Questions.
The short answers. Anything else: write to us. Step by step: the guides.
How do I make a video?
Add your song in Media. If the file carries its artwork, the disc uses it. Pick a Player and a Background, then Export. The video is exactly the preview.
Do I need an account?
No account to design or preview. A free account to export: one tap with Google, or an email.
Which files can I use?
Audio: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC or AIFF. Images: JPG, PNG or WebP. Photo and video backgrounds are Pro.
Which formats and sizes?
9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1:1 and 4:5 for the Instagram feed, 16:9 for YouTube, and Spotify Canvas. Videos are Full HD (1080p) MP4. Pro exports several formats at once.
How long can a video be?
Up to 45 seconds on Free. Up to 15 minutes on Pro and Lifetime, and up to 10 minutes on a CDJ, an iPod or a Walkman, which draw every frame. A Spotify Canvas is 3 to 8 seconds, the length of a whole number of turns of the disc.
What can I do for free?
Everything is open in the studio: try any player, background or pressing. A free export runs up to 45 seconds, with a watermark, 1 a day: any disc shape or black vinyl over a color. Export lists what needs Pro, and Use free settings takes it back in one tap.
Can I remove the watermark?
Yes, with Pro or Lifetime. Free exports carry a small AudioAnimate watermark. A Spotify Canvas never has one.
What does Pro add?
Pro adds:
- No watermark
- Clips up to 15 min
- 10 downloads a day
- Every player: turntables, CDJs, CD players, iPod, Walkman
- Animated backgrounds
- Photo and video backgrounds
- Colored vinyl, any speed, disc size and framing
- Several formats in one export
- Saved presets
How much is it?
Pro is $6.99 a month or $49 a year. Lifetime is $109, paid once: everything in Pro, for good, with every future update. Prices in USD.
Can I use music that is not mine?
Use music you own or have permission to use. The video carries the song you added, and platforms can mute or remove a track you do not have the rights to, whatever tool made the video. AudioAnimate does not check or license music.
Why 10 downloads a day?
It's far more than a release needs, and it keeps renders fast for everyone. The count resets at midnight UTC.
How long does a video take?
Usually a few seconds for a one-minute clip over a color, longer over a moving background. A CDJ, an iPod or a Walkman draws every frame: it takes longer, about 20 seconds per minute of clip. Export shows the wait. You can keep editing while it renders.
What do I get?
An MP4 in Full HD (1080p), H.264, ready for Instagram, TikTok, Reels, Shorts and YouTube. On iPhone, tap Save to Photos when it's ready.
How do I change plan, update my card or cancel?
Account, then Manage or cancel. Switch between monthly and yearly, update your card, download invoices or cancel. A cancelled plan stays on until the end of the period you paid for.
My payment failed. Do I lose Pro?
Not right away. We try again over the next days and your plan stays on. Update your card from Account to settle it.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in the browser. On iPhone and Android you can add it to your Home Screen and open it like an app.
Tips for a good result?
Use square artwork of at least 1000 px, pick the 30 to 60 seconds that hook, and choose the format of the place you post.
