Specterr is an audio-reactive visualizer that generates spectrum bars, particles, and abstract graphics from your audio waveform.
BeatVids is different: BeatVids is an editor, not a visualizer. You use your own footage — the cuts, transitions, and effects all sync to BPM. The result looks like a real music video, not a generated animation.
