The text will stay at the original size despite certain jumps in volume and pace.Īnother quick solution for smoothing out some of these keyframes is to highlight them and move on over to the Smoother panel. Choose the expression pick-whip “Swirl” key and drag it up to the slider. Once you’ve done this, you can prevent the text scale from changing too drastically in size from beat to beat by adding +.
Justin demonstrates this in his tutorial by increasing the scale of the text (hold down Alt/Option and hit Scale keyframe). This versatility gives users more control over their animations. Just open up the text layer to view these options, and play around with the different effects under the Transform options. You can also break down the song and see every beat with the Graph Editor tool.Īfter Effects gives you options for how you want the text (or image) to react to beat - such as changes in scale, opacity, or position. You’ll see a keyframe for every second of the beat. This will create a “Audio Amplitude” layer that holds keyframes based on the volume of the song that will allow you to break down the song’s channels (left, right or both). Right-click the file, select Keyframe Assistant > Convert Audio to Keyframes. After Effects will then allow you to break your song down into keyframes.
So first things first, create a text layer. Let’s take a look at the key points for the effect. Importantly, the second half of the video covers smoothing out the motions, adding certain effects to your texts, and controlling your movements even further.
The tutorial by Justin Odisho covers the basics for animating your text to music.
