@dmsongs5 built 711K followers and 31.9M TikTok likes posting music videos made entirely with Vibely. Vibely turns your music into scroll-stopping videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Spotify Canvas - in minutes, not hours. On iPhone, iPad and now natively on Mac. WHAT YOU CAN CREATE: - Animated music videos for TikTok, Shorts and Reels - Spotify Canvas loops from your album artwork - Waveform and audio spectrum clips for podcasts - Lyric videos with custom text and backgrounds - YouTube intros and music promo content HOW IT WORKS: 1. Import any track - from Files, shared straight from another app, or extracted from a video. 2. Start from one of 48 ready-made templates, or build from scratch. 3. Stack layers: 11 reactive visualizers - audio spectrum, waveform, particles, particle ring, plasma, thunder, vortex, nebula, night sky, silk and synthwave sun - plus text, images, video, glass cards, vinyl disks, badges, progress bars and solid colors. Particles alone covers dust, starfields, snow, hearts, blossoms and numbers. 4. Add any of 36 effects, in five categories, and make each one react to the beat: glow, outline, drop shadow, vignette, god rays, star rays, ripples, twirl, liquify, melt, tiny planet, kaleidoscope, mirror, duotone, hue cycle, color cycle, strobe, invert, grayscale, adjust, VHS, TV static, glitch, pixel, blur, shake, dim, barrel, fisheye, flip, opacity and more. 5. Give every layer a blend mode and a place in depth, and the background video the same placement and effects as any layer. 6. Export in SD, HD, QHD or 4K, at up to 60fps. 7. Share directly to any platform. BUILT TO BE FAST: Vibely renders entirely on the GPU with Metal, so previews stay smooth while you work and exports finish in a fraction of the time. Undo and redo cover every edit, and your project saves itself as you go. Name any layer and its timeline bar says what it is. Every export keeps the song's title, artist and artwork, and is named after the project. THE SONG IS PART OF THE TIMELINE: The song sits as the timeline's first row, drawn as its own waveform. Trim it on that waveform, fade it in and out, and see every layer line up against it. A full-screen preview plays the result with nothing else on screen. EVERYWHERE YOU WORK: The editor is the same on iPhone, iPad and Mac. On a Mac and a wide iPad the panels sit in a column beside the canvas; on iPhone they are a sheet. VoiceOver reads and edits the timeline, layer by layer. WHAT CREATORS SAY: - "5 minutes with Vibely vs 3 hours anywhere else." - "All the music trends on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram you can do here, very very easy." - "The editing ability in this app is really high end." - "100% the best on the App Store." - "Best app I've used to make my videos on YouTube." - "You could possibly go very viral with it." - "Never have I ever become so quickly satisfied with a product. Exactly does the job, with lots of fine tuning options." BUILT FOR: - Music producers & independent artists promoting new releases - Content creators making TikTok, Reels & Shorts - Podcasters creating waveform preview clips - Artists animating album art for Spotify Canvas Available in 10 languages. Your next viral video starts here. ~~~ Terms of Service: https://tryvibely.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://tryvibely.app/privacy
