Hey! Pretty clever stuff with that Bass & Treble filter. I always do that kind of stuff in Audition and I never thought that it will actually change the result of Convert Audio to Keyframes. Also, I'd like to say that some time ago I did a tutorial on Convert Autio to Keyframes. What's interesting is that it looks for the Max and Min values automatically and then applies Linear expression. Have you seen it?

Hi Forum,

after hours of searching I found a nice solution for the following problem (I had in this tut too):
AE 7 (language A) cant import some of the Expressions wrote in language B, because AE wont translate it...

Soulution: Download the "translate Expressions" script
right here:

http://www.nabscripts.com/Downloads/downloads_en_3.php?id=6

The script is self-explaining...

By the Way: "Mad respect" for AK and his Crew!!!

I am pretty sure anyone can learn AE - not as an advanced user - by just gravitating around your and A. R. [your C.C. pal] tutorials.

Thanks again.

by Trevor 09/17/2007
OK, so this was awesome. I'm totally going to use this. And after a couple of minutes messing around, I figured out how to do the Justin Timberlake effect. I'm not sure if anyone is interested so here's a "quick and dirty."

Do the "Generate Audio Waveform" to a solid like Andrew talked about and then take some video and put it on top of that (in the composition). You would usually want a green-screen video so you could just take the person singing, dancing, or whatever, but you can use anything. After you key out the green screen, use Colorama and set the output cycle to Ramp Grey.

Then, set the trackMatte on the Waveform layer to the Luma of the video with Colorama. You can adjust the contrast on the video layer to achieve your desired effect. Then you could do what you want. That will at least get you the person in motion as a waveform.

Hey guys,
I appreciate your contribution to us guys out there who are trying to learn how to use After Effects in "outside the box" sort of a way.
Hmmmm. "Outside The Box".... sounds like a catchy title for a new section on your site on how to use After Effects "the XXX Advanced edition".
by PHIL 09/18/2007
Many thanks from Milan, Italy! I've learned so many tricks with all these GREAT tutorials, even if I still have to use AE 6.5 at work.... Any chance to have some hints with this specific "audio-animation tutorial" and creat it with AE 6.5 without the AE 7 Trapcode???

Nice as ever Andrew.
I'd like to say just one thing I've tried out, even if surely you already know it or someone else have already posted it.
Adding motion blur to the camera and to the particles layers will give the streaks a nice "smokey" effect, check it out!
Best wishes again to you and your family!

Andrew new tutorial, if you did a Tutorial covering a in depth look into expressions and maybe show us some of the the more common expressions you use on projects would be rad.

LOOKS LIKE SOME "MODIFIED" TUTORIALS ARE BEING SOLD ON THIS STOCK SITE (WHERE YOU CAN BUY AEP'S) WHICH HOPEFULLY WONT BE PLAGERIZED.

Hi, has anyone tried yet this effect with a full song?
Is there a way arround creating a 5mins composition, because that's next to foolishness - it will take about 20 hrs to render - 7000 frames or so.
cheers

Hi Andrew!

Greets from Finland!

Have to say you are the best AE tutor I've seen.
Your site is very inspireing. I hope you'll have enought positive motivation to keep up this great work.

Have you ever play with the scribble effect?
Do you have any hint how build up paint or hand draw animation look with after effects? Similar look like Poser programs sketchrender does.

Perhaps we can see fancy videotutorial about that subject in the future.

Thanks!

Hey Kramer!
Amazing tutorials as always,

But i have a question:
Is it possible to somehow make the "digital waveform" effect generate a 3d wave form that I can fly around with the camera?
I hope its not too much to explain on the blog...

Thanks again youve been a great help with everything.

feel free to email me...

Thanks again for another great tutorial. It's great to see that there are those WITH knowledge who don't mind sharing it. Equally impressive is the number of people posting on your site. It's great to see so many compositors out there interested in this stuff.

P.S. Wouldn't happen to know of a site like this, but for photoshop? I learned so much from you in after effects, even after taking a class. You should do a photoshop site as well, as I'm sure your expertise could teach so many things.
