'm glad to see it was for other people in the comments who apparently needed this tutorial to save the lives of everyone they hold dear.

[@garveydobbins1508]

I'm making my voice acting reel and have been searching all day how artist make waves modulate with their voice. Glad to know I have the tools to do it too. This was super easy to follow, thanks for the help man!

[@DozaDeCulturaGenerala]

Thank you so much! I was able to create a better final product for my channel because of your easy to follow tutorial.

[@bndorkychick9]

This was so helpful! Is there a way to make a transparent?

[@SOCOMJOHN]

is there a simple way to do this that may not look so good but still works? I dont have adobe after effects and never plan on it. thank you!

[@timbubb84]

There is a difference between a visualized audio *spectrum* and an audio *waveform* - the video title incorrectly calls this effect a waveform.

[@stansteez]

Co-Sign. Audio Spectrums show momentary frequency distribution of a given Signal from low (left) to high (right) frequencies, while waveforms show amplitude over time. So technically this is an audio spectrum visualization, not a waveform visulization!

[@owenpaxton4664]

I actually can't find a tutorial for audio waveforms in ae anywhere. It's like it's never been done.

[@roleyruffles7913]

@@owenpaxton4664 it's essentially the same process but you click-drag the Audio Waveform option onto your solid instead of Audio Spectrum

I've been looking for a program for months, I've already tried and the results are awesome!! I'll now have my first synesthesia visualization video within a few weeks, thanks to you!!

[@quiquiquisontlessnorkies]

Boy, you're efficient !!! Thanks a lot !!! ;)

[@benecomms8247]

Hi! This was great, thank you. How would you go about downloading this with a transparent background to add to a social post? For example, I'm trying to re-purpose podcast soundbites.

[@iolemelo5848]

I'm doing this with the same purpose. You make that layer (the solid w/ the effect) an adjustment layer and then put your background underneath. I used an PNG image. Hope this is helpfull. :)

[@bambampewpew32]

Yeah I can't get the wave spectrum to be transparent cause I have gameplay I want underneath

[@iolemelo5848]

@@bambampewpew32 in that case you want to export with alpha channel, maybe it's a soluttion.

[@bambampewpew32]

@@iolemelo5848 oh lol I figured it out, forgot how though lmao Edit: if anyone needs help with it let me know, I'm using this in my video I'm uploading in a couple hours or less

[@KennethCummingsIAmMrKenny]

Thank you! I work for a USAToday Network paper and just used your tutorial to add a waveform. The reporter recorded his voice/statement over the phone; I grabbed it and put it into Ae and added it to a Premiere video. I'll be sure to come back to this video for future reference.

[@vungochung]

Simple and ez to understand when he explained. Thanks!

[@syedtahacool]

Thank you for this video. It was helpful for me..

[@mariaisabelgarcia9625]

[@Renaxelo]

do you realize if the height of the low-frequency pop-up too much ? I wonder why AE's audio spectrum stock more dominating the low-frequency

[@yshwh]

Amazing vid. Thanks. What is the name of the microphone you're using?

[@kellymcnamee6307]

May I please use this to demonstrate to my students "How we see sound"? Also, you have a stunning voice!

[@ladiesofsound]

you are really good at teaching! Simple, straight forward, thorough.

[@FelipeSilva-up7ml]

SO AMAZING BRO!!!!!

[@ScareGrid]

if I wanted to place this over another video how should the settings be when I export? When placing in Premiere It has the grey background and I have to set as an overlay, which still discolors the video under it

[@gagemartin3665]

You can actually create this as a dynamic link from Premiere Pro to After Effects which will render itself in the project file from Premiere Pro so you're not rendering out extra files which could lead to compression and loss of quality.

[@zevdekoff9420]

Just figured this out, at the bottom of your effects panel you'll see a tic box for 'Composite on Original'. Click that and the waves will be on your video rather than the default background.

[@raymondfox7583]

Great tutorial. Thanks.

[@VintageBassArchive]

THANKS... MY VIDEO WILL BE UP BEFORE TONIGHT

[@yellowandblueNile]

can you choose to have a photo image as a background instead or together with a box with the wave?

[@coreconfidencecoach]

wow. Thanks heaps man. you just made a game Changer to my business!

[@JayCeeYG]

Thanks! How do you export this?

[@kawansculpture]

thank you for your tutorial , I use wondershare filmora to make my video , how can I use this the result of audio waveform with filmora ( it says file is not supported ) any way to change the format in order to be able to use it there , thx

[@moanstii]

works perfect in 2021! :) thank you

[@R3lik5]

Finally I was able to do it thank you SOOOO MUCH. Also i just used a mask in premiere to get rid of the background grey but is there a way to make this background transparent? Almost like a greenscreen?

[@lovin_art]

Great Video! Thank you so much for the simple explanation!! Really love it!

[@ahall8901]

Hi! Thank you for this video! Could you possibly explain how I can create this audio waveform without any background color? I want to export it with a transparent background, so that I can use it over a different graphic in another platform. Thank you in advance for your help!

[@trillernight]

Export 'RGB + Alpha Channel' in the Render Queue > Output Module settings

[@LiveFreeOrDRUMHard]

Uncheck 'Composite On Original' in the Effect Control panel before you render to 'RGB + Alpha Channel'.

[@WilStudio]

Great tutorial, congratulations!

[@garabatero]

thank you so much for this video BTW does anyone know how to move the waveform around? Doesn't matter if it's dragging with the cursor or typing x/y axis numbers. EDIT: I found out that you had to either drag or edit the numbers on the start and endpoint. I wanted to lower the spectrum so I increased the number in the Y axis 👍🏼
