    I wasn’t sure where to post this, so I posted it in the Expressions forum as well as this one.

    For a quick, 20 second promo for a show that we broadcast, I’ve made an EKG monitor using Aahron’s quick podcast on the matter. I’ve added some other bits as well. I was seeking a way to sync the sound of a heartbeat to an animated glow effect applied to some text. The idea is that the glow will pulse with every beat of the heart. I checked out Roland’s tutorial on the audio LED meter, but I’m not sure that this will result in the correct effect. Any suggestions?

    As always, many thanks.

    you can use the keyframe assistant to convert audio to keyframes, then link your glow effect (opacity of an adj layer if you do it that way, or the strength of the effect…) to the newly created audio amplitude keyframes

    who is that masked man…

    Great ideas guys, thank you. It looks as if I should buy stock in Trapcode!
