In this article, we’re going to present to you the top 12 music visualizer websites and apps out there on the market. Here you can find visualizations for both live performance and your music videos.

The program is free, so it’s always worth trying it out.

4. VEED

A lot of people don’t need full-time editing software and don’t know how to use it, as it takes years to learn how to use something like Adobe Premiere or something similar.

So, people at VEED decided to make an online, easy-to-use, editing tool that fits all of the basic (and not so basic) needs you might have.

You can try it out through an available free version, but only in low-res and with a watermark. There are two paid plans, 12$ and 24$ per month, with annual or monthly payments (as always it’s more expensive to pay just one month). With it, you can get up to 2 hours of video, 100GB storage, unlimited exports, and 4K maximum resolution.

If you’re serious about your videos and VJ performances, this is a top pick.

6. Magic Visuals
