Each card shows the creator's name and a link to the original. Copy a shared prompt or start from it. Your Potto video will look different.* ## Pick the song, then the clip Decide what the clip should do: tease a release, show a beat or sell an album. That choice picks the part of the song. ### Singles and teasers *16:9 · 0:58* Choose the hook or the chorus. Ninety seconds is enough for a teaser. Put the song title on screen so the clip works alone. ### Beats and instrumentals *1:1 · 1:01* A beat has no voice to caption, so the waveform carries the clip. Start at the drop. Use bars for a hard beat. ### Albums and cover art *16:9 · 0:18* Upload the cover. The ring style puts it inside the visualizer. Name the artist and the track in your message. - [Neon city lyrics pulse in the 'Noise Canceller' music video by nakaaki04](https://x.com/nakaaki04/status/2104013220231118861) - [Live-coded dubstep beat visualized as a sequencer by Rames_Jusso](https://x.com/Rames_Jusso/status/2103200703598776559) - [Streaming-app tour of a fictional album release by brainextends](https://x.com/brainextends/status/2103801834930606193) ## How to make a music visualizer Use the creator above. You approve the clip before anything is exported. ### 1. Upload your song Upload your song with a cover image. Say where it starts, such as 1:05 or the second chorus. ### 2. Approve the clip in chat Potto lists the start and end of the clip. Approve it, or ask for a different part. ### 3. Preview, then export Review the waveform, the text and the cover.

It draws the waveform from your song and adds your cover, text and captions. ### One clip from your song Say which part of the track matters. Potto proposes one continuous clip. Ask again if it misses. - Up to 90 seconds per clip - Plays in the song's order - [Synthwave EQ visualizer plays the coded track Kara Hicaz by surucudev](https://x.com/surucudev/status/2103917032706101254) ### A waveform that moves with the music Choose bars, a wave or a ring. Each one reacts to the loudness of your own track. - Bars, wave or ring - Built from your track - [Glowing waveform splits into rainbow waves in a starry night by pivi___](https://x.com/pivi___/status/2103024907965612250) ### Your cover art in the visualizer A clip shared alone still shows whose song it is. A title line and a smaller name line sit next to the waveform. - Cover art in the frame - Title and artist on screen - [Pixel DJ mascot spins under lasers and an LED wall by leodavincs3](https://x.com/leodavincs3/status/2103777099941060913) ### Captions you can save as SRT Potto transcribes your clip for on-screen captions.

A music visualizer is a video where shapes move with a song. Bars, waves or a ring react to the sound, so the track has something to watch. Artists post one when they have a song but no music video. Potto is a music visualizer maker. It draws the shapes from your own audio. Each frame shows how loud each frequency range is. ### What is the difference between a visualizer and a music video? A visualizer puts moving shapes over the audio. A music video tells a story with footage or animation. A visualizer needs no footage, only the song and a cover image. Potto makes the visualizer kind: waveform, cover art and text. It does not film people or animate characters. ### How do I make a music visualizer with Potto? Open the creator at the top and upload your track. Add a cover image if you have one. Say where the clip starts. Potto proposes a start and end time in chat. Confirm the proposal or ask for another part. Then preview the result and export the MP4. ### Is this music visualizer free? You can start free. Building and previewing cost nothing. Sign-up gives you 100 credits, which covers one 15-second export. You need enough credits for the length you pick before you start. Export is where the 5 credits per second apply. ### Can I make a music visualizer for a full song? No. A Potto music visualizer uses one clip of up to 90 seconds. Your file can be up to 10 minutes long and 20 MB in size. Pick the hook, the drop or the chorus. Post the clip as a teaser for the full track. ### Which audio files can the music visualizer maker take? Upload MP3, WAV or M4A. Keep each file under 20 MB and 10 minutes. Your audio is the soundtrack. Potto does not remix it or add other music. ### Does the visualizer move with the music? Yes. The waveform is drawn from your audio, one frame at a time. Louder frequency ranges move their part of the shape more. It is not a preset loop laid over your song. ### What music visualizer styles are there? There are three: bars, wave and ring. You get bars unless you ask for another. A wave suits calm tracks. A ring circles your cover art. Keep one style for the whole clip. ### Can I add my cover art, song title and artist name? Yes. Upload the cover image with your track. Name the song and the artist in your message. Both appear on screen with the waveform. Potto only shows details you give it. ### Are there captions on a music visualizer? Captions start switched on. They come from a transcript of your clip, plus an SRT file you can save. Sung words are harder to transcribe than speech. Check every line against your lyrics before you export. ### What sizes can I export? Every export is a 1080p MP4 at 30 fps. Square 1:1 is the default. Choose 16:9 for a widescreen player or 9:16 for phones. You upload the MP4 to YouTube or any other site yourself. ### How many credits does a music visualizer cost? Each second of video costs 5 credits. A 30-second clip costs 150 credits. A 90-second clip costs 450 credits. Your song supplies the audio, and there is no voiceover charge. ## Try the music visualizer maker Upload your track and confirm the clip. Your MP4 is one export away.
