BeatDance
Read full descriptionHide full description
BeatDance is an original creation tool for turning your own audio into beat-synced 3D music ball videos. Import an MIDI, MP3 or M4A file from your device — or pick a video and let the app extract its audio track — and the app analyzes the rhythm and automatically builds a 3D scene in seconds. During preview, the ball bounces, rolls, and interacts with generated structures such as boards, rails, pipes, and bells exactly on the beat, so the motion and the music stay visually locked together. Before generating, you can pick the part of the song you want: drag the two handles on the waveform to select a section, or use auto-trim to remove the silence at the start and end. The 3D scene and the exported video use only that section. Unlike tools that require manual 3D editing, BeatDance focuses on fast automatic scene generation. After importing audio, users can directly get a playable scene without placing platforms or adjusting timing by hand. BeatDance also includes features designed for visually distinctive results: - Seamless loop playback and export, with loop-aware scene construction for continuous replay - Curved World styles that bend the whole scene for a more unique visual look - A first-person view that places you inside the scene for a more immersive way to watch the ball - A "Props" panel for choosing which charms (star, heart, bell) and fixtures (bulb, torch, flower) may appear in a scene - A "Color" panel with several picture styles and an adjustable vignette - A customizable default background with adjustable brightness and reflection strength - Automatic preset cycling that switches between saved presets at the interval you set - Multiple ball materials, trail effects, impact effects, extra effects, and wall textures - Adjustable lighting: brightness, color warmth, environment light direction, and environment light strength - Audio trimming so you can build a scene from just the section you want - Video export for saving the generated result to your device - A relatively lightweight installation footprint for a 3D scene creation workflow BeatDance is built for creators who want to quickly turn music into stylized 3D rhythm visuals on mobile. Disclaimer: This app provides audio analysis, scene generation, preview, and export tools only. Please make sure you have the legal right to use any audio or video files you import.

Play with your music. High Videlity turns whatever you're playing into a live visual — and then hands you the controls. On every screen you own. 500 hand-picked presets are included, and you can point the app at your own .milk library and it will index the whole thing. Browse by category, author, energy and look, with live-rendered thumbnails. Build playlists. Let auto-advance drive, with an ink-style morph between presets instead of a hard cut. IT REACTS TO THE SONG, NOT THE VOLUME Most visualizers watch a level meter. High Videlity separates songs in your own library into four parts — vocals, drums, bass and instruments — and lets each one drive the visuals independently. Bass pumps the zoom. Drums drive the warp. Vocals rotate the color. Separation runs on your Mac, on-device, and the result is cached so every other device you own picks it up without redoing the work. On top of that, the visuals are tuned by what the song actually is — its tempo, its musical key, its energy — so a ballad and a breakbeat don't move the same way. BUILT FOR EACH SCREEN On Apple TV it's the shared living-room visual, drivable entirely from the Siri Remote — and you can stream from the Mac so the TV gets full stem reactivity. On Vision Pro, run it in a window, paint it across the walls of your actual room, or step all the way inside an immersive dome. On iPhone and iPad you get the full Studio in your pocket — and a remote for the TV. On Mac it can visualize anything playing — a browser, another app, the room around you through the mic — and publish itself into Resolume or VDMX over Syphon. MAKE YOUR OWN Studio lets you bind any stem or musical attribute to any part of the visual, live. Blend two presets on a two-deck rig. Paste in a Shadertoy-style GLSL shader and bind stems to its parameters. Publish what you make, and browse what everyone else has published. SHARE IT AS VIDEO Export any moment as a video clip — sized for Reels, TikTok, Shorts, or up to 4K — and send it straight to Photos or any app. The render is frame-accurate to what you saw, with your preset, your bindings, your mix. QUIET BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-in. Anonymous usage reporting is off unless you turn it on, and your audio files never leave your machine. Bright-flash limiting is built in and on by default. New here? A bundled demo track shows the whole thing off before you play a note of your own. — Apple Music features require an Apple Music subscription. Stem separation runs on macOS and works with audio files you own.
