Audio Visualizer

Create stunning audio visualizers that react to your music in real time. Choose between EQ bar visualizers and waveform displays. Customize bar count, width, spacing, colors, and opacity. Position the visualizer anywhere on screen — top, bottom, center, or custom coordinates. Apply different styles including classic bars, mirrored, circular, and radial layouts. Your visualizer syncs perfectly with the beat, giving your videos that professional music video look.

  • Custom positioning — place anywhere on the canvas
  • Multiple layouts — top, bottom, center, full-width
  • Color customization — gradient, solid, or reactive colors
  • Style presets — minimal, neon, retro, modern
  • Adjustable sensitivity and smoothing

Dynamic Audio Effects

Make your videos truly feel the music with audio-reactive dynamic effects. Tapedit detects kicks, snares, and beats in your audio and triggers visual effects in sync. A kick can trigger a zoom pulse, a flash of light, a strobe effect, or an increase in glitch intensity. Configure sensitivity, intensity, and which effects respond to which frequencies. This creates that punchy, professional music video feel where every beat hits visually.

  • Kick detection — automatic beat/kick recognition
  • Zoom pulse — camera zoom triggered by bass hits
  • Flash — bright flash on beat impact
  • Strobe — rapid light flicker on intense sections
  • Glitch intensification — increase glitch on beats
  • Custom sensitivity — fine-tune detection thresholds
  • Per-frequency targeting — map effects to bass/mid/treble
