Video Editor

The DJ.Studio Video Editor lets you create videos for your mixes directly inside DJ.Studio.

You can combine animations, videos, album artwork, images, colors, text, spectrum analyzers, particles, transitions, and other visual elements to create a fully customized video mix.

The Video tab contains all settings used to customize your video's appearance.

This video shows you everything about how to add visuals to your DJ mix in DJ.Studio and export it as a video file.

There are two ways to edit your visuals.

Select either:

Changes are applied to the entire track.

If you want the visuals to change during a track—for example, at the drop—you can add additional video clips.

To do this:

DJ.Studio creates a yellow Video window that can be moved anywhere on the timeline.

This gives you much more flexibility by allowing different visual settings during different parts of the same track.

The Video Editor combines multiple visual elements to create your final video.

Available options include:

If you've configured one track exactly how you want it, click Apply settings to all tracks to copy the current video's settings to every track in your project.

DJ.Studio supports six different background types.

Animation backgrounds include 99 different animations, including several audio-reactive animations that move in time with your music.

You can either:

Random mode automatically changes between animations every:

Shadertoy provides high-quality animated backgrounds for your videos.

Because many Shadertoys are GPU-intensive 3D animations, a capable graphics card is recommended.

The Shadertoy controls include:

Choose between:

Select a Shadertoy from the chosen library.

Use the arrow buttons to browse forwards and backwards.

Click the heart icon to add the current Shadertoy to your Favorites.

Synchronizes the animation with the beat of the currently playing track.

Use the album artwork embedded in your music file as the video background.

Upload your own MP4 files to use as video backgrounds.

You can also use the video that belongs to the imported track to create synchronized music videos.

Use any image from your computer as a background.

Use a solid colour as the background for your video mix.

Track information can be displayed on top of the selected background, allowing viewers to see details about the currently playing track.

The following display layouts are available:

Track information can include details such as the artist name, track title, and album artwork.

The Spectrum Analyzer creates an audio-reactive visualization based on the frequency content of your mix.

It can be displayed on top of your selected background to add an extra visual element to your exported videos.

Choose from three display modes:

Two sliders allow you to fine-tune the appearance of the analyzer.

Controls the amount of amplification applied to the spectrum signal.

Increasing the intensity makes the analyzer react more strongly to your music.

Controls how quickly the spectrum updates.

Higher blur values create smoother, slower movement, while lower values produce a faster and more responsive animation.

The position of the Spectrum Analyzer depends on the selected Track Information layout.

Enable Particles to overlay additional animated particle effects on top of your video.

Enable Wave Line to display a real-time white waveform representing the audio during playback.

The Transition setting determines how the visuals change from one video section to the next.

Available transition styles include:

Global Text displays custom text across your entire video.

You can use this to show information such as:

You can upload your own logo or watermark so it appears throughout your exported video.

This is useful for branding your mixes before sharing them online.

To export your mix as a video:

For more information about export settings, see the Export article.

Yes.

Upload your MP4 file to DJ.Studio, then open the Video tab and select:

Background → Video → Track Video

DJ.Studio will use the video's visuals when exporting your mix.

Each track contains a required blue Video window.

These windows define which visuals are displayed while the track plays and therefore cannot be deleted or moved.

If you need additional visual changes, add yellow Video windows, which can be moved and removed freely.

No.

The required blue Video windows cannot be removed, so it is not possible to delete all video settings from a project.

Video export is available with the Ultimate license.

If you are using a Studio, Pro, or Pro + Stems license, you will need to upgrade to Ultimate to export video mixes.

The Shadertoy community discontinued the Shadertoy API, making it impossible to add custom Shadertoys through DJ.Studio.

You can continue using the built-in Shadertoy library that is included with DJ.Studio, but custom Shadertoys can no longer be added via URL.
