Hi Guys welcome to visual effect in aftereffect.
Now we are going to create our first civis project but we are going to use things that you have not
seen around.
We are going to try to come out of the box try new things and try to explore what's in aftereffect that
can help us even using the audio spectrum and getting it you know a better result and also your creativity
here is very important.
Please guys don't restrict yourself to what I show you or what you see outside.
You needed to also create yourself and this is how you learn how to use effects and how to compose it
affects one on top of the other.
Now it's true that we are seeing one effect at a time but later on in the course you'll see you will
be able to composite all these effects and get something really great.
Let's say that we create our new composition and we call it a spectrum.
We are OK with 10 seconds we make the background black put on of course the first thing you want to
do is to create a solider to apply the audio spectrum.
Our right clicks a new and say solid and we call it a rectangle.
I will tell you why it's a rectangle.
And here is spectrum.
We'll make it 19:20 as big as the compositional problem it has a background.
Let's take the audio spectrum and drop it on top fine.
Now we need to play over here.
You're not is that you cannot choose the sound.
There is no sound.
That's because the layer is not inside the composition.
What you have to do is to come to project find and B-3 sound and drop it inside.
So actually the control over here for the rectangle spectrum can be only selected from what is within
the composition Mimy I didn't say that before.
Let's start now adjusting the controls.
So we have something interesting.
We know this track we are going to put a 300 by 500 for example we increase the number of bands and
we increase the maximum height.
So we start having something at least over here.
Let's make it even bigger.
You know it's coming up.
So we have something to work with.
So now how are we going to turn this into elek then guitarists circle or what path we want.
Let's try something interesting let's take the pen tool and draw a path that's my path here just with
the pen tool is very very beautiful and do like this could you not just read through the path on top
of the law of course.
Actually it's a mask.
If you open it you will find a mask and you find a magic wand which is this mass that you have drawn
with a pen to you know in after effects you take a mask and you make it path.
So we click over here and here we are we have our mask wand you can come and rename it of course.
So now what happens.
The audio spectrum is on the path.
And this is pretty interesting.
And you can have you know quite some shapes and quite some games are playing around.
You can throw a mountain or have a bag that is a mountain and you draw the path on top of the mountains
and you have all these vibrations coming out.
Let's try another umask delete this one.
And of course it will eliminate the mask from here.
That's right around the rectangle.
It's come to round a different angle.
Click and drag.
So we create a mascara press shift to make it somehow in the middle.
Good.
Let's come to the path and say mask one.
This is the rectangle.
Also there is something very important we have here and we have side and B we cannot see the outside
here.
That's because the mask is working as a mask for the layer.
You need to remove that and that's pretty easy.
Just come to OD and say none.
And here you already have site A and B of course.
Now our maximum height is really big let's make it smaller.
OK.
Some bands around call let's give it some you interpellation let's blend with the overlapping on to
give it more.
That's cool.
So now if you play you not as you have Eric and Gil that is coming up as all these bands and all this
sound all around it I would put this one off.
So it runs faster and it's quite cool by the way.
Let's change a bit let's make it eight hundred eight hundred.
What will be the effect here.
And here you are.
So actually you created something pretty nice.
It didn't take much.
Now you can come and work on this one much better.
For example if I put this on side B that will be on the outside.
So let's duplicate this one Control D and then we open the mask press and and we have the mask both
here.
And actually what you can do is double click on the mask and make it a bit smaller.
You do it with less control and shift it becomes a bit smaller.
Let's do it like this and instead of this.
We take for example find and we put them on the site.
Not just what's happening here.
You have something pretty nice and pretty beautiful.
Now if you're not is the outside rectangle here you have a problem.
A bit of I would say not seeing at all.
So let's try duration averaging.
It's not working very well.
We can try to put them at the same size.
Here you are now.
But it became just a square if you like this call if you don't like it you need to add more.
I will increase the height and see what's happening but not but this is just a trial that we are doing
together.
Let's try now to add some text inside that would be pretty cool right.
So in the next lecture will add some text and we see how to apply audio spectrum and text.
See you then.
