It´s very easy to synchronize the elements that you see in the the screen with the music in After Effects.

You only need to use a plug-in called Trapcode Sound Keys.

These are the steps:

1-Import the music into After Effects.

2-Drag the music to New Composition.

3-Create a new Solid.

4-Apply to it the Trapcode Sound Keys plug-in. Call the layer Sound Keys.

5-Go to Effects Control: In Audio Layer:Choose your song.

6-Select the effect. You will see the sound waves: Bass, Mids and High. Drag the square to any of them. I chose Bass (Range 1) and Highs (Range 2 -Activate it). Go down and press Apply. This will create a lot of keyframes that represent the beats.

7-Create a new solid. Apply to it: Effects-->Generate---> Lens Flare. In layer mode: Add. Show the Opacity & Scale. (T key and Shift + S). Create a Script. In the watch: Alt + Mouse Click.

8-You will have 2 Spirals bottoms. Show the Sound Keys layer. In its options you can see Range 1. Drag the Opacity and Scale Spiral Bottoms to Sound Keys layer--> Range 1 --->Output 1. (You will link both with a blue line).

9-Repeat the same process with another Solid...Lens Flare... etc, but this time choose Range 2--> Output 2.

10-Click the Ram Preview bottom. You will see now that the lens are synchronized with the music beats.

Good Luck!

He meant to say "buttons" in step 8. Instead of Scale and Opacity you can also use Lens Flare Brightness and link it to Range 1 which works too.

Number 8 is confusing me. Can you re-write it to make it clearer?
