Overview
Synchronize your video to any audio: see the beat!
Audio-intensive animations no longer require time-consuming hand-tweaking of keyframes. Trapcode Sound Keys, a plug-in for Adobe After Effects, makes it easy to synchronize motion and sound using either amplitude or frequency ranges. Unlike palette-based audio-sync products, Sound Keys is applied as a regular effect, making it possible to save settings with your project, generate keyframes into output parameters, and link keyframes to expressions.
Trapcode Sound Keys runs only in After Effects.
- Adobe After Effects CS5, CS4, CS3
Visual interface for audio selection
Sound Keys displays sound as a 32-band adjustable audio spectrum, making it easy to isolate the part of the sound you'd like to use in an animation.
Integrate sound with other effects
Since it is applied as a regular effect within After Effects, Sound Keys can be used to make audio trigger other visual effects. For example, combine Sound Keys with Trapcode Starglow to animate the intensity of light based on a drumbeat.
Multiple instance capability
Create mesmerizing, complex animations by using the same audio track to drive several types of animation, selecting different audio frequencies for each effect.
