Music visualizer for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok
Short vertical clips are the fastest way to get a new track heard. Glowtrack Studio renders any of its visualizer styles in the 1080×1920 vertical format all three platforms use, and can automatically find the most energetic 15, 30 or 60 seconds of your song — usually the drop or the chorus — so you can post a teaser in minutes.

Made for vertical
- Four formats — vertical 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, square 1:1, portrait 4:5 for the Instagram feed, and landscape 16:9 for regular YouTube.
- Best-part clips — choose Best 15 / 30 / 60 seconds and the strongest section of the track is picked for you, with a smooth audio fade in and out.
- Safe-zone guides — the preview shows where the apps place their buttons and captions, so your title and logo stay visible.
- Every style works — logo rings, liquid layers, synthwave terrain, lofi scenes, VHS and more all lay themselves out for the taller frame.
- Separate scene layouts — rain boxes and lights are saved per format, so you can fit them to the vertical crop of your artwork.
Step by step
- Open the Glowtrack Studio music visualizer in vertical format and drop in your track.
- Add your artwork. Use Background crop position to choose which part of a wide image fills the tall frame.
- Keep your title and logo out of the red safe-zone areas in the preview.
- Press Export video, set Range to Best 30 seconds (or pick your own section) and export at 1080p.
- Upload the same MP4 to Shorts, Reels and TikTok.

Questions
How long can my clip be?
YouTube Shorts accept up to 3 minutes. TikTok and Instagram allow longer uploads, but 15–60 seconds is the sweet spot for music teasers.
What resolution should I use?
1080×1920 (the 1080p option in vertical format) is what all three platforms recommend. 4K vertical is available but makes much bigger files for little visible gain on phones.
Can I make a square or Instagram feed version?
Yes — switch the format to Square 1:1 or Portrait 4:5 and export again. Each format keeps its own scene layout.
