Audio-reactive visuals

Audio visualizer withten reactive styles

Spectrum bars, waveforms, a pulse ring, a voice-mode blob — moving with the actual speech and music mix in your video. Any colour, dragged wherever you want it, drawn locally for free.

How to use the audio visualizer in three steps

Audio-only content has a visual problem: there's nothing to look at. A visualizer solves it in the least effortful way possible — it's motion that's genuinely tied to the content, not a stock loop. Shorz draws it over the finished composition, so it sits above B-roll, captions and titles.

Spectrum bars, mirror bars, waveform, wave line, circular spectrum, a voice-mode-style blob, pulse ring, bouncing dots, retro LED matrix panel, or a vectorscope.

Colour and place it

Set any colour — white is the default — then drag it into position and resize it directly in the editor preview. Corner, lower third, or dead centre for an audiogram.

Export with everything else

The visualizer renders on top of B-roll, subtitles and titles, moving with the combined speech and music mix. It costs no credits because it's drawn locally at render time.

Why Audio Visualizer in Shorz

A podcast project in Shorz with an audio-reactive visual element

Audiograms without a separate tool

A podcast quote over a still, with a waveform that actually moves — the standard audiogram format — is a two-minute job here instead of a separate subscription. Add captions and it's ready for LinkedIn or Reels.

Podcast clips

A music track with an audio-reactive visualizer layered on the video

Music videos in one click

Generate a track, put a visualizer over a still or a loop, and you have a music-reactive video. Turn on beat-synced zoom and it moves twice — with the visualizer and with the cut.

Audio Visualizer questions

Ten: spectrum bars, mirror bars, waveform, wave line, circular spectrum, an OpenAI-voice-mode-style blob, pulse ring, bouncing dots, a retro LED matrix panel, and a vectorscope.

The video's combined speech and music mix, so it moves with everything the viewer actually hears rather than one isolated track.

Yes — drag it into position and resize it directly in the editor preview, and set it to any colour (white is the default).

No. It's drawn locally at render time, so it's free on every run including the free weekly allowance.
