Displaying Audio Graph in a video at DVinfo.net

David Dwyer · August 3rd, 2008, 06:21 AM

This could probably go in any forum but as I'm editing in Adobe Premiere 1.5.1 I'll put it in here.

What I want is to display a audio graphic like ( http://oldsite.prometheusradio.org/c...r_graphic1.jpg ) but play it out in the video so the bars move?

I'd either want the whole audio clip and a bar moves left to right or the audio that is actually playing is displayed on screen?

Is this something I can do in premeire or is there another program then I just import the video?

Hope it makes sense!

you can cpature some display , like in winamp or use a plugin, but the price will be a lot more higher.

You might be able to make something in Premiere... What if you:

1:Took a screen shot of the entire waveform,

2:brought it into Photoshop to resize and crop it,

3: Lay it onto your timeline as a graphic,

4: create a vertical bar in the Titler, and

5: Just animate the vertical bar to move across the waveform in its own layer above the waveform graphic.

I think it would be pretty easy. Just create 1 keyframe with the bar on the left side of the graphic, scrub to the end of the song/sound, and then create a second keyframe with the bar on the right side. Hope this helps.
