About this template

Shape and layout

A row of square glass columns stands on a baseline, seen from slightly above so each shows a thin top face, bass on the left (or mirrored around the middle). Below them an optional wet floor mirrors the whole scene. Count, width, reach and position are yours to set; taller formats show fewer, wider columns.

Motion

Each column rises and falls with its frequency band and settles to a short block in silence. The light drifts slowly, so the reflections travel across the glass even in quiet passages, the smoke behind the row keeps moving, and the hardest hits sweep a bright glint along the row.

Look and colour

Neon lines trace every edge, light pools at each base and streaks through the glass, and a soft halo surrounds it all, over near-black smoke tinted to match. Colours come as single hues (cyan, violet, pink, gold, emerald, white or custom) or gradients such as aurora, sunset, ocean and ember.

What you can customize

Every setting below is yours to change in the editor, with the live preview updating as the track plays.

Visualizer

Bar count: How many glass columns run along the row in a landscape video. Taller formats show proportionally fewer, so each column keeps its width.
Bar width: How wide each column is compared with the gap between columns.
Row width: How much of the frame’s width the row of columns spans.
Bar reach: How tall a column grows at full level.
Vertical position: Moves the whole visualizer up or down the frame.
Frequency layout: Where the low frequencies sit along the row: running left to right, or mirrored around the middle.; Bass on the leftBass in the centre
Glass colours: One colour for every column, or a gradient that sweeps across the row. The smoke behind the columns takes the same colours.; Aurora (cyan to pink)Sunset (gold to violet)Ocean (green to blue)Ember (gold to red)CyanVioletPinkGoldEmeraldWhiteCustom
Custom glass colour
Edge glow: How bright the neon lines along the columns’ edges are.
Inner light: The light pooling at each column’s base and the streaks of light caught inside the glass.
Bloom: The soft halo of light around the glowing edges.
Light direction: Turns the light around the glass. The middle of the slider lights it from the upper left.
Light movement: How fast the light drifts back and forth, moving the reflections across the columns. Zero holds it still.
Beat glint: A bright glint that sweeps along the columns on strong beats.
Floor: A glossy wet floor that mirrors the columns below them, or no floor at all.; Wet floor reflectionNo floor
Reflection strength: How bright the floor’s reflection is.
Haze: The coloured smoke drifting behind the columns.
Vignette
Grain: Adds fine film-like noise over the frame for a textured, less digital look.
Audio reactivity: How strongly the visualizer moves with the music — lower for calmer motion, higher for a punchier response.
Attack: How quickly the visualizer responds when the sound gets louder.
Release: How quickly the visualizer settles after the sound drops.
Transient punch: How hard kicks set off the glint.
Idle height: How tall the columns stay when there is nothing to react to.

Background

Background photo
Background video
Background dimming: Darkens your photo or video behind the columns so the glass stands out.

Backdrop effects

Effects for your photo or video backdrop, shared by every template.

