You just helped me save so much time. This was amazing. Thank you so much for this channel. You're literally helping me change my life around with these skills you're breaking down for us. Much love from Las Vegas!!!
WOW. And I was struggling with free limited online tools all this time. And results were meh. This is much much quicker and you come up with really unique designs. GREAT. Thank you stranger, who made this tutorial available.
Thank you man! This was a big help and I like your videos so much because you don't waste time like those other 10-minute watch time TH-camrs and you get straight to the point
I am having a problem and I hope you can assist. The audio that I am trying to do is couple of minutes, is there a way to extend this? Additionally, the spectrum is not very sensitive and it is bearly showing movement but audio is high and lastly the sound is getting slow or chewy after couple of seconds. I hope you can just explain each setting on your video is for what so we can be able to adjust to our requirement.
You can click the project render window to select all go to composition then composition settings and then change the end time to the length of the song add a little bit extra and cut in later in premiere pro
I played with it and expanded the composition to 1 hour and the background and the visualizer to 1 hour as well. The only thing that seems to have stopped working is the magnify distort effect and I can't figure how where to put that back or modify it.
Hi there, when inputting all these settings can I change music tracks while keeping the visuals? If there is, could you share please or anyone reading this post.

Hey, bro, before i start I just wanna say thanks for all of your videos. Super good and straight to the point. Ok, now here's my question... How do I make the audio spectrum more sensitve? Or do I just make the music louder?
I actually had an additional question, how easy is it and what is the process of swapping out the mp3 and processing another one and another one, etc etc? I am trying to improve the workflow to do many of these. What steps are absolutely required to accomplish this?
I'm confused about what the pre-comp does. Could we not just add the song (with convert keyframes) into the main composition and whip/reference the magnification to the audio keyframe slider? EDIT: ah wait, the magnify effect comes afterwards.. nvmd
Is there any way to increase the sensitivity of the spectrum? Sort of like a threshold value I guess. So lower volume sounds still display some change? Awesome tutorial btw.
Thanks for the tutorial!! I'm having an issue though where my magnify feature stops after 30 seconds, but my composition is 1:56. Do you have any idea how I could fix this? Thanks in advance! :)
It works but I'm not sure why it slowes down hella at some parts and the pitch of the voice audio changes to very low.... I followed all the instructions correctly.... not sure what the issue is
Hi, is there any scrip to do some steps on a key press? I used this method and tuned it for my like but i wanted to process more files, but cant find any solution to batch them anywhere.
I have done everything exactly how you did it twice now. The logo and audio visualizer are pulsing to the music but no sound is playing at all. Any ideas?
if anyone else is having this issue, make sure the song is in the main comp as well. So you will have the song in 2 different comps - the main one, and it's own one with keyframes
Usually, this means you have the wrong name in your expression. If you copied the expression exactly, but didn't name your elements exactly as they are in the expression, it will have an error. For example, make sure the 2nd composition with the song in it is called "Song", or else the expression is looking for something that isn't there.
I love this tutorial but I have an issue. I am doing this for an hour long mix set and the problem I am having is the logo and the visualizer disappear after about 30 seconds.
Followed all steps there, thank you, but tell me, is my laptop to slow or did i do something wrong, because when i start to listen to it, per spacebar, it only looks like 20 frames per seconds or so..
Wonderful tutorial thank you! Question. After following all the steps I can only get 30 seconds of video and audio. how do I get to view the whole song?
@@tralfmusic thanks mate! I did the same and it didn't work, so I tried messing with the values of the audio visualizer effect until I saw something move. Turns out I had to increase the maximum height by a LOT. 😅 Also there's another effect in AE2020 called Audio Waveform and I prefer that one!
To save EVERYONE time, when you create your new composition, make sure that the clip length isnt set to 30 seconds. There is no way to change it after.
this is so straight and to the point. thanks for not spending 2 minutes explaining what you are about to explain. you are the real MVP
obligatory omg nelward I love your music come to brazil !!
Love how straight to the point you are, made it really easy to follow. Thanks dude!

I got expression error. Trying to figure out why. What do you mean by 'Comp names case-correct"?
@@robertgiannini4349 Make sure that the name of the comp is with capital S and not lowercase s
@@robertgiannini4349 Make sure the song name is the exact same as the code you input.
Possibly the best Adobe tutorial I've ever watched!

wow, so simple!! thank u for making this, i'm SO excited to make more stunning visualizers for my music🎶🎶
Some people just go on and on and then they promote ads but you, you get right to the point keep :) thank you so much for this amazing tutorial
clever usage of AE, this is what I have subscribed for, thanks man
Thank you man! This was a big help and I like your videos so much because you don't waste time like those other 10-minute watch time TH-camrs and you get straight to the point
Now this is how tutorial is supposed to be made! not some 30min garbage with ummms an eeeeems.
Brilliant!
This is amazing. Thanks. You have skills! I didn't even know this was possible without plugins or something.
it says - This project contains an expression error : error 1 of 1 ?
SAME
That expression is killer tho you can make legit anything do anything to music with that
Thanks so much! This was incredibly helpful for a first timer in After Effects!!! You rock!
Thanks!
I appreciate the donation!!
This tutorial is amazing. Kudos to you!
Is there any way to do it so the screen shakes when lower frequencies hit?

