What is the VIZ file format?
A .viz file is a visualizer template for Avee Music Player, an Android and Windows app made by Daaw Aww that turns audio into animated visualizer videos. Each template stores one complete look: layered effects, spectrum and waveform elements, theme colors, text, and background images or animated .gif files, along with the animation and audio-reaction settings that make the visuals move with the beat.
Loading a .viz file instantly restyles the visualizer, so creators can apply a polished design without building it element by element. Because templates are easy to share, large community libraries have grown up around the format, and DJ, phonk, and music-video creators use them for content on YouTube and TikTok. Templates are often distributed inside a .zip archive that packs several .viz files together to keep downloads small.
Security & safety
RISK: MEDIUMA .viz file is a template loaded by Avee Player and is not an executable, so it cannot run on its own. The practical risk comes from sourcing: templates are downloaded from countless third-party sites and Telegram channels, often inside .zip archives that may also carry unrelated files or misleading download buttons. Get templates from reputable community sites, scan downloads, and only open .viz files with the official Avee Player app.

Hier ist der Aufbau für einen klassischen, bass-reaktiven Circle-Visualizer (im Trap-Nation-/EDM-Stil), den du direkt in Avee Player Schritt für Schritt anlegen kannst:
Ebenen-Struktur (Layer-Aufbau)
Tippe im Visualizer-Editor oben auf das Stift-Symbol, lösche ggf. bestehende Elemente und füge über das + (Add Element) folgende Ebenen von unten nach oben hinzu:
1. Background (Hintergrundbild)
Element: Image
General: Visible: On
Image: Wähle dein Hintergrundbild unter Custom Image.
Color: Setze die Helligkeit bei Bedarf etwas herunter (z. B. dunkles Grau), damit das Spektrum besser zur Geltung kommt.
Beat / Scale: Unter Measure auf Beat stellen, Betrag auf ca. 0.05 setzen, damit der Hintergrund dezent zum Bass mitvibriert.
2. Particles (Aufsteigende Lichtpartikel)
Element: Particles
Shape: Circle oder Point
Color: Weiß oder passend zu deinem Farbkonzept, Transparenz auf etwa 50%.
Behavior:
Speed: 0.2 bis 0.4
Direction: Up (-90°)
Life span: ca. 4.0 Sekunden
Audio Reaction: Spawn rate leicht an Bassfrequenzen koppeln.
3. Bars (Kreis-Spektrum)
Element: Bars
Shape:
Von Line auf Circle umstellen.
Radius: Passend um dein Center-Cover skalieren (z. B. 0.25 bis 0.35).
Bars Setup:
Bar Count: 80 bis 120 Balken.
Scale / Height: Max-Höhe auf ca. 0.4 einstellen.
Audio Provider:
Frequencies: Tiefe bis mittlere Frequenzen priorisieren (Bassbereich).
Smoothness: Auf ca. 0.15 stellen, damit die Balken knackig reagieren und nicht verzögert nachziehen.
4. Center Logo / Cover (Zentrales Bild)
Element: Image
Image: Wähle dein Logo oder Track-Cover.
Scale: So anpassen, dass das Bild exakt innerhalb des Kreisspektrums liegt.
Shape / Mask: Kreis-Maskierung aktivieren (Circle), falls dein Bild quadratisch ist.
Effect / Beat:
Scale Beat: Multiplikator auf 1.08 bis 1.12 für einen spürbaren Pump-Effekt bei jedem Kick/Drop.
5. Text (Artist & Titel)
Element: Text
Position: Zentral unterhalb des Spektrums platzieren.
Content: Nutze die Variablen $(artist) und

Frequently asked questions
How do I open a .viz file?
Install Avee Music Player on Android (or the Windows build), then tap the
.viz file in your file manager and choose to open it with Avee, or import it from the visualizer template menu inside the app.Why won't my .viz file open?
Two common reasons: the file is still inside a
.zip archive and needs extracting first, or it was made in an app version outside the supported range. Avee documents compatibility from version 1.2.83 onward, so update the app and unzip the template before loading it.Can I open a .viz file on a PC?
Yes. Use the Windows build of Avee Player from the developer's site, or run the Android app inside an emulator such as BlueStacks to load the template on a computer.
How do I turn a .viz template into a video?
Open the template in Avee Player, add your audio track, adjust colors and elements, then use the export function to render an MP4 up to 4K resolution.
Are .viz files safe to download?
The template itself is not executable, but templates come from many third-party sites and chat channels. Download only from trusted sources, scan the file, and open it only with the official Avee Player app.
Can I create my own .viz template?
Yes. Avee Player lets you build a visualizer from scratch, add images or animated GIFs and text, then save and share it as a
.viz file.References
