BeatVisualiser vs Music Waveform

BeatVisualiser makes music visualiser videos for promoting tracks on YouTube, TikTok, Shorts, and Reels. Add WAV, MP3, or FLAC audio, trim it to a chosen moment, then choose from more than 30 visual styles, including Spectrum, Waveform, Vinyl, Scope, and Split. Videos can use image or video backgrounds, custom artwork, and auto-synced lyrics. Exports are downloadable MP4s in vertical 9:16 or landscape 16:9, up to 1080p 60fps. YouTube Mode allows tracks up to 10 minutes per export; short-form exports stop at 60 seconds. The free account includes all styles, 1080p 60fps output, and no watermark, but only one export of up to 15 seconds; later exports cost one credit each. Pro is $16.99 a month, and Lifetime is $149, paid once, limited to the first 150 early supporters. The site says rendering happens locally in the browser, but Safari and Firefox lack the required rendering APIs.

Music Waveform turns audio files into animated waveform videos in a browser for musicians, podcasters, and video editors. It accepts MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A/AAC, and FLAC files, with eight adjustable styles: bars, mirror, radial, scope, area, dots, blob, and circle. Users can tune color, waveform reaction, and resolution up to 4K, then preview the animation in sync with playback. One-click presets provide analysis and visual settings. Exports include MP4 video, transparent WebM, and ZIP files of transparent PNG frames; PNG frames do not include an audio track. Audio decoding, analysis, rendering, and encoding run locally in the browser, and the maker says files are not uploaded or stored on a server. The free plan costs nothing, with no account, watermark, or paywall. MP4 export requires an up-to-date Chromium browser or Safari 17 or newer. Long exports may run out of memory on older phones. The tool does not edit or accept video, transcribe audio, separate stems, batch-process, or provide an API.
