This Audio is too abstracty for my taste even though the effect is cool.
very nice inspiration! congrats
That video is having a seizure. Looks like it could be an effect used for NIN music video.
very cool effects!!!

hi,
thx guys for the comments.
@Loay Emad : the example might be a bit extreme, but this technic would work with pretty much any kind of music though.
@walterson : by seeing a lot of those reel with some Hecq song on the background, I did wonder how people were doing this, and try to figure a way. I can’t tell if they did it like that or not, though !
I’m from Brazil, sorry my English is not very good. Whenever I saw these videos and was wondering how they made these effects?
With the help of your turorial was easier …
Congratulations!
Other video with cool effects:

And this other video that has some legal effect at the end:
effects at 0:43, 0:47

If you can make more tutorials on these effects would help a lot.
Do you have website or blog?
thx
I don’t think I can give more information about this, I did cover pretty much all of it. All of your example could be done with the approach I give in this tutorial. especially with the slider control to be able to freeze time as I show it. then it’s just a matter of tweaking the values

as the good things of life….simple and sweet…ty
This is very cool effect actually! we can use it for many different reasons.Just need creativity..Good stuff
This effect is really very cool. Great Job !
Thanks for this tutorial. I’m having a problem with expression for this however. after trying to add the +time to end of expression (to get effect to line up with time of footage instead of showing the same frames) I’m getting error message and AE is disabling expression. any thoughts on why this would be?
Thx
just copy/paste your expression, you probably missed a character or something.
AWESOME
…where can i get that sound…where did You get it?…..thanks

How do you make expressions shown on speed/value graph? I only see as if it has no expression (even if it works fine).
Hi. I have a problem on this step
((thisComp.layer(“Bass”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”)/50)*)+time
Getting error message: After Effects warning: ) does not have a value Expression disabled.
((thisComp.layer(“Bass”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”)/50)*___missing value here___)+time
You are trying to multiply but you didn’t specify any value. The correct expression would be for example:
((thisComp.layer(“Bass”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”)/50)*2)+time
hi! is there also a way to: +time + previous time?
I want my movie to move forward to whole time on the beat, not to make steps back and forward.
