Film yourself playing piano. PianoCam turns the video into a falling-notes video, sheet music, or both — automatically. NO MIDI KEYBOARD, NO CABLES Just a video of you playing, from your phone or your camera roll. PianoCam listens to the audio, finds every note, and builds the visuals for you. Works with any piano or keyboard. MAKE IT YOURS • 18 templates for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and YouTube in 9:16, 4:5, 1:1, or 16:9, with your song title and @handle. • Falling notes with a playhead, note pop, or glow. Choose your colors and hand colors. • Sheet music that scrolls in sync with your playing, with optional chord names. • Fix any note the app got wrong: timing, pitch, length, loudness, which hand. • Gentle audio cleanup for room rumble and hiss. EXPORT AND SHARE • 1080p or 4K, 30 or 60 fps. • Keep your original audio or mix in a sampled piano. • Save or share the video, plus MIDI and MusicXML for your music apps. FALLING NOTES AND SHEET MUSIC ARE FREE Every performance gets falling notes and a sheet music score, made on your device at no cost. For tricky rhythm, swing or rubato, refine the score with the cloud arranger for one credit; your first three are free. Credits never expire and there is no subscription. Videos up to 60 seconds. Cloud refine needs an internet connection. Notes, hand assignments, and chords are automatic estimates you can edit.
