Muvize v1.7 — Live Streaming, Cloud Storage & Studio Effects

After months of building and testing, v1.7 is here. This is a big one.

The headline is live streaming — something we have wanted to bring to Muvize for a long time, and it is now fully here. Alongside that, we redesigned how your cloud files are managed, added three new visualizers, introduced a motion-blur effect for the studio, and made a number of performance improvements that make the whole app feel noticeably snappier.

Here is everything that changed.

Live Streaming is Here

You can now stream your music and visuals live, directly from Muvize.

Connect to YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, or any custom RTMP destination. The setup takes two steps: first you pick your source and quality, then you add where you want to stream to. One stream can go to multiple platforms at once, each running independently so a dropped connection on one does not affect the others.

Stream modes give you flexibility in what you broadcast. Single file mode loops one track. Radio mode runs through a playlist. Composite mode lets you layer audio over an image or video background, which is useful if you want a clean branded stream without needing a full video file.

Quality tiers are straightforward: 480p, 720p, or 1080p. Credits are deducted based on quality and time streamed, and the stream stops automatically if your credits run out. You can see a live cost projection before you start so there are no surprises.

A few practical limits worth knowing: you can run up to 3 simultaneous streams. If you have a YouTube channel ID set, you get a live preview embed right inside your stream card so you can monitor the broadcast without switching tabs.

Cloud File Management

Files in your library now have a proper lifecycle.

When you delete something, it goes to trash first. You have 7 days to change your mind and restore it. After that, it is permanently removed and your storage quota is reclaimed. There is also a bulk action available if you want to clear out a lot at once.

The sidebar and account overview now show your storage and bandwidth usage in real time, with a color-coded warning that appears when you are approaching 80% capacity. These meters update whenever you make changes, so the numbers stay accurate without needing a page refresh.

New Visualizers

Three new visualizer types are available in the studio.

Blob renders an audio-reactive shape that breathes and shifts with the music. You can control how tall the wave gets, how many layers stack on top of each other, how much they separate, and how intense the glow is. There are also spectrum and envelope modes depending on whether you want it to react to frequency data or the overall volume shape.

Mandala draws a rotationally symmetric petal pattern that scales and pulses with the beat. The symmetry is what makes it satisfying to watch — everything moves in sync outward from the center.

Magic Rings generates expanding concentric arcs with a neon glow. Beat hits cause the rings to flare outward and settle, which pairs well with tracks that have a strong kick.

All three support full video export.

Blurry-Motion Effect

There is a new post-processing effect in the studio called Blurry-Motion.

It combines two layers: a Gaussian blur pass that softens the frame, and a pixel distortion pass that warps it slightly. Together they create a smeared, motion-blur aesthetic that works particularly well on slower, atmospheric tracks. Both layers render correctly in exported video, and the effect scales properly at higher export resolutions.

Presets, Now Saved to the Cloud

The old file-based preset system has been replaced with one backed by the database.

Your personal presets are private by default. If you want, you can opt in to share them — there is a checkbox in the save dialog. Admins can mark presets as official, and those show up with a badge so they are easy to spot. Access is controlled per-row, so there is no mixing of personal and public presets unless you choose it.

Performance and Infrastructure

The app is considerably lighter now. All static assets — sample sounds, animations, thumbnails — have been moved out of the app bundle and onto a CDN with long-term edge caching. That took about 23 MB out of what gets loaded when you first open Muvize.

Quota checks (the calls that fetch your storage and credit usage) used to fire independently from five or six different places in the app. They now go through a single shared context that caches the result for 60 seconds. Page navigation no longer hammers the API, and the UI stays consistent because every part of the app is reading from the same source.

A Few Other Fixes

Video files in the library now show actual frame thumbnails instead of a generic music note icon. The export pipeline no longer crashes when a non-image background type is used with opacity or blur settings. The cloud sync icon got a proper animated state instead of a plain spinner.

Muvize is Now Fully Muvize

The last traces of Hibuno have been replaced across the product — the about page, footer, schema metadata, and social links. You can find Muvize on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube at @muvizeofficial.
