Audio-Matching Keyframes (and it's downside 🪦)
Added 2024-01-05 02:41:19 +0000 UTCSO, before using this method, I used to manually scale the bubbles up and down in timing of the instrument, to it's advantage it looks smooth. A disadvantage of manual keyframes is that it takes hours and days, and also isn't perfect as I'm prone to being off-beat sometimes 🥲 until now, where After Effects analyses the song's instrument and scales it for me in seconds.

In my personal opinion, Audio-Matching looks awful, especially for drums 😭 It's violent, and jittery unlike the synth where I've manually scaled it.
I'm a Quality over Quantity guy, things like this stick out like a sore thumb to me, but I do really want to find a way to make more videos at a quicker rate. I'll probably use this as a last resort until I find a way to make autoframing much smoother, and only use them on the drums and bass. I'll always manually scale the Singers, BG Vcls and other SFX cause it's the main visual of the video!
maybe you've noticed this, maybe you haven't but I prefer having a finessed and satisfying video for you guys 🫶
