DeadMod Studio

Free music video maker for musicians

DeadMod Studio helps independent musicians turn a finished song into a lyric video, visualizer, cover-art video, or animated release visual. Upload one MP3, build the frame, and render it in your browser.

It is free today and built for the useful work around a release: giving the song a visual home without pretending every track needs a film set.

Release work

What can musicians make with DeadMod?

Official lyric video

Give listeners the words with timing you can correct and typography you can art-direct.

Full-song visualizer

Let audio-reactive motion carry the track when a narrative video is out of scope.

Cover-art video

Turn a strong cover into a publishable frame with titles, motion, and a restrained graphic response.

Release cut

Reframe the work vertically or square for a short announcement, teaser, or social post.

Turn one song into multiple release videos

A music video maker should not force every release into the same genre of template. A dense lyric song may need clean text and little else. An instrumental may need a waveform and a slow-moving background. A great cover may only need room, scale, and one pulse on the downbeat.

DeadMod keeps these choices in one editor. The advantage is not infinite options. It is being able to reuse the song, art direction, and timing while making a version that fits where people will see it.

The workflow

How to make a release video in three steps

  1. 01

    Start with the record

    Upload the final MP3 and decide what this video has to do: teach the lyric, carry the cover, announce the release, or keep the screen moving.

  2. 02

    Direct the frame

    Choose a format, add art and type, then use timed lyrics, a visualizer, or a motion background only where the song benefits.

  3. 03

    Render for the destination

    Preview the final composition and export a horizontal, vertical, or square video from the browser.

Formats

Make videos for YouTube, vertical feeds, and square posts

The Studio includes 1920 by 1080, 1080 by 1920, and 1080 by 1080 frames. Pick the destination before you settle the composition. Reframing at the end can turn deliberate spacing into a pile of type, art, and reactive graphics.

Horizontal gives lyrics and wide art room to breathe. Vertical puts pressure on every element, which is useful when you want one bold image and a short lyric passage. Square is a compact middle ground for album art and radial visualizers.

Choosing the form

Choose a lyric video, visualizer, or cover-art video

Use lyrics when language is the hook

If fans will quote the line, make the line easy to hear and read.

Use a visualizer when sound is the event

Instrumentals, edits, mixes, and atmosphere can be better served by motion than text.

Use the cover when the identity is already strong

Do not bury good artwork under effects. Give it scale and add only enough motion to hold attention.

Ownership and privacy

How DeadMod handles ownership and raw media

You retain ownership of the music, artwork, and videos you make. DeadMod does not claim rights to the media you bring into the Studio. You remain responsible for having permission to use it.

Raw media and rendered output stay in browser storage. When you request lyric transcription, audio is processed transiently through the configured provider. That distinction is worth stating plainly because privacy claims should describe the actual workflow, not a slogan.

Local rendering also means the device does the work. A longer song, higher resolution, and more complex effects can take more time and memory. Preview the composition first, keep the browser open during export, and use a current browser on the strongest device available when the final render matters.

Keep the original MP3 and artwork outside the browser as your source files. The Studio is a working space, not the archive for a release campaign.
