How it works
Three steps to a video.
01
No keyframes
Audio sync is automatic. BeatVisualiser reads your audio and drives every animation from it. No expressions, no keyframe curves, no warp stabiliser.
Automatic syncNo expressionsNo keyframes
02
Built for 9:16
Every style outputs in vertical format by default. No comp resizing, no render settings to configure. Square, wide, or vertical: pick and export.

In-browser, not in the timeline
Open a tab, drop in your audio, export. No project file, no cache to clear, no render queue. Your bounced track becomes a video in under a minute.

Is this actually as good as After Effects for music visualisers?+
For the specific job of exporting a spectrum, waveform, or vinyl visualiser for social media: yes. After Effects gives you more creative control for custom work. BeatVisualiser gives you a clean, professional output in a fraction of the time.
Do I need to know anything about video editing?+
No. You upload audio, pick a style, optionally tweak colours or upload artwork, and export. The whole process takes 2–5 minutes.
What quality does it export?+
1080p 60fps H.264 MP4 on Pro. Exactly what Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts expect.
Can I add lyrics like in After Effects?+
Yes. The Waveform style includes an auto-sync lyric engine. Paste in the words, set the start time, and BeatVisualiser places them frame-accurately. You can fine-tune timing in the lyric editor.
Is the free tier actually useful?+
720p 30fps with a watermark. Good for testing the output before upgrading to Pro for 1080p 60fps and no watermark.
Ready?
Your track deserves a better visual than a waveform screenshot.
