RAIN DROP EFFECT
Alight Motions can follow this tutorial so without further ado let's get started alright so here we are and it will be off your effects and I actually prepared a few things that I already import it right here so first of all is a music file which will everyone need if you want to use an audio spectrum the audio actually comes from levite Oh beats he's a great friend of mine and he actually runs his own channel where we collaborate on frequent basis so go and check it out he creates some really awesome beats and if you want to use them you can actually use them for free and return that you credit him in descriptions or even in your video if you're that kind of nice guy.
30 FRAMES
so I go ahead links will be in the description and then I also have this image right here which I actually took when I was on a vacation in Spain and this is Benny Durham so yeah without further let's get started so I created a new composition we can actually delete this so we can get started create a new composition and this is going to be our main composition make it full HD in resolution and 30 frames long make it as long as you want to and then click OK then the first thing that you want to do is just drag in your audio file in that composition you can actually see that our composition is a little bit too long so we'll just drag it right over here press M on the keyboard and trim comp to work area okay and then once you've done that we can actually apply our image right here to our composition and as you can see our image is a little bit too yea big.
CC GRADING
so what we will do is press s on the keyboard and just kill this down like this right here okay perfect a little bit bigger and there we go so we have our image now what I want to do is kind of stylize my image a little bit more make it more like a music kind of vibe like Spotify likes to do like a duotone effect and what we'll do is actually use a pretty cool effect and this is called Kurama so we'll create a new adjustment layer right here and this is going to be our grading and our exposure okay so first of all we want to fade in our image so we'll go to effects color correction and apply a exposure effect to our image and then just lower the exposure until you don't see anything anymore like this and click on the stopwatch ready exposure to create a keyframe you can now play a press you on the keyboard to reveal that keyframe right here and then if we're going to move a little bit more in time we actually want to zoom in to our timeline a little bit.
AMV TRANSITION
so we have a nice close-up 5 seconds 10 seconds and like over 3 seconds we want to kind of fade it in back to 0 then 3 frames forward I'm doing that with the page down key on my keyboard you can move ahead and just decrease it a little bit move 3 frames for it again increase it a little bit maybe this is a little bit too much for frames a little bit less and then a few frames forward and then 0 desert and maybe a little bit less than 0 because we actually want to work with text which will be white in the audio spectrum so we want to kind of de expose our background a little bit so everything is going to be a little bit easier to read afterwards perfect okay and now for grading and this is on the same layer we're going to apply the effect color correction and color AMA and this is actually a really really cool effect you can do a lot of cool things with this and but we want to open up the output cycle right here.
EFX TRANSITION
And just and delete everything in here for the course and then for the red we want to change that red color to a nice dark blue blue ok click ok then we're going to click over here and go to the pink color and just create a nice pink color and we're going to close this like this and actually instead of pink let's go for something a little bit warmer maybe more towards this core and the blue can be even darker okay pretty cool so this really creates something kind of a creative it doesn't work with every image but if you use like people you can do some really cool things it's really important that you kind of change or shift on the colors a little bit more so maybe a little bit of blue here that we can add in right over here and maybe darken it a little bit more there we go and then right here maybe a nice kind of tinted orange let's see beautiful look at that boys and girls isn't that beautiful so it's so simple to create something really cool with Colorama you can of course go ahead and do that in Photoshop.
NODE VIDEO EDITING
but yeah we're in after-effects now and this is really simple to create okay so we can close everything and now what we want to do is create our audio spectrum so we'll right click and create a new solid layer rename this to audio spectrum click OK and then we're going to go yeah effect generate audio spectrum for the color for the audio spectrum we'll changes to white so we can actually see it clear right here we can actually see it already and the softness we can set this back to 0 welcome back set this to say 0 the frequency bands will change this to 175 and now what we want to do is go to our audio layer and select our source which is the audio about that we already added to our timeline.
NODE VIDEO TUTORIAL
the video waves it's really important that you already have it in your timeline otherwise it's not gonna work then for the side options we're going to work with side a and that's going to choose the top part and yeah perfect so let's see how that actually looks we can actually see that well if we go a little bit more in time and in the beginning I think this is a little bit to hide kind of D except a little bit I don't think that fits in my audio spectrum so what I will do is hold ctrl and just drag the start frequency a little bit more to the right the reason why I'm holding ctrl is it affects it a lot slower because if I'm going to hover it immediately hits a thousand with control it's going to move a little bit slower actually shift is going to do the opposite thing where it actually is going to move a lot faster then free and frequency something like 1500 and there we go.
NODE VIDEO TEXT
so now we have the nice animation our audio you can also go for the arm maximum height and increase it a little bit if you want and I think that looks pretty good okay so now what we want to do is actually move this start point and the end point and a little bit more to the bottom so it actually is right here but as you can see we have to move them individually which I don't want to do so I will do a quick solution and create a new null object and then just hit the return key this is going to be our position Y for the spectrum so this is just a reference we're going to press B on the keyboard to reveal the position for this one and then click on the audio spectrum before we continue this video I would like to present you our website designed for filmmakers and video editors to improve their workflow we offer templates presets high-quality pre-made packs soundscapes essential graphics and much more if you don't have time to create something of your own or you just want to speed up your workflow definitely check out our website with a link in the description below
CURVES IN NODE VIDEO
we're going to hold alt and click on the stopwatch for the position of the start point so I'll click on the stopwatch right here now we're going to open the brackets we're going to write a simple expression and enter value open brackets 2 0 close brackets comma and now we want to just take our Y position of the note and then we want to close or break it again so really simple expression and open bracket value open bracket 0 close bracket comma equip the Y position not to know itself but the Y position of no and then close the bracket we want to copy this code to control C and just hold all the click on the stopwatch for the end point and paste it also right here and now we're gonna you know what we can do actually is click on that middle we can actually reposition this very easily like this for the audio spectrum.
EXPORT VIDEO IN NODE VIDEO
I want to go back here and a start point for the X I'm going to move it a little bit more to the right because on the left side we're going to add our timecode so for the timecode I'm going to click on my text tool click over here and add a few zeros like this and then just select your text and make it a little bit smaller if you want to maybe irregular or medium text and now we have our fine code and for the time code we'll also need a little bit of a expression which I actually already prepared for you guys you can download that also with the link in the description it's just a bunch of text that you need to paste in the right position oh I already have it copied in the background.
