Today I have taught myself how to transform audio into a visualization effect in After Effects. I highly recommend this simple, easy to follow youtube video by Tutvid explaining the entire process in just under 10 minutes. He taught me how to transform sound into your desired waveform, creating a really lovely visual- for my purpose I will be using it to go alongside a video / or still image.
I decided to learn this technique after being inspired by posts from DNA magazine, whose use this visualization effect on their Instagram. The clean simple design is a perfect way of re-instating valuable interviews that camera quality doesn’t match the audio and therefore isn’t fit for posting.
