How to make a Synthesia piano cover (WITH PARTICLES) - Tutorial by Gustav Astep

Here’s the tutorial many of you have been waiting for. I started working on it in January and I invested a total of about 50h into making it. This tutorial will help you make a particle video, even if you’re a complete After Effects beginner. I hope it meets your expectations!

I don't make a lot of money with this tutorial so if you would like to support me, you can become a Patron (see link below) or donate to my PalPal: [email protected] - Every small donation helps me create more tutorials like this, as it allows me to spend less hours at work and more hours creating helpful videos :)

For your information, my piano has integrated LED’s so that light effect you see is real and I don’t know how to animate it in After Effects.
