Our vision

One free program to create anything

Sonic Weaver is its own program, not a template pack for another one. It started as a music visualizer and has grown into a studio for music videos, motion graphics, 3D, pictures and sound, free in your browser. The goal is simple to say: one program where anyone can make anything, so no one needs a shelf of paid subscriptions to create.

What Sonic Weaver is

47

visualizer engines, each written from scratch

291

looks you can make your own

24

workspaces in one program

Two editors sit at the centre: Classic, with a Timeline for whole videos, and Studio, a node graph for building looks. Around them are the workspaces, and SW Agent, the assistant built into the site, can open and use them all.

The promises

Free, always

Ads pay for the site. Every feature is there for everyone, and what you make is yours to use, commercially, with no conditions from us.

One program

Every tool is a workspace in the same program, editing the same project. Classic and Studio open any of them as a tab.

Built from scratch

Every engine, editor and workspace is our own code, written for Sonic Weaver. The open-source building blocks we use are credited on the licences page.

Your files stay yours

Rendering, analysis and the assistant run on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to save or share it.

An assistant that shows its work

SW Agent plans a job in steps, checks itself and tells you what it did and where its facts came from. It runs no AI model, and other AIs can use the whole program too.

Measured, then claimed

Every system has its tests and its checks, and a release that breaks one does not go live. The live checks are on the status page.

What it brings together

The jobs people usually need several paid programs for, in one place:

  • Motion graphics, keyframes and templates: Classic's Timeline, Studio's node graph, Motion graphics, Keyframes, Transitions, Intros and outros.
  • Editing videos, lyric videos and captions: Classic's Timeline, Lyric videos, the music video maker, Convert.
  • 3D: 3D models with rigs and materials, moving to the music.
  • Pictures and design: The image editor, thumbnails, banners, cover art and watermarks.
  • Audio: Stem splitting, mastering and sound effects.
  • Going live: The Stream studio and the 24/7 station.

Where it is going

These are plans, worked on in the open, release by release (see the changelog):

  1. The assistant becomes a worker: multi-step jobs across every workspace, with its own checks.
  2. Geometry and formulas for every look: symmetry, warps and shapes, with numbers written as formulas.
  3. Our earlier tools brought in: caption studio, logo maker, mockups, slideshows and more.
  4. Music creation: make the song and its video in one place, from the same notes.
  5. One animation system across every workspace, and rigs for 2D and 3D characters.
  6. A desktop app that connects the creative programs you already have.
