An audio visualizer for your MP3 — footage, not spectrum bars
A spectrum visualizer draws bars from your audio; BeatVids cuts real footage to your audio's beat. Pick the one your upload actually needs.
How to make an audio visualizer video from an MP3
Drop the track in
Open the free demo — no signup — and drop in your MP3. Demo audio is session-only; persistent audio uploads are Pro.
Set the BPM
Enter the tempo once. The cut grid is computed from the BPM, so sync survives 808s and pads that break auto-detection.
Pick the visuals
Demo clips are free; your own clips (up to 20) are Pro. Arrange them on the timeline — everything snaps to the grid.
Optional: beat-keyed FX
Kick punch, strobe flash, RGB shake — fire any of 22 OG effects on the grid windows you choose.
Export
In-browser render, unlimited on every tier. Free exports carry a small corner watermark; Pro is clean 1080p.
Two kinds of "audio visualizer"
Generated visualizers compute spectrum bars, particles, or shader art from your waveform — the Specterr/Vizzy category. They're good for abstract backgrounds, and if that's what you want, say no more: BeatVids vs Specterr and BeatVids vs Vizzy draw the honest line.
Footage visualizers cut and pulse real clips on the beat grid — the video still looks like a video. BeatVids is the second kind, deliberately. Half the people searching "audio visualizer for MP3" are producers who need a real visual for a YouTube upload, not bars.
Who uses an MP3 visualizer
Producers uploading beats to YouTube — a weekly catalog cadence needs minutes per video, not hours. The type beat video maker page covers that workflow.
Artists who need a visual for a single before the real video exists — your track plus footage, on the beat, today.

Free vs Pro
FAQ

No. Exports are unlimited and full-length on every tier. Free carries a small corner watermark; Pro is clean.
