     Hello, i am creating a music video for my song, and I would really like to have an audio visualizer. Like the bars that go up and down to the music. Is there a plugin for this? I don't have After Effects, because i don't have enough money to buy another program at the moment, and there isn't enough space on my computer. Thank you!

    ‌You could extend the audio waveform to near full screen, use a (free) screen capture program to record it, then do something with blend modes to overlay it back into your video.

    I recorded the multiple eq band on logic and then used some opacity and color dodge to blend it into a video...I used the screen capture recorder built in to quicktime.  It's basic stuff but worked pretty well for my lyric video I made.

        He's not talking about waveforms,

        he specifically mentioned "audio visualizer. Like the bars that go up and down to the music..."

          Yes, that's exactly what i'm talking about! I don't know anything about waveforms or anything like that. But, i did find a solution, it's not the best, but i decided to record the visualizer in windows media player, then overlay it!  BartonGarretts suggestion helped! Thank you!

            if you are referring to the audio spectrum effect in AE, the only plugin i know of that does similar is from red giant, but their website says it only runs in AE.

            The audio track shows a waveform.  Same thing as the visualizer.  Expand it as large as you need.
