What I like most about VC tuts, is they give us enough of an idea of what to do, but doesn't baby sit us and enables a lot of room for using this stuff for other purposes.
Always love the sound design for your completed effects! Big fan of Designer Sound btw. It's a bit like BBQ sauce - instantly turns anything you pour it on into something awesome!
I pre comped all of my sound effects, and set the source for the Audio Spectrum effect to this comp. So the animation matches the sound and gives it a way more organic feeling
this tutorial is blowing my mind. I seriously started laughing out loud when you showed the align tool! Just that one little thing alone will save me SO much! This is probably my new favorite tutorial. There were SO many new things I learned in this one. These effects are really versatile so I can make this be my own and not make it look just like this tutorial
Great Tutorial. Using the mouse wheel to adjust the rounded corners of a rounded rectangle = AWESOME. How have I been missing this shortcut for the last 15 years???
This is The one for my future animated logo! How did i not find this earlier... Very nicely done sir! The electric disturbance blew me away! Fantastic work!
Andrew, you beast!!!! My boss kinda hates you because i learn more from you in half an hour than from him in a whole week lol. Please, never stop amazing us.
Even tho I probably wont be using the methods used and the knowledge gained from these tutorials any time soon, I just love listening to Kramer and watching him.. make.. things. Things with awesome in them.
This is fantastic Andrew. I don't know how you do it. I wouldn't even think to do some of the things you do. I would have never guessed to use things like polar coordinates and such.
First video of yours I've seen, been using AE about nine months, you are blowing my mind with these keyboard shortcuts. Really informative thanks, Subbed :D
Its so amazing to see the possibilities of After Effects. To bad that After Effects and all Copilot Plugins are so expensive.... No cheaper software can do this.
enable blending mode for layers with the button on the left bottom (middle one of those 3 guys) and another thing sneaky turning off the reapearing circle mask at 7:28 as always great work andrew
I don't understand some things on your video... I mean, sometimes, I have the feeling that I've missed something like at 12:25 where there's a new layer that was creat, just like that... Why ?
Awesome tutorial. Wow, I really need to look at all of After Effects tools! I overlook so many tools and dont realize their importance until you bring them up in a tutorial!
Thank you for the awesome tutorial! The end result is very cool and the tips about the AE keyboard shortcuts and various features were quite helpful as well.
At 12.30, when you try to spin the dots, i see that you have to add a duplicate of the dots and parent the new one with the old. So when I do so, my dots are still not moving :( What did I miss?
Thank you for all your efforts and time in sharing these videos. One bit of minor feedback you might consider is using a keystroke display as I've seen in multiple videos you've created (and reading the comments below others have the same experience) that you sometimes use hotkeys without explaining what you did and then for those of us that don't know how you did the hotkey we are lost. Your instruction is excellent.
Hey Andrew, I bumped into one of your blogs and I got hooked to your tutorials since then. You are great man. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I'm learning a lot from you. Subscribed and follow you already.
Very well explained and led this great tutorial. Certainly, I have taken a giant step following step by step video and have been very surprised by the system to create such a powerful object and an impressive finish. Thanks friend!
Oh my god. This tutorial is very helpful! Although I'm still having a bit of difficulty with the terms and the tools and stuff of After Effects. I'll subscribe so I can watch more of your tutorials!
I nominated Andrew Kramer to be on Creative Live. I think he could really teach us a lot on the long form, live workshop. And It would benefit video copilot as well with exposure.
Thanks for this awesome tutorial. I have watched every single tutorial you made so far. But this is the first I tried out. Very well explained and easy to follow. I have used this spin effect as visualizer for my music, which I just released on my channel. Thanks again Andrew!
Awesome tutorial! I saw the thumbnail and thought I'll never be able to make that, but I have it a go and followed along really easily. Very helpful, clear instructions :)
