how do you do that ? vibration effect
Hi all, fist post in this very informative forum.
I am a young director, spending many hours in the editing suite lately with my editor.
I’m working on a promo using Media Composer Adrenaline. The effect I’m trying to convey to my editor is a vibration effect. Kind of like a vibrating speaker woofer. I’d like to see certain very short sequences vibrate in and out to the sound of a music track that has a very bassy beat to it… We’ve tried several different ways to achieve this effect but it’s not quite right yet.
We’ve zoomed in and out on the picture while adding a bulging in/out effect and some rippling effect. It’s ok, but it could be better.
Anyone have any ideas on how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance!

If your editor has the sapphire plug in, you could try the shake effect, but that won’t neccesarilly match up to the music.
If you have AfterEffects available, I would suggest buying Trapcodes SoundKeys, 99 dollars. Import your video and audio track into AE and throw both into a timeline. Create a solid, apply soundkeys and anaylize the part of the audio layer you want to shake. Soundkeys will create keyframes based on the music, level….
Now you can just need to pickwhip to the scale properties and add a multiplier. Expression are really not my bag, so if you go this route, go the AfterEffects forum and talk to Dan Eberts, man knows all about expressions.
A third option would be to bring it into after effects. Set scale and position keyframes on the head and tail of the clip. Then apply the wiggler and turn on motion blur. If you can figure out the beats per second of your music, it should match up pretty well.
Good luck and good editing

Hey
If you look into the Boris effects in Adrenaline you could combine Jitter and a motion blur to achieve this.
Good luck

If you have access to After Efx there is a way to use the audio track to modify the parameters applied to the picture, such as XY position.
