This ia fun @AdobeVideo #AfterEffects experiment of mine, taking a music track, using the Convert Audio to Keyframes option and using those keyframes to drive everything from the amount of particles, their speed and even the position of the emitter.
Explore the world of particles with your Virtual Reality headset! By turning your phone into a virtual reality viewer, you can see the magic of particles in 360 degrees. In this 360-degree video, you'll get to experience the beauty and power of particles in a unique and interactive way. Watch as particles swirl and dance across the screen in an ethereal way, and experience the power of the quantum universe for yourself!
I think it ends up kinda relaxing. I've also shared a tutorial on making this for 2D screen. The set up I've made allows me to swap in different music tracks, so expect a few more of these in the meantime. I think its a creative way to add excitement and fun to your videos, then look no further than particles dancing to music!
Music is from @YouTube #AudioLibrary called "Freeling" by @laurenduski
