Make falling-notes piano videos from sheet music
Every video on the Piano: Soloist channel is made with this site. Load a score, choose a view and theme, and record or render it — the render mode steps frame by frame, so even a slow laptop produces a smooth video.
What you get
- Render without dropped frames
- Render mode draws one frame at a time with pre-rendered audio, so the result is smooth on any PC.
- Landscape or vertical
- 16:9 for YouTube, or vertical 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.
- Render just a section
- Pick a bar range to make a short highlight clip.
- Looks
- Themes such as Space, Classic, Christmas and Neon, in 2D, 2.5D or 3D, with your own background image.
How to use it
- Load a score (MusicXML, MIDI or PDF), or pick one of 400+ pieces.
- Choose the view (2D, 2.5D or 3D), a theme and, if you like, your own background photo.
- Open Record → Render and pick landscape 16:9 or vertical 9:16, the bars, the size and the frame rate.
- Start the render and keep the tab in view; progress shows in the tab title.
- Save the MP4 and upload it to YouTube, Shorts, Reels or TikTok.

FAQ
- What resolution can I export?
- Basic: 720p (with a small watermark); Pro adds 1080p and higher, 60fps and no watermark.
- Which browser should I use?
- Chrome or Edge on a computer.
- How long does a render take?
- Longer than the piece itself — a few times longer on some PCs — because every frame is drawn one by one. Switching tabs pauses it until you come back.
- Can I render in 3D?
- 2D and 2.5D renders are open to everyone; 3D rendering is part of Pro.
- Is it free?
- Partly free. 720p videos in 2D and 2.5D are free; see "Basic vs Pro" above for every difference.
