To view audio waveforms (audio graphs) in After Effects, you'll use a simple shortcut and timeline adjustment.
Here's how:
-
Import Your Audio: Drag your audio file (e.g., .mp3, .wav) directly into your After Effects composition's timeline. It will appear as a new layer.
-
Reveal the Audio Waveform: Select the audio layer in your timeline and press the "L" key twice quickly ("LL"). This expands the audio layer properties to reveal the audio levels (waveform) over time.
In summary, select your audio layer, then press "LL". This will display the audio waveform, allowing you to visually analyze your audio levels within your After Effects project.
