Yes. You can export your sound wave design as animated video. The waveform bars animate in sync with your audio. Available formats in the Download tab include MP4, GIF, WebM, and MOV.
How to export a video:
- Open your design in the editor.
- Go to the Download tab.
- Choose MP4, GIF, WebM, or MOV and pick options (for MP4, sizes include Optimized, 1080p, or Large where offered).
- Export uses credits, like image downloads.
Transparent background: If you need alpha (transparent areas stay transparent for layering in an editor), export MOV—see Can I export video with a transparent background?.
Important: Video export works only with uploaded audio (files you upload or record in WaveVisual). Spotify songs cannot be exported as video due to licensing. The maximum duration is 22 minutes (based on your trimmed or full audio).
