About this template
Shape and layout
A hard white diamond frame sits at the centre of the frame, holding the elapsed timer, your cover art, or nothing, while two mirrored spectrum contours grow inward along its upper edges. A frosted veil surrounds the diamond with a visible gap between them, and the title sits near the bottom.
Motion
The gap between the diamond and the veil opens wider with the music while the backdrop behind it zooms in, and the two spectrum contours swell together as bass sits at the diamond's side points and treble at its top and bottom. With no photo or video, an ink-in-water field swirls slowly behind the veil.
Look and colour
A magenta, ember, emerald or mono colour preset — or a custom scheme — tints the frame, the veil and a cyan bloom that lights the inner edge of each spectrum peak. The frosted veil carries a milky haze of its own, and the whole scene sits inside a soft, almost static halo.
What you can customize
Every setting below is yours to change in the editor, with the live preview updating as the track plays.
Visualizer
- Diamond centre
- TimerArtworkNone
- Ink drift
- How fast the ink-in-water background swirls when no photo or video is set. Zero freezes it.
- Ink detail
- How much fine structure the ink background shows — lower leaves soft clouds, higher adds thin bright filaments.
- Color preset
- A ready-made colour scheme; pick Custom to choose your own colours.
- MagentaEmberEmeraldMonoCustom
- Veil tint
- Reactive glow
- Frame
- Veil image
- The picture seen through the frosted area around the diamond. Leave it empty to use a blurred copy of the background.
- Diamond size
- Frame thickness
- Spectrum reach
- How far the spectrum spikes grow out of the diamond's edges on loud passages.
- Baseline texture
- How thick the spectrum stays along the edges when the music is quiet. Zero leaves the edges bare.
- Frequency span
- How much of the frequency range the spectrum covers — lower stays with bass and mids, higher reaches into the treble.
- Frequency curve
- How the bands are spread across the frequency range — shifts how much room bass gets versus treble.
- Peak threshold
- How loud a band must be before it shows — higher leaves only the strongest peaks, lower keeps the quiet detail.
- Peak contrast
- How much the loudest bands stand out from the rest — higher makes peaks sharper and quiet bands lower.
- Fine detail
- How much faint detail survives that threshold — higher keeps small ripples between the peaks, zero cuts them away.
- Audio reactivity
- How strongly the visualizer moves with the music — lower for calmer motion, higher for a punchier response.
- Attack / release
- How quickly the visualizer rises on a hit and settles afterwards — low is snappy, high is smooth and lazy.
- Veil opacity
- How much the frosted veil covers the picture outside the diamond. Zero shows it sharp everywhere.
- Veil dimming
- Darkens what shows through the veil, so the diamond reads brighter than its surroundings.
- Veil fog
- A milky haze over the veil, like light scattered inside frosted glass.
- Veil reaction
- How wide the music opens the gap between the diamond and the veil around it. Zero keeps the gap fixed.
- Veil gap
- How wide the gap between the diamond and the veil is at rest, before the music opens it.
- Glow
- The tight light the diamond's frame and edges give off, right where they are drawn. Higher widens it.
- Bloom
- How far the light from the bright parts spills out over the rest of the frame. Zero leaves the light only where the glow puts it.
- Grain
- Adds fine film-like noise over the frame for a textured, less digital look.
Artwork
- Artwork image
- Artwork size
- Artwork dimming
- Darkens the artwork so the visualizer stands out against it.
- Artwork reaction
- How much the artwork pulses with the beat. Zero keeps it still.
Background
- Background photo
- Background video
- Background dimming
- Darkens the background photo or video so the visualizer and text stay readable.
- Background blur
- Softens the background photo or video so it reads as a backdrop, not the subject.
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.
