Music Visualizer: Animated Waveform Videos

Put your track over an animated waveform and a background, and download a video you can post.

Music Visualizer

A music visualizer is a video where shapes move with the sound.

Exemplary AI makes one from a track with vocals: pick a waveform from 10 styles, including line, double line, multi-line, circle, hill and bars, put it over a colour or image background, and export an MP4 (H.264) video in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9. It is the same tool as the audiogram maker, so you can add captions and a title too.

How it works

The rest of it

Music Visualizer is one part of one workspace

Music Visualizer is one door into the same workspace. Whatever you came here to make, the rest is already available from the file you just uploaded.

  • Upload once

    The same recording feeds every tool on the site. Nothing needs uploading twice to get a second format out of it.

  • Caption and translate

    Burned-in captions or subtitle files, in the spoken language or translated with the timings kept intact.

  • Repurpose without re-editing

    Clips, chapters, show notes, blog drafts and social posts all come off the one transcript.

Questions

Common questions

What is a music visualizer?
A video in which a graphic, such as a waveform or bars, moves with the music. Musicians use them to post a track on video platforms, where an audio file alone cannot go.
Which visualizer styles are there?
10 waveform styles: line, double line, multi-line, circle, hill and bars, with the line and bar styles each available at the top, middle or bottom of the frame. You choose the colours.
Does the music visualizer work with instrumental tracks?
It is made for tracks with vocals. You choose the part to visualize by selecting its words in the transcript, and AI Clips picks its moments from the transcript too, so an instrumental track gives you little or nothing to select.
Can I use my album art as the background?
Yes. Upload an image up to 1 MB, or use a solid colour.
How long can a music visualizer video be?
Up to 10 minutes per video, so most single tracks fit in one.
Which file formats does the music visualizer accept and export?
It takes MP3, WAV and M4A audio and exports MP4 (H.264) video. There is no transparent-background or 4K export.
Is the music visualizer free?
Yes. The Free plan includes 500 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark. AI Clips and audiogram tasks use credits, so the amount you can create depends on the tasks you run.
