   Is there any way to make an audio visualizer/equalizer that interacts with the music in the clip? similar to the sidebar effects on the videos that vitaldubstep uploads. If there is can you help me out?

   Hey, when I put the picture in, it does not move at all. It’s just a plain picture when I play it through the movie. Any advice?
