Your sound, in motion
A still image can be beautiful. A video is the moment someone taps unmute.
WaveVisual video export takes the sound wave art you already designed—colors, layout, text, photos, the whole composition—and turns it into an animated file where the waveform moves in sync with your audio. One design; more ways to share it.
Made for the feed—and for the edit suite
Pick the format that fits where you’re going:
- MP4 — The default for social posts, reels, sites, and anywhere people expect a video file.
- GIF — Motion without a “play” button; great for DMs, comments, and places where a short loop just works.
- WEBM — Handy for the web when you want a modern, browser-friendly option (Chrome, Firefox, and other Chromium-based browsers play it well; Safari support varies by version, so keep MP4 in your back pocket).
- MOV (ProRes) — When you’re dropping your waveform on top of other footage in CapCut, Premiere, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve. Transparent areas stay transparent so you can composite cleanly.
Same animation idea across formats: the bars move with the sound. Your backgrounds, type, images, and QR codes stay part of the frame—only the waveform animation carries the energy.
Who this is for (without the jargon)
You’re sharing something personal — a vow, a voice note, a song that marks a moment. Video gives friends and family something they can feel in two seconds.
You’re promoting music — You already care how the wave looks. Now it moves with the track for clips, teasers, and posts that look intentional.
You’re growing a show — Turn highlights into visuals that match how your episode sounds, not just how your cover art looks.
You’re building in an editor — ProRes MOV is built for overlays: your WaveVisual design as a layer, your timeline as the boss.
From the editor to a finished file
Everything stays in the workflow you already use:
- Finish your design in the editor (including 16:9 and 4:3 if you’re thinking YouTube, slides, or classic video shapes).
- Open the Download tab and choose MP4, GIF, WEBM, or MOV—alongside your PNG, JPG, PDF, and SVG options.
- Let the export run. Recent Exports shows progress with thumbnails so you can keep designing, then grab the file when it’s ready.
Exports are rendered at 30 fps for smooth motion. Length is tied to your audio (with sensible limits—up to 22 minutes for video export), and you can trim to the exact moment you want in the spotlight.
The one thing worth doing for the best result
Video export shines brightest when the audio is yours—a file you upload or record in WaveVisual. That’s how we give you full-quality sound in the finished video and keep the waveform locked to what you hear.
Using a Spotify link for the art? Your static designs still sing. For video, plan around uploaded or recorded audio when you can.
Ready when you are
You already designed the piece. Video export is how you hand it to the world in motion—the same art, now alive with the track or voice behind it.
Open the WaveVisual editor and use the Download tab when you’re happy with the layout.
