So you want to make some motion typography? Maybe some lyric videos? How about some fancy moving word show? Well you are in luck because it all starts right here with how to sync up animations to audio. Be it spoken word, musics, or the soft sweet sounds of two cats doing greasy adult activities to each other behind your house you'll be syncing up things to that audio in no time.

The shortcuts mentioned are:
the "." on the number pad - preview just audio
the "0" on the number pad - RAM preview
the "space bar" - preview without audio (and therefore not helpful)
the "command(MAC)" or "ctrl(PC)" + drag through timeline - scrub through with live audio (Very important and used often)

I hope you enjoy this presentation of a semi intoxicated motion graphics man talking at his computer.

  • Lol "This isnt the most exciting thing here, but we're just trying to prove a f*cking point here" XD

  • @Kartoffelsackmann das ist the problem right there I think. Check the adobe help fle for "shortcuts" that should get you the right shortcuts. I know you can remap your shortcuts somehow... but i can't recall.

  • @ECAbrams both german

  • @ECAbrams well, am looking forward to it, hope It wont take too long, already subscribed ;)

  • @bygnargasms drew the gun and a few of the others. Some are from the windings font though. But I tend to draw most of my iconography with my hands.

  • where do you get your pictures like the gun and eye in the example?
