Real-Time Workflow
How Do You Create Live Visuals With Our AI?
Generate a live visual performance in three steps. Our AI handles the technical work, turning your audio into a reactive visual show you can control and download.
01
Play Your Music
Start by playing your audio track. Freebeat's AI listens to your music in real time, analyzing its structure, beat, and energy to prepare for visual generation. No pre-analysis or rendering queue is required.
02
Choose a Mode and Style
Select one of three live modes: POV, Dramatic, or Ambient. Then, pick a look from our visual style library or define a custom style with a text prompt. You can change styles on the fly during your performance.
03
Generate Live and Export
Watch as the visuals generate live, reacting to your music with only 3-5 seconds of latency. Steer the scene with live prompts to change the mood or action. When your set is done, download the entire performance as a high-quality MP4 video.
Live Visual Engine
What Makes Our VJ Software Different?
Our real-time engine generates visuals as your music plays, unlike traditional VJ software that mixes pre-made clips. It’s a generative tool for live performance, not a video editor.

- Ambient: Moody, atmospheric visuals

MUSIC ANALYSIS

- Analyzes 8 musical dimensions
- Synchronizes to beat grid and BPM
- Visuals map to song energy
- Colors reflect spectral content
FLEXIBLE OUTPUT
