  Song Subtitle help in AE

  Posted by Thejollibengali on September 7, 2005 at 4:44 am

  Hi, I’m making a movie and in it there is a song sequence. I’d like to put captions so people could follow along, and each word would change color when it is song. (Like those sing along videotapes that you see for children). Is there any way to do this in After effects?

  I know you can do it by changing the source text through keyframes, but i’m wondering if theres a less painstaking way of doing it.

  Thanks!!!

  Dan Eberts’ tutorial on Synchronising animation to audio using After Effect’s layer markers is probably the closest you can get.

  Hope it helps

  I wrote a karaoke expression based on layermarkers just for that purpose:

  The thread is here:

  It includes some flash-previews of how it can look, and you can download the project files from my site.
