How do I make a music visualizer for TikTok?

Last updated: August 24, 2026

Create a Cascade campaign with your beat and visuals, optionally upload a TikTok you saved (MP4 or MOV) as the video style, export a vertical MP4, and upload it in TikTok. Cascade matches the reference file you upload. It does not post to TikTok on your behalf.

Video style from TikTok

If you show Cascade a TikTok, it uses that clip as a pacing and layout reference — with your beat and your footage. That is matching, not copying someone else’s audio or claiming their edit as a template pack.

What you still do in TikTok

  • Caption, sounds, and posting time live in TikTok.
  • Commercial music on TikTok follows TikTok’s rules; you are responsible for the audio you upload there.
  • Cascade’s job ends at the MP4. Post that file in TikTok yourself.

Cascade matches pacing and layout to that style using your assets, then you preview and export an MP4. No footage? Open Portraits, upload the beat, pick a look, and export.
