When I convert my audio to keyframes, I don’t get a x,y value rather a x.y value. How to I correct this?

Also… the download link is at the bottom of the video player and in the video player itself - indicated by an arrow pointing down.

Yes you can. I can’t give you an expression from on top of my head right now, but I think you could try to use % (modulo operator).

Hi! Very nice tutorial. I have a quick question for you. Is it possible to modify the expression on the mask to move in steps (increments of bar size), thus making each bar step either on/off like a real meter? My math skills are not up to the task ;)
Great work.

Hi Maltaannon, love your tutorials but for some reason this one seems to end abruptly. I tried viewing it online and downloading it and both stop working around 25 minutes in (right when you go to add the controller adjustment layer to the VolumeMeter precomp) :/ any way to fix it so I can finish watching?

Chyba moge napisac po polsku, co??:)
Tutorial swietny. dzieki niemu poznalem moc jaka daje uzycie expression. Mam tylko takie pytanie do Autora: zalozmy ze chcialbym zrobic tak: vumetr ma pewna swoja wysokosc (max wartosc) i ma jednolity kolor (wszystkie paski sa np. zielone). Wartosc amplitudy reprezentowana jest tradycyjnie, czyli pojawiajace sie i znikajace paski, jednakze pojawiaja sie one przez kolor czarny (lub kolor tla) do zielonego. Tzn ze np jak sygnal ma amplitude 80 (max wartosc jest 100) to na zielono pojawiaja sie wieksza czesc vumetru, a wartosci od 81 do 100 gradientowo przechodza od zielonego do czarnego. jak wartosc amplitudy jest np 30, to na zielono pala sie tylko te niskie paski, a np od 31-60 gradientowo przechodzi zielen w czern. Rezzta paskow vumetra jest nie wyswietlana, albo maskowana przez kolor (w tym przypadku czarny).
pzdr i dziekuje za ten VuMetr Tut.