Zoom pump: How much the background photo or video zooms in on the bass. Zero keeps it at a fixed size.
Travel: How far the background photo or video wanders around the frame as the track plays. Zero holds it still.
Camera shake: A short camera shake on every kick — a vibration with a slight roll — plus a low rumble with the level. Zero holds the camera still.
Shockwave: Ripple rings spread out from the centre on the kicks and warp the picture as they pass. Zero never fires.
Lens: A lens bulge that pumps on the kicks, with a colour fringe in the outer frame that grows with the level.
Zoom blur: Radial streaks shoot out from the centre on the kicks, as if the camera rushed in. Zero never streaks.
Glow pulse: A soft bloom around the bright parts of the picture that swells on the kicks.
Light leaks: Warm patches of light drift slowly over the picture, brighter the louder the music — a film look.
Light rays: Shafts of light from the top-left corner, blocked by the darker parts of the picture, brighter with the music and flaring on the kicks. Zero keeps them off.
Light sweep: A soft, slanted band of light crosses the picture once a bar — or, without the track’s analysis, on a strong kick every few seconds at most. Zero never sweeps.
Lens flare: Long horizontal streaks of bluish light stretch out of the brightest parts of the picture on the kicks, and rest faintly in between. Zero keeps them off.
Fog: Slow drifting mist over the picture, thicker toward the bottom and breathing gently with the music. Zero keeps the air clear.
Particle overlay: A layer of drifting particles over the picture that brightens with the music.; OffDustBokehSnowSparksRainFirefliesConfettiBubblesStars
Particle amount: How many particles fill the frame.
Rain on glass: Raindrops on a pane in front of the picture: small beads, and bigger drops that slide down and bend the picture. Zero keeps the glass dry.
Echo: The previous frame lingers, slightly enlarged, so motion leaves trails and the kicks pull you into a tunnel.
Neon edges: The picture's own outlines traced in cycling neon colours, brightest on the kicks.
Glitch: Digital bursts on the kicks: sliced rows jump sideways, blocks freeze and the colour channels split. Zero never fires.
Pixelate: The picture breaks into square blocks on the kicks and sharpens again within a quarter of a second. Zero keeps it sharp.
Beat pulse: The picture breathes in time with the music, swelling and glowing just before each beat so it lands on it. Needs the track’s analysis.
Perspective tilt: Tilts the picture like a card in 3D, swaying slowly with the music and nodding on the kicks, with a light that follows the turn. Zero keeps it face-on.
Liquid: The picture ripples like a liquid surface, more strongly the louder the music. Zero keeps it flat.
Flash: A short flash toward white on the strongest kicks, at most two per second. Zero never flashes.
Retro VHS: Tape look: a gentle wobble, colour bleed, scan lines, noise and a tracking band that rolls through on the beat.
Old film: Projector look: flicker, hair scratches, dust, a gentle weave and a sepia lean.
Backdrop grain: Adds fine film-like noise over the frame for a textured, less digital look.
Color grade: A colour treatment over the whole picture — and the colours of the built-in backdrop when you set no photo or video.; NaturalWarmCoolMonoFaded
Duotone: Maps the picture’s light and shade onto two colours, dark to light. Custom uses the two colours you pick below.; OffMidnightSunsetForestGoldRoseCustom
Duotone shadows: The colour the darkest parts of the picture turn into.
Duotone highlights: The colour the brightest parts of the picture turn into.
Motion follows: What the camera moves follow — zoom pump, shake, tilt, shockwave, lens, zoom blur, liquid, depth, subject pop and focus. A stem needs the track’s stems.; Whole mixDrumsBassVocals
Light follows: What the light follows — glow, flashes, light leaks, rays, sweep, lens flare, fog, vignette, spotlight, rim light and hue steps. A stem needs the track’s stems.; Whole mixDrumsBassVocals
Texture follows: What the texture effects follow — glitch, pixelate, VHS, echo trails, neon edges, particles, rain on glass and subject ghost trails. A stem needs the track’s stems.; Whole mixDrumsBassVocals
Drop: The picture tightens, dims and drains of colour over the bars before a drop, then bursts open on it. Needs the track’s analysis.
Follow the song: Calmer reactions in the quiet parts of the song and bigger ones in the loud parts, easing at each change. Needs the track’s analysis.
Hue drift: The colours slowly cycle around the hue wheel and take a step on every kick. Zero keeps them as they are.
Depth parallax: Sways the near parts of the photo more than the far ones, and swells them on the kicks, so a flat picture gains depth. Needs the photo's depth map: off until it is ready, and on a video.
Focus rack: Blurs by depth like a lens: at rest the near part is sharp and the far part soft, and the focus pulls to the background and back on the kicks. Needs the photo's depth map; off until it is ready.
Depth fog: A pale haze over the far parts of the picture that breathes with the music, so the near parts stand out. Needs the photo's depth map; off until it is ready.
Keep subject crisp: Keeps the photo's subject untouched while blur, glow, echo, tape, grade and grain go to the background only. Needs the photo's subject map; off until it is ready.
Subject rim light: A neon rim of light hugging the photo's subject, with a soft halo behind it, flaring on the kicks. Needs the photo's subject map; off until it is ready, and on a video.
Subject ghost trails: Pale copies of the subject linger and drift outward with the music while the background stays put. Needs the photo's subject map; off until it is ready, and on a video.
Subject pop: The photo's subject swells toward the viewer on the kicks while the background holds still. Needs the photo's subject map; off until it is ready, and on a video.
Subject spotlight: Darkens the picture around the subject, like a spotlight that follows it and breathes with the music. Needs the photo's subject map; off until it is ready, and on a video.
Beat sync: Lands the stepping effects — the kaleidoscope, the hue drift and the shockwave rings — on the beat or the bar instead of on every bass hit. Needs the track’s analysis.; OffEvery beatEvery bar
Focus pulse: The picture softens and dims as the music settles and snaps sharp and bright on the hits. Zero keeps it steady.
Vignette pulse
Mirror: Folds the picture into mirrored copies. The kaleidoscope turns slowly and steps on the kicks.; OffLeft-rightFour-wayKaleidoscope
Particles behind subject: Spreads the particles through the scene's depth, so some pass behind the photo's subject. Needs the photo's depth map; off until it is ready, and on a video.; NoYes
