Audio Keyframing

- Generate audio keyframes
- Move null object outside the composition
- Create new layer (solid/vid layer....)
- Solid transform
- Hold down the alt key (stopwatch)
- Use the 'swirl' toggle to snap/assign it to the function on the keyframed layers 'slider'
- Set peramiters

Reactionary audio visual achieved.


This was a lot more straight forward than i initially thought. It was made even more fun experimenting with the effects and settings. The results that can be achieved are so diverse. Almost every peramitter is modifiable so there was lots of trial and error, lots of mistakes, especially as i wanted the effects to be subtle and tactful. After sorting out the 'bandwidth' for the amplitude of the wave form, the amount of the effect being used was far less erratic and much more manageable. In the end i decided to link multiple layers of keyframes to different sequences of squares that react in time with the audio, repeating the process stated above and applying it to different objects and layers according to what looked and felt right.
This element has pulled the sequence together and given it a backbone. It now feels like it has continuity and an aesthetic narrative. Im unsure of some of the colours still. I think at times it is to contrasted and the white balance is quite far out. Further tweaking will be needed as the video is finished off tomorrow.
