Due next week, September 26th.<\/strong><\/p>\n Import some audio into After Effects. You can download tons of songs from here:\u00a0https:\/\/incompetech.com\/music\/royalty-free\/music.html<\/a> or just use whatever you like.<\/p>\n Use the “Convert Audio to Keyframes” feature to turn your audio track’s waveform into a series of keyframes.<\/p>\n Afterwards you’ll have a new layer with lots of keyframes representing the waveform levels:<\/p>\n Now you can use, for example, the “Both Channels” property<\/strong> of the new layer to control other layer’s properties.<\/p>\n For this homework project, use these waveform keyframes to control various properties in a scene. For example, you could have a group of mushrooms which grow and shrink based on the waveform level. Or a light’s intensity could be tied to the levels.<\/p>\n Below is an example of a real-world project of mine in which I used a dialog track<\/strong>\u00a0and expressions to control the puppet pin tool<\/strong> on people’s mouths<\/strong> to simulate a weird version of talking.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ciraldo.stream\/uwm-vfx2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screenshot-2017-09-19-20.29.54.png\")
