Audio Impact Automation makes properties react to your audio, creating dynamic visualizations that pulse, change, or move with your music. This is one of the most powerful features for creating music-reactive visuals in Vizzy.
How it works
Audio Impact Automation analyzes your audio in real-time and maps the audio intensity to a range between your specified minimum and maximum values. When your audio is quiet, the value will be closer to the minimum; when your audio is loud, the value will be closer to the maximum.
Controllers
| Name | Type | Description | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Min value | Varies | The value when audio is quiet | Depends on property type |
| Max value | Varies | The value when audio is loud | Depends on property type |
| Lower limit | Number | Threshold below which audio won’t trigger a reaction | 0-5000 |
| Sensitivity | Number | How responsive the automation is to audio | 0-1 |
| Smoothing | Number | How much to smooth transitions between values | 0-1 |
| Cumulative | Boolean | Whether values accumulate over time | On/Off |
Advanced settings
Delta smoothing
Delta smoothing provides additional control over how the automation responds to audio changes:
| Name | Type | Description | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delta smooth | Boolean | Enable delta smoothing | On/Off |
| Delta amount | Number | How quickly values decay | 0-1 |
| Delta threshold | Number | Minimum change required to trigger an increase | 0-1 |
Audio analyzer
You can select which audio analyzer to use as the source for your automation. This allows you to create different automations that react to different aspects of your audio.
Supported property types
Audio Impact Automation works with various property types:
- Number - For properties like position, scale, opacity, etc.
- Color - For color changes that react to audio
- Range - For properties that use a range of values
Other types
There are many property types in Vizzy. Not all of them are supported here!
Smoothing for natural movement
Increase the smoothing value to create more natural, flowing movements that don’t jump abruptly with every beat. This is especially useful for creating a professional look.
Sensitivity adjustment
If your automation isn’t responding enough to your audio, try increasing the sensitivity. If it’s responding too much, decrease the sensitivity.
Cumulative effects
Enable the Cumulative option to create effects that build up over time, like an object that keeps growing larger with each beat.
