  • Automated “color mixing” based on music… sort of like the itunes visualization plug-in…

    I swear I saw a post on here once about this… but I couldn’t find it anywhere. It’s about a plug-in or program that would adjust colors in your video track based on your music track…

    Basically, I’m looking for a plug-in or program that would alter the color of the sky in a wide shot of a field based on the music track… I imagine this works off the same technology that shifts the visualization patterns in the itunes plug-ins…

    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    There’s a range of possibilities. At the non-free but powerful and convenient end of the spectrum is Trapcode SoundKeys, which analyzes audio and lets you link animations to various characteristics of the audio.

    For a bunch of scripts and other resources for doing this without SoundKeys, see this page.
