The Video Editor for Musicians, Bands and Labels

• Lyric videos with karaoke word timing

  Auto-transcribe your vocals with word-level timestamps, then apply one of 176 caption presets, including word-by-word karaoke styles where the active word fills with color as it is sung. Every word is editable, so you can fix a misheard lyric, recolor the hook, or add emphasis to a single syllable. Lines sit on the timeline as cues you can nudge until the timing feels right.

• Beat sync with snap-to-beat editing

  The new beat sync feature detects the beat of your uploaded track automatically and lays a beat grid across the timeline. Cuts, keyframes and transitions snap to the grid, so montage edits land on the downbeat instead of a few frames off. It works on any audio you upload, from a demo bounce to a mastered single.

• 93 music visualizer styles

  Choose from waveform, FFT spectrum and bar visualizers, 93 styles in total, and recolor any of them to match your cover art. Layer a visualizer over album art, tour photos or footage, then resize it for a vertical, square or widescreen canvas. It reacts to your actual audio, no manual animation needed.

• Audiograms for track promos

  The audiogram creator combines your cover art, an animated waveform and captioned lyrics into a short clip built for feeds. Pick the 15 seconds with your best hook, caption it, and export a 9:16 or 1:1 MP4 for Reels and TikTok. It is the fastest way to give a song a visual before the real video exists.

• Spotify Canvas loops

  Spotify Canvas takes a 3 to 8 second vertical MP4, and EchoWave exports exactly that: set the canvas to 9:16, trim to the most hypnotic bar of your track, preview it looping, and render. One honest note: EchoWave produces the file, and you upload it yourself through Spotify for Artists, since Spotify does not allow third-party uploads.

• Built as a video editor for musicians

  EchoWave treats your track as the star: the canvas auto-sizes to your first upload, audio sits on its own tracks, and there is deliberately no stock music library, because the entire point is your music. A categorized panel of 30 sound-effect packs covers risers and impacts for edits.

• A real timeline underneath

  Under the music tools sits a multi-track magnetic timeline with keyframes on position, scale, rotation and opacity, plus motion paths you can draw by hand. There are 56 transitions and 81 text animations to time against the grid. If you outgrow the presets, nothing stops you building a full music video shot by shot.

• Templates for tour dates and release days

  Save a promo layout as a template with text, image and audio placeholders, and your brand kit keeps fonts, colors and logos consistent across every post. Need 20 city announcements for a tour? Upload a CSV and batch render up to 100 versions in one go, each with its own date and venue.

1. 1

   Upload your track and artwork

   Drop in your MP3 or WAV, plus cover art, press photos or footage. The canvas auto-sizes to the first thing you add, and the editor is free to use without an install or a download.

2. 2

   Add lyrics or a visualizer

   Run auto-captions to transcribe your vocals with word timestamps and pick a karaoke preset, or skip lyrics and choose one of the 93 visualizer styles. Recolor either to match your cover art with the brand kit.

3. 3

   Cut everything to the beat

   Turn on beat detection to get a beat grid on the timeline, then snap cuts, keyframes and transitions to it. Add zoom pops or motion-path moves on the downbeats where the track hits hardest.

4. 4

   Resize and export per platform

   Duplicate the project across 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Reels and Canvas, and 1:1 for feed posts. Free exports are HD MP4s up to 720p with a small removable EchoWave badge, and paid plans remove it and render 1080p up to 4K, with 8K and 120fps on Business.

• A lyric video for the new single

  Transcribe the vocal, fix the lines the AI misheard, and apply a karaoke preset so each word fills as it is sung, with the hook in a second color. Post the full 16:9 version on YouTube and cut a 9:16 chorus clip for Shorts from the same project.

• Spotify Canvas for every track

  Trim each song's most looping-friendly 8 seconds, set the canvas to 9:16, and export an MP4 that fits Spotify's 3 to 8 second spec. Upload the files yourself in Spotify for Artists, one per track on the record.

• Audiogram teasers before release

  Stack cover art, an animated waveform and a captioned hook line into a 15 second vertical clip. Schedule nothing inside EchoWave, just download the MP4 and post it to Reels and TikTok in the run-up to release day.

• Full-track YouTube uploads

  Lay a spectrum visualizer over the album art so the track can stream on YouTube the day it drops. Add scrolling end credits for writers, producers and the mastering engineer with the built-in credits maker.

• Tour date announcements at scale

  Build one on-brand template with placeholders for city, venue and date, then batch render a version for every stop from a CSV. Twenty posts come out matching, without twenty separate editing sessions.

• Live clips cut on the beat

  Drop in phone footage from last night's show, run beat detection on the audio, and snap your cuts to the grid so the edit moves with the song. Finish with a transition on the final hit and captions for the crowd chant.
