Customize & Style
Colors, text, logos and audio-reactive tuning
Recolor Your Visualizer with Themes & Engine Settings
Restyle any scene in one click with the nine palette presets, then fine-tune individual colors, and keep them consistent with your branding.
Add Titles, Artist Text & a Logo
Brand any visualizer with a song title, artist name and logo: positioned precisely, styled for readability, and repeatable across every video.
Tune Audio Reactivity & Beat Sync
The difference between a generic bouncing visual and one that feels mixed to your song: Sensitivity, Reactivity, Pulse/Burst, Frequency Focus and beat motion, in the right order.
Create a Custom Visualizer from a Still or Video
Build an editable visualizer from a blank canvas, a still image or a video, then sync it to a local soundtrack and export a loop.
Build a Visualizer with the Editor Timeline
Find visualizer parts, preview assets, add only what you need, and arrange the supported tracks in Classic or Studio.
Add Layers to a Music Visualizer: Snow, Fireworks, Lights and More
Every visualizer now has layers: hide or recolour a look's own snow, lights or tree, and add falling snow, fireworks, lanterns, string lights, rays or fog on top.
Use an Earlier Version of a Rebuilt Visualizer
When we rebuild a visualizer, its earlier look stays available. Preview it on the template page, open it in Classic or Studio, and keep a project on the version you made it with.
Redraw a Picture or Video into a Visualizer
Turn a picture into editable, music-reactive artwork, or choose whether a video stays footage, becomes a still redraw, or has confident region movement reconstructed locally.
