Music visualiser overlay

A record turns inside a ring of bars that pulse to the beat, with a glowing ring, drifting sparks and the track name below.

Edit this in Mosso

Change anything, then export a GIF, an MP4 or a transparent video.

Try a look

Shown in a sample look. In Mosso it switches to your brand in one click.

Smooth motion. Confident and clear. Smooth moves with a gentle landing.

We read the colours and fonts from your home page. They stay in this browser.

The sample look, font and background are shared. Anyone with the link can read the text you include.

What it's good for

It is 1080 × 1080 pixels and 4 seconds long, and it is set to loop. Check the loop and contrast after editing. The background is transparent, so it sits on top of any page, photo or video.

The colours come from your brand kit. Change the timing in the editor. Type in the box above and the words change as you go.

  • An overlay for a music video or a stream
  • A teaser for a new track or a podcast episode
  • A now playing screen for a radio show or a party
  • Video edits in Premiere Pro, Final Cut or DaVinci Resolve
  • Live streams in OBS

How to use it on a website

  1. Pick your brand and words above, then download the dotLottie file.
  2. Add it to your site's files, for example as /animations/music-visualiser.lottie.
  3. Paste the code where the animation should play.

Without code

  • Webflow: upload the Lottie JSON file in the Assets panel, then drag it onto your page.
  • Framer: add a Lottie component and give it the JSON file.
  • WordPress: use a Lottie block plugin and upload the JSON file.

Need it as a GIF or a video? Download the Lottie JSON and use the free Lottie to GIF or Lottie to MP4 converter, or check any file in the Lottie viewer.

For the steps in Mosso, read Export transparent WebM.

Use it in code

Download the file, then copy the code for your platform. It loops, and it holds a still frame for people who ask for less motion.

  1. Put music-visualiser.lottie in your site's animations folder, so it loads from /animations/music-visualiser.lottie.
  2. Paste this where it should play.
index.html
<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@lottiefiles/dotlottie-wc@0.10.0/dist/dotlottie-wc.js"></script>

<dotlottie-wc src="/animations/music-visualiser.lottie" autoplay loop data-still="0.008"
  aria-hidden="true"
  style="display: block; width: 100%; aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; pointer-events: none"></dotlottie-wc>

<script>
  // People who ask for less motion see a still frame: data-still is how far in, from 0 to 1.
  if (matchMedia('(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)').matches) {
    const players = document.querySelectorAll('dotlottie-wc');
    players.forEach((el) => el.removeAttribute('autoplay'));
    customElements.whenDefined('dotlottie-wc').then(() => players.forEach((el) => {
      const player = el.dotLottie;
      if (!player || !el.dataset.still) return;
      const show = () => player.setFrame(Math.round(Number(el.dataset.still) * (player.totalFrames - 1)));
      if (player.isLoaded) show();
      else player.addEventListener('load', show);
    }));
  }
</script>

Lottie in HTML: setup and common problems

Good to know

  • Export with transparency

    For video editors, export WebM with a transparent background or PNG frames from Mosso. MP4 can't keep transparency.

  • Match your frame rate

    Export at the same frame rate as your video, usually 30 or 60 frames per second, so the motion stays smooth.

  • Keep titles readable

    Snow and confetti are busy. Keep them light behind text, or bring them to the front only for a moment.

  • Respect reduced motion

    Some people ask their device for less motion. Check prefers-reduced-motion and show a still frame for them instead.

Questions

Is this music visualiser animation free?

Yes. A free account lets you download up to 50 library animations a day. You may edit these animations and use them in personal and commercial work, including client projects. Third party parts keep their own licences. Keep the supplied notices and credits when you share them. Mosso does not require a credit for its own work. The restriction on reselling Mosso templates does not limit rights granted by third party licences.

Can I change the colours and the words?

Yes. Pick a sample look above to see how it changes, and type your own words in the box. Open the Mosso project to edit its layers, timing and effect settings, and add your logo. Imported files may have fewer editable parts.

Should I download Lottie JSON or dotLottie?

dotLottie is the same animation in a zipped file, so it is smaller: this one is about 19 KB instead of 156 KB. Use it with the dotLottie players for the web, React, iOS and Android. Pick Lottie JSON when a tool asks for a .json file, like Webflow or lottie-web.

Can I get it as a GIF or a video?

Yes. Open it in Mosso and export a GIF, an MP4, a WebM video with a transparent background or PNG frames, all from the same project.

How do I put it over my video?

Open it in Mosso, export WebM with a transparent background, then place it on the track above your footage in your video editor.

Make it yours in Mosso

Change the words, colours, timing and size, add your logo, and export Lottie, GIF, MP4 or transparent video. Or start from a blank canvas and make something new.
