Audio bars effect?

[Vince Becquiot]

For that, you’ll need After Effects. There is a tutorial there for a single bar going to the beat of music. You can add more bars for specific frequencies with a plugin, or using EQ effects.

Is that a plugin within AE, or is it a third party one?

[Vince Becquiot]

Well, a single bar will not require a plugin. The bar level is simply affected by the volume in the track.

I actually never tried an entire spectrum, but using an EQ effect, you should be able to isolate frequencies for each bar in the spectrum.

Here is a link to that AE tutorial,

and here’s one for a waveform:

BTW, there is a plugin particularly designed for that, it’s Trapcode Sound Keys.

I just realized that AE 7 has an effect called … drum roll please … Audio Spectrum (and one called Audio Waveform) that does what I want. 🙂

Ha ha, well, there you have it !

I’ve gotten AE 7 recently and am still looking at all those many new great features 😉

Cheers,
