[Quantoz] Simple Beatbar Tutorial

Tutorial video courtesy of Quantoz.

You can find the Tutorials page here: https://hmvmania.com/tutorials/

This tutorial is for people who:
– never used After Effects, ExtendScript, and FL Studio.
– want to know a quick and easy way of making basic beatbars.
– have some basic understanding of video editing.
– or just want to see how beatbars are made without using audio waveforms.

Time stamps:
0:00 – 0:59 Introduction
1:00 – 4:46 FL Studio
4:47 – After Effects and Extend Script

Software and resources needed:
– FL Studio (paid) or any program that can add beats in patterns: Ableton (paid), LMMS (free).
– After Effects (paid)
– ExtendScript (free toolkit to download from Adobe)
– A beat sound (optional, we can generate our own or use one from FL library)

Some final notes.
Render setting depends on where you want to edit your FH/HMV project:
– for some external program render with alpha should work
– for Premiere Pro or After Effects you can simply import this project file and you should be able to put beatbar composition in it

      These files are already on the site, you just need to go to the “tutorials” tab and in the description under the first video there will be a link to the script, and ExtendScript can be found on the official Adobe website, or as I did, on Github