At the beginning when making the "main" composition, set the duration to however long your video/audio is.
You can click the project render window to select all go to composition then composition settings and then change the end time to the length of the song add a little bit extra and cut in later in premiere pro
@@daolpuer6593 Thanks. This needs to be in the video
what i should to do my probleam is caming audio aplitudo
exactly what I was looking for. Do you know how to add the particles?
Its funny how a formal after effects class would turn this into a week long lesson.
Expression error coming...Help please
you are a life saver,thank you very very much for this tutorial
OMG! THANKS! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR A MIRROR ONE!
Im French and I can’t fin de the French traduction to « slider » can anyone help ?

damn good and easy video tutorial. thank you
Super cool and super easy! thanks! I wanted a linear effect, so I'll just ignore that polar coordinates part. :)
Damn straight! Thanks man!
many thanks man, excellent content! keep it up.
Awesome man keep up the great work
I can't set the magnification to 100. The letters turn red and its always writes 103,5. What should I do?
Lifesaver, coming in clutch every time, thank you :)

why does slider isn't accepted in the expression?
Hey, bro, before i start I just wanna say thanks for all of your videos. Super good and straight to the point.
Ok, now here's my question...
How do I make the audio spectrum more sensitve? Or do I just make the music louder?
Man I love this tutorial!
Thank you so much!
I've been using this visualizer on my mashup channel!
I watch this video like at least 3 times a year because i forget the expression, so thanks hell yeah

Tweak around with your max height, start frequency, and end frequency
this guys voice love it
Is it possible to specify the expression to react to certain frequencies of the song?
Can you please show how to make visualizer like rising wave?
Subscribed and will be looking at more of your tutorials.
wow this is crazy hard lol but you make it seem so easy.
Is it possible to export this as a MOGRT so that the audio file can be changed in Premier?
Very awesome, extremally helpful, really appreciate it :D The tutorial still fits with the latest versions in 2023.
The effect stops after 30 seconds for me and I don't understand why.
when i followed this, my song is only 30 seconds long. When i open the song file in a mediaplayer, it says its 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Thanks for the tutorial!! I'm having an issue though where my magnify feature stops after 30 seconds, but my composition is 1:56. Do you have any idea how I could fix this? Thanks in advance! :)
Having this same issue, if anyone knows a fix, I'd like to hear it too.
Go to your Song comp and do the convert audio to keyframes again so re-make the "beat map" for the Magnify.
bro go to etid tab then conposition edit then change end time to 4 min
It works but I'm not sure why it slowes down hella at some parts and the pitch of the voice audio changes to very low.... I followed all the instructions correctly.... not sure what the issue is
Will this work for voice, not music? Great tutorial - straight to the porint. thank you so much!
i think so
Late reply, but yes! It will react to all audio

the finish audio is coming out wonky and its going fast then slow..
I know this is a late reply, but:
That's just AE previewing it.
It won't be like that when you export.
I made a visual bt its more than 15Gb hw to i save it with small space
I love this tutorial but I have an issue. I am doing this for an hour long mix set and the problem I am having is the logo and the visualizer disappear after about 30 seconds.
You know to do magic wowwww thank youuuuu😍😍😍😍😍
Anybody know how to fix the fact that my song is now randomly pitch shifting every few seconds? Everything else is working fine except for that.
I followed every step to a T and its not working at all.... Whats going on??
Thanks man, that's so helpful ♥️👍
i really like the background image that you used in the visualizer, where can i find images similar to that?
Im trying to make a horizontal one at the bottom of my screen but it keeps moving up and down what do I do?
after I go to change it to 960 I does not let me go over to effect
whenever I use the magnify, it only lasts for like 2 minutes, then my logo stops moving, is there a way to fix that?
so easy love the way he made.
How to make it flat tho? (sorry, this is my first time)
can i save it as a template?
Yeah, you will just have to do the last step (pre-compose / magnify) again and relink your audio.
After doing this i can render it out right or I have to do something else before rendering it?
That tutorial was fire
Followed all steps there, thank you, but tell me, is my laptop to slow or did i do something wrong, because when i start to listen to it, per spacebar, it only looks like 20 frames per seconds or so..
Big subscribe your videos are quick and to the point i love it.. I wish I had found you like a year earlier
a mistake here the ''s'' of song in the code is must in small latter's
song at the end?
i was gonna ask the same thing
1:30 saving my part
Wow!!! U R THE BEST!💥 Could you please tell us 1100px is the size of what? You specify it in Magnify
Wonderful tutorial thank you! Question. After following all the steps I can only get 30 seconds of video and audio. how do I get to view the whole song?
Have you figured it out?
@@CitrusCytrus I did thank you!
Whenever i do this my song gets really slow any help? the farther you go the slower it gets is it supposed to be like this
perhaps that's just After Effects running slowly. Unless I'm mistaken it shouldn't render at that speed
thanks man this helped so much
It only works for 30 seconds, (the movement of the logo) then stays still, anyone have a fix to this for more than that?
Super useful! Thanks!!
i edited a video but text whas messed up i want to change that pls tell me how i would be very happy
how do i make it bumb more
Thanks, it worked very well
Every time I try this, it just makes a solid clean circle - nothing pops out past the circle
Did you manage to solve this? I'm having the same issue. Any thoughts @Adobeinaminute?
@@ADHDologia I did, but I honestly can't replicate how. I just re-opened AE and it randomly worked lol. good luck

What app is this I’m on ipad
Thankz Brother.Love from Srilanka❤️
how do you export it to an mp4
Is there anyway at all to make a visualizer sync to any music you're playing at the time. Ex: Stream intro on twitch/youtube
To save EVERYONE time, when you create your new composition, make sure that the clip length isnt set to 30 seconds. There is no way to change it after.
ofc there is. Just go to Composition - Composition Settings & change the Length
@@alex9play Thank you!
First time user? Changing the comp length is super simple, just extend it in the comp settings.
Wtf...im using ae for 1week and i know how to change the settings 😂
LOL. You’re just spreading lies. Comp settings big dog 😂
thanks for the help, any way u could post template of these awesome tuts?
I did this and I did not have to mirror it (I dont think so anyway)
