Create a YouTube music visualizer with your own artwork

A wide 16:9 composition gives artwork, lyrics, and audio-reactive motion room to breathe for a YouTube upload.

Compose for a wide player

Set 16:9 before you arrange the artwork. Keep artist names and lyric lines away from the edges, then inspect the whole frame at normal playback size: a small caption that looks fine while editing can disappear on a TV or laptop player.

What to expect

  • Set 16:9 before placing type.
  • Check the opening frame and a high-energy section.
  • Export at 720p or 1080p.

Use a final upload checklist

The exported visual is only one part of a YouTube release. Confirm you have publishing rights for the audio and imagery, use a descriptive upload title and description, and review the encoded file before publishing.

Helpful details

  • Use media you have permission to publish.
  • Watch the exported file from beginning to end.
  • Keep a clean master file for future uploads.
