About this template

Music visualizer template dressed as a retro game HUD, in a 5:4 frame that suits old monitors and feed posts alike. Five arcade clips cut hard over fifteen seconds: a joystick, a handheld brick game, hands on an arcade panel, a cabinet screen and a pinball table, under a navy overlay with HUD bands top and bottom. Pixel Run and the EP are fictional.

The corners work like a game: "1UP", a score that climbs with every cut, three pink lives and a hi-score. The title sits in pixel type with a pink shadow over a "chiptune EP, out now" line. A blocky green LED spectrum with peak hold reacts to the track, a yellow coin pumps with the kick, a pink star twitches with the highs. An XP bar fills across the frame instead of a progress bar, a stage caption changes per cut from "stage 1-1 start" to "stage clear!", and a blinking "press start, stream now" is the call to action. Press Start 2P and Space Mono complete the look.

Load your own track and the coin, star and spectrum follow it. Rename the title, EP and stages, swap the clips and post it on release day.