This was my first time using after effects, love this tutorial. If you could slow it down slightly and also explain more about what shortcut key you're using that would help. But other than that, really impressed with this tutorial, well explained, amazing effects generated from nothing. Thank you!
i am a start off dj ...planning on starting my youtube page for my fans.... i would really love to have this spectrum look..... awesone video by the way!
That is some great tutorial I see. I'll certainly use it for some other reasons and projects I'm working on. :D I'd like to ask you something. Around 29:56 you've clicked on a Transparent button on the video composition window. I'm not sure, but, does this button allows me to renderize the project as a transparent video, or it just hides the black standard background for visual and/or preview reasons? Thanks since yet! :D
MOTION BLUR DISAPPEARANCE AND BEYOND ISSUE: Someone suggested: "Put CC force motion blur on an Adjustment Layer above the Audio Layer" It did show up again, but I couldn't get the ghosting effect to happen. I moved the layer without the blur into its own comp and then added the blur to it- WORKED. I am using CS4.
in this video at 12 min 24th sec a new layer automatically gets created and you didn't mentioned it. can you tell me what it is? It is when you wanted to use those dots as lines but you also wanted rotations. so you used the layer below it. I don't know what layer are you talking about coz that layer dosen't exist if one follows your insructions. Please help and sorry for my bad english.
Leave it to Kramer for making you feel like total noob by using very basic tools (which we should all know) to make something this sexy and advanced looking
hmm, can anyone explain what happens on 12:29? he unchecks the solo then a new line layer appears above it. When I do it nothing happens. Additionally, His is one long line that gradually blurs. Mine is still 3 with the dots in between :\
Hey Andrew, love your stuff man but do you think you could add either some quick keyboard shortcut captions as you hit em' in your vids? or maybe do a keyboard cam so we can see what you're hitting? I get lost sometimes.
What music did you use in the beginning of the video before you're showing us the footage you made? Also, great tutorial. Need to try this out sometime.
video co-awesome. Your videos r the best man all of them are epic. I suggest that all the noobs out there who can't use after effects should come and learn from the master (Andrew).
for some reason when i pre render i follow your instruction exactly but when i select quicktime and try to go to photojpg i dont have that i have different DV/NTSC 24p dv25NTSC so on and so forth then i have DVCPRO 1080i50 so on and so forth down to 720p60 then none uncompressed rgb 8bit uncompressed yuv 10 bit 4:2:2 but no photo jpg how do i fix this
***** just find the shape you want to color and then find "tint" in the search bar on the side(effects). change the white value in the tint effect to whatever color you want.
@video copilot 2 questions: 1) how do i watermark it? i mean how do i eliminate the black background to be able to reduce it and use it (as example) as a watermark for my text? 2) how do i put it on a video and how do i write text on it? 8this ought to be a level matter
Love the video. This is my first time using after effects and loving being able to generate FX from nothing. One thing though, how do you get the letters in the buldge? and what is the best procedure for export?
two people's heads blew up due to the awesomeness overload in this tutorial. This is beast. The only question I have is near the end Andrew talks about "turning layers on and off"; aside from tweaking the opacity (which is what I am assuming here), is there any other (faster) way to do this?
"This is all in after effects, no third party required"
ahhhh, what a nice sound to my ears.
Aman Bhargava A song isn't a plugin.
audi787b OK,
audi787b he probably meant he likes that there is no 3d party plugin. not implying that the sound is 3d party.
musicpolygon you're probably not wrong!
ikr
it't 2023, and still the gratest visual effet teacher out there, Andrew's tutorials are out of this world 🌎 🔥❤️
You are the Bob Ross of the Digital Era.
What I like most about VC tuts, is they give us enough of an idea of what to do, but doesn't baby sit us and enables a lot of room for using this stuff for other purposes.
Always love the sound design for your completed effects! Big fan of Designer Sound btw. It's a bit like BBQ sauce - instantly turns anything you pour it on into something awesome!
Yes sir I love ur video too❤️
@@PotatoGaming048 ❤️
damn this was so simple, yet so badass!! thanks

