  Audio Levels Visual

  Posted by Jim Minton on January 27, 2006 at 7:10 pm

  Does anyone have a lead on a plugin or a tutorial for creating the look of bouncing Audio Levels like one might see on the front of a stereo system receiver when the music is playing?
  Thanks in advance.

  This tutorial might help (another suggestion father down):

  Creating an Animated Volume Meter by Talid Al Khatib

  He does this in #D, but you don’t have to take it that far.

  Another suggestion:

  Render > Audio Waveform and Audio Spectrum both might do what you want. Just plug your audio layer in the dropdown in the plugn. You can also make it crawl onto any mask you make or import into AE.
