Using Expressions to Create a Volume Meter
| A CreativeCOW After Effects Video Tutorial |
Article Focus:
In this video tutorial, Jerzy Drozda Jr (aka Maltaannon) shows you a smart way of creating dynamic and sound reactive Volume Meter.
This tutorial takes this subject further than any other tutorial on the net.
Jerzy goes on to say: Expressions are the most powerful feature of After Effects, in my opinion.
After watching this tutorial you will learn how to make your Volume Meter more dynamic by reacting to sound playing in the background while keeping total control over its sensitivity. You might have seen similar tutorials on the net, but I assure you that this one takes this subject a step further and because of that, it's worth watching.
