Question 1

Which file formats can I export?

Accepted Answer

From Beatflyer you can export 3 different type of assets: videos, animated GIFs, and images. Videos are exported as easy-to-share .mp4 files with a relatively high bitrate. Animated GIFs as highly optimized .gif and images as non-compressed .png files. The physical dimension in pixels (resolution) of the output will be the same of the project.

Question 2

How long can the videos be?

Accepted Answer

Maximum length is currently 90 seconds. We used to have a desktop app where you could create slighly longer videos but the main objective of Beatflyer is to create short and catchy clips for social media. To create a full-length music video for your song or DJ set, we recommend utilizing standard video editing software. This type of software is designed for longer videos and typically offers enhanced memory management.

Question 3

Can I create videos for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the only caveat is that the videos created for free will have a small watermark at the bottom right. If you subscribe to one of our plans, you will be able to use extra features like: access to all templates, the ability to save your projects and brand assets.

Question 4

Can I only make simple loopy animations?

Accepted Answer

No, while creating simple loops is extremely easy in Beatflyer, with a few extra clicks you can easily create more complex animations. Read how to use multiple frames and composition effects and the timeline.

Question 5

Is there a mobile app?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are actually 2. First of all, you need to know that Beatflyer, with some limitations, also works on your smartphone browser. If you are looking for a better, more native, experience you can indeed try the mobile apps. If you only need to share your recorded videos into other mobile apps, you can use Beatflyer Videos (iOS, Android). If you also want to create some flyers on the go, you can use the official Beatflyer Mobile app (only available for iOS).

Question 6

Is there a desktop app?

Accepted Answer

No, we used to have a desktop app until recently but it has now been discontinued. Modern web browsers, especially Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, provide now a better experience than what the app used to offer.

Question 7

Can I create videos for Spotify Canvas?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Beatflyer is a great option for creating Spotify Canvas videos because you can create loopy animations with powerful effects extremely easily. To make it even easier, we created a template you can use and customize in a few clicks.

Question 8

How easy it is to share the generated videos?

Accepted Answer

The format of the videos generated is the most portable (.mp4). This means the file can be easily uploaded on any platform. If you want to share it on an app that only exists for mobile, you can use our video sharing mobile app (iOS, Android).

Question 9

Can I animate my existing desings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Beatflyer was born as an animator tool before we introduced templates and creation features. Not only we have exporters for the most popular design tools (Photoshop, Sketch, and Figma) but we also have a Figma plugin that gives the full power of Beatflyer where you are creative the most.

Question 10

Can I remove the watermark?

Accepted Answer

Yes, to remove our small logo from the bottom-right of the generated content, you simply need to pay for one of our plans.

Question 11

Can I use video assets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in Beatflyer you can import videos and used them as graphic layers. Something to keep in mind is that you cannot have multiple videos in the same layer (like multiple-frames) and in the presence of videos the recording will happen in real-time. The faster your computer is, the more likely the animations will be smooth.

Question 12

Can I save my work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you subscribe to our monthly or yearly plan, you will be able to save and duplicate your projects. One of the benefits of saving projects is that when you open them on your phone you can quickly apply simple edits and export the video again, de-facto behaving like templates.

Question 13

Can I use my brand colors and fonts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, paying customers can save their brand colors so that they can be used like any other color theme we offer. Paying customers can also upload their own font files.
