Al Khatib worked as a director's assistant for 2 years and is an AE
trainer at the Accad Center in Damascus, Syria. He studied politics at
the University, but his main interest was computer networking before he
discovered After Effects.
One of the most fun and useful things in Adobe After Effects, is linking the motion of your project components with music. In this tutorial from Talid Al Khatib, we'll create a ''volume meter'' that responds to your music.
In this tutorial, Talid Al Khatib demonstrates that simple expressions can create powerful motions. In this case, we create a ''rose'' which could be used as a background or design element. Talid also points out that we often think that expressions only relate to the layer properties (scale, opacity, positon, anchor point and rotation) but actually, they can work great with effects too, in our tutorial, we applied expressions on two effects (grid and Hue/saturation).
