About Creation Effects: Pulse

Pulse is an Adobe After Effects template that turns audio into animations reacting to volume and frequencies. It provides 30 visualizer presets covering styles such as flamethrower, inkblot, kaleidoscope, pinwheel, swarming shapes, dot‑and‑line networks, and 3D particle animations. Fifteen presets use the Audio Spectrum effect for frequency‑based visualizations, while the other fifteen respond to loudness, affecting motion, scale, colour and speed. Five presets modify footage in sync with music (3D Push, Crystal Dream, Glitch, Time Stutter). Each preset includes intuitive controls and a copy‑and‑paste expression for driving any property with audio. Optional effects can be unhidden for alternate looks, and both HD (1920×1080) and UHD (3840×2160) compositions are supplied. The template works in After Effects 2020 (v17) and later on Windows and macOS without additional plugins.