This is The one for my future animated logo! How did i not find this earlier... Very nicely done sir! The electric disturbance blew me away! Fantastic work!
Using the Radial Blur as a glow mechanism, using Polar Coordinates along with Transform is brilliant! thanks Andrew!
Andrew, you beast!!!!
My boss kinda hates you because i learn more from you in half an hour than from him in a whole week lol.
Please, never stop amazing us.
Even tho I probably wont be using the methods used and the knowledge gained from these tutorials any time soon, I just love listening to Kramer and watching him.. make.. things. Things with awesome in them.
Oh my goodness the force motion blur YES it's SO BEAUTIFUL :D
Robert Yang force motion blur never works for me.. WHY
just love when you use French words : "Silhouette"... kinda cool, I use it all the time (I'm French :p)
Great tutorial btw
"looks good to me, fuck it, we're leaving it in!"
This is fantastic Andrew. I don't know how you do it. I wouldn't even think to do some of the things you do. I would have never guessed to use things like polar coordinates and such.

The site's tutorial notes say to try putting it on an adjustment layer above your design elements.
I don't understand some things on your video... I mean, sometimes, I have the feeling that I've missed something like at 12:25 where there's a new layer that was creat, just like that... Why ?
only with this free tutorial I learned more than with many commercial. THANKS!!!
I do like the sound of this.
Awesome tutorial. Wow, I really need to look at all of After Effects tools! I overlook so many tools and dont realize their importance until you bring them up in a tutorial!
Videocopilot is the most important thing to ever happened to After Effects.
His tuts usually involve his own products and plugins of course, but several of his earlier ones did include Particular. Check out the website.
Video Copilot is my pilot. Andrew is awesome!
Thank you for the awesome tutorial! The end result is very cool and the tips about the AE keyboard shortcuts and various features were quite helpful as well.
By completing this amazing tutorial I was able to create my own audio spectrum visualizer
Thanks bro
At 12.30, when you try to spin the dots, i see that you have to add a duplicate of the dots and parent the new one with the old. So when I do so, my dots are still not moving :(
What did I miss?
Man this is crazy with ur inteligents u can save the world from suffering but the animation stuff is also cool :D
Thank you for all your efforts and time in sharing these videos.

Your instruction is excellent.
I am convinced that the one dislike was a accidentally misplaced click. Thanks for another great tutorial! I learned a ton.
As i get to 16:50 I don't have photo - JPEG what do i do?
WHAT DID YOU DO HHHHHH
I'm definitely going to try it out! Thank you Andrew!
Hey Andrew, I bumped into one of your blogs and I got hooked to your tutorials since then. You are great man. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I'm learning a lot from you. Subscribed and follow you already.

Every time I watch a VC tutorial there is always that moment where I go "WHOA WHAT THE FUCK I DIDN'T KNOW YOU CAN FUCKING DO THAT!"
18:11 "Now, this is where the fun begins... If it hasn't already... which it hasn't..." XD
to be honest, Video Copilot tutorials worth millions of dollars.
You're right! those other 140 tutorials were terrible! This one is pretty good
Oh my god. This tutorial is very helpful! Although I'm still having a bit of difficulty with the terms and the tools and stuff of After Effects. I'll subscribe so I can watch more of your tutorials!
I nominated Andrew Kramer to be on Creative Live. I think he could really teach us a lot on the long form, live workshop. And It would benefit video copilot as well with exposure.
Skip the curves step, Color Vibrance is the master.
I watched this three times in detail ... nice job .. thanks
ANDREW ... YOU ... ARE ... THE MAN !!!
Reminds me of just about every ELO album cover. As always, thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks for this awesome tutorial. I have watched every single tutorial you made so far. But this is the first I tried out. Very well explained and easy to follow. I have used this spin effect as visualizer for my music, which I just released on my channel. Thanks again Andrew!
Awesome tutorial! I saw the thumbnail and thought I'll never be able to make that, but I have it a go and followed along really easily. Very helpful, clear instructions :)
Bro this is an amazing tut! can't wait to bake my own!
No words andrew,such an amazing animation,so creative.Thanks a bunch sir!
This was my first time using after effects, love this tutorial. If you could slow it down slightly and also explain more about what shortcut key you're using that would help. But other than that, really impressed with this tutorial, well explained, amazing effects generated from nothing. Thank you!
king of after effect
i am a start off dj ...planning on starting my youtube page for my fans.... i would really love to have this spectrum look..... awesone video by the way!
The spiny thing loks like it has a really interesting looking artificial iris! You should explore that more, maybe for use in a scifi clip
That is some great tutorial I see. I'll certainly use it for some other reasons and projects I'm working on. :D
I'd like to ask you something. Around 29:56 you've clicked on a Transparent button on the video composition window. I'm not sure, but, does this button allows me to renderize the project as a transparent video, or it just hides the black standard background for visual and/or preview reasons?
Thanks since yet! :D
MAN! you are too awesome ... !!!
awesome tutorial, but PLEASE! USE A SCREEN RECORDER that shows what key you pressed!
MOTION BLUR DISAPPEARANCE AND BEYOND ISSUE:
Someone suggested: "Put CC force motion blur on an Adjustment Layer above the Audio Layer"
It did show up again, but I couldn't get the ghosting effect to happen. I moved the layer without the blur into its own comp and then added the blur to it- WORKED. I am using CS4.
Great tutorial Andrew! Your tutorials have helped me through so many projects. Keep up the amazing work! :)

