Introduction

In this tutorial, a video is overlaid with an effect. An effect parameter is then associated with a live audio signal via the Spectrum Analyzer. In this case, a live audio signal will control the opacity of the corresponding layer (level).

Steps

1. Go to Live Editor. (A)

2. Left-click on 'New Clip' to open a media file. (B)

3. Open the Clip Menu by dragging the bottom corner to the right (see arrow). (C)

Media files can also be dragged and dropped onto the Preload or the Live Editor from any normal Finder / Explorer window. A (pre-defined) standard clip is opened using ‘Open Clip’, which can also be used to find and select live cameras – if available.
