Make a type beat video for YouTube with a CD visualizer
A beat is an audio file, so a type beat upload usually pairs the audio with a visual. BMoney Visual Maker is a free type beat visualizer that puts your beat and cover art on a spinning CD and exports an MP4 you can upload like any other video.
Settings for a YouTube upload
- Format: choose MP4 so your beat is included as audio.
- Size: 1920×1080 YouTube centres the square visual with plain black sides. 1080×1080 keeps it square, and 720×720 renders faster on older computers.
- Length: start with the 5-second quick test to check the look, then export the whole beat.
- Loop fit: keep “Fit whole rotations” on if you want the disc to finish a full turn when the video ends.
Put your beat title on the CD
The Iridescent Blue design has a sticker you can type on. Add a beat title, your producer name or a short message in the Sticker text box. The text stays still while the disc spins and looks the same in the preview and in MP4 and GIF exports.
Artwork tips
Use square cover art if you can. Zoom and position it under Advanced settings so the important part of the image is not hidden by the hub in the middle. Animated GIF artwork works too, and a short silent GIF loop is handy for a quick social post.
Things to know before you export
- Exports run in your browser. Keep the tab open until the file is ready.
- MP4 export needs a browser that can encode video itself, such as recent desktop Chrome or Edge. The page checks this and tells you before you start.
- Files at the 1080 sizes are large: roughly 1 MB per second of video, so a three-minute beat is about 200 MB. The 720 size is smaller.
- Exports carry a small “bmoney visual maker” watermark in the top-right corner.
- GIF exports have no audio.