Layer Duplication. See comment by NF Teams for more info.

good to hear your voice again
thank's man
Can't wait to try this out!

***** Yeah, I realised :s but Thanks anyway!
Video Copilot is the best.
Amazing. Cool way ot teaching without cuts. Incredible !!
Hey Andrew, love your stuff man but do you think you could add either some quick keyboard shortcut captions as you hit em' in your vids? or maybe do a keyboard cam so we can see what you're hitting? I get lost sometimes.
Not sure if Andrew is Genius or i've never seen how PRO's works.
fall in love with AE when watching ur tut, thank you so much
Awesome, great animation and tutorial as always!
Great tuto and I appreciate how you did it
Awesome work, my jaw is on the floor
Right, I'm going to give this a shot... Hopefully I can get it to work.
What music did you use in the beginning of the video before you're showing us the footage you made? Also, great tutorial. Need to try this out sometime.
video co-awesome. Your videos r the best man all of them are epic. I suggest that all the noobs out there who can't use after effects should come and learn from the master (Andrew).
Awesome, Andrew! Your Tutorials are awesome!!!
GENIUS² ! That was the best tutorial I've ever seen in my life ! More More please
Wish my brain worked like this! He can just whip this thing out in 30 minutes! Lol.
you could've also used the polar coordinates effect for the "rounding" of the audio spectrum
Great job Andrew!
for some reason when i pre render i follow your instruction exactly but when i select quicktime and try to go to photojpg i dont have that i have different DV/NTSC 24p dv25NTSC so on and so forth then i have DVCPRO 1080i50 so on and so forth down to 720p60 then none uncompressed rgb 8bit uncompressed yuv 10 bit 4:2:2 but no photo jpg how do i fix this
Ehm I have never seen this guys videos before. You can freaking download it too! WOW Subbed right away.
very good tutorial! Im beginner but so happy to manage finish it! It took me a while though!
Instead of having all blue is it possible to make others a different color like Red, Blue, Yellow and have that spin?
No you can
+David Good loled
+David Good just change the "curves" settings or the "tint" settings, whichever you used in your project
***** just find the shape you want to color and then find "tint" in the search bar on the side(effects). change the white value in the tint effect to whatever color you want.
@video copilot 2 questions:
1) how do i watermark it? i mean how do i eliminate the black background to be able to reduce it and use it (as example) as a watermark for my text?
2) how do i put it on a video and how do i write text on it? 8this ought to be a level matter
omg that was so cool! at first it looked like you used element for some 3d stuff :O
I have no idea what you just did... but it was awesome ;)
Love the video. This is my first time using after effects and loving being able to generate FX from nothing. One thing though, how do you get the letters in the buldge? and what is the best procedure for export?
Amazing tutorial. So inspiring! Thank you :)
Align for the win.
really good tutorial, thank you. Also could you do a particle animation with the sound thing?
two people's heads blew up due to the awesomeness overload in this tutorial. This is beast.
The only question I have is near the end Andrew talks about "turning layers on and off"; aside from tweaking the opacity (which is what I am assuming here), is there any other (faster) way to do this?
yes!! sound tutorials!!
what a good idea!!
Miss your tutorials :S :)
when i drag audio spectrum into my solid layer, it doesn't show up no matter how much i change the settings, any sugestions?
I really liked this =) The motion graphics is strong with this one..
when I switch to luma Matte (14:00) the dots dissapear. WHY?!
Mindblowing tutorial!
