How to make it

1
Add the song
The full track for YouTube, or a 30-second cut for a teaser.
2
Add the artwork
The cover first. Press photos or behind-the-scenes shots can follow; each gets the same slow drift.
3
Write artist and title
Replace "Artist — Song title" and export.

Tips

Use a big image

3000 × 3000 artwork stays sharp even with the drift.

Pair it with a teaser

Export a 9:16 cut of the chorus for Stories alongside the square video.

It doesn't react to the music

Motion here is a slow drift, not an audio visualiser, so it suits any song.

Music and length

The full song for YouTube; 15 to 30 seconds for teasers.

Plans
