Type a song title and artist, set the track length and where it starts, and download a now playing card with a real moving progress bar as a 1080p MP4. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.
How it works
Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.
1
Card is the full player with buttons and times, Pill is a compact bar with a progress ring, and Vinyl is a card whose record slides out and turns.
2
Type the song title and the artist, set the track length, where in the song playback starts and how long the clip plays, from 2 to 60 seconds.
3
Choose the cover's colors and whether it shows a music note or initials, the progress color and one of six looks. Then place it top, middle or bottom, left, center or right, at 70 to 130% size.
4
Press Download. The video is rendered in your browser at 1080p and saved to your device, usually in a few seconds. No account, no watermark.

When a music player overlay isn’t enough
Here you get a generic player on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you want — “when I say the song's name, slide in a now playing card in our brand colors with our logo on the cover” — and it's designed from scratch on your own video, timed to the exact word you say. Attach your logo or a screenshot of your style and it matches them, then ask for any change in the chat.

The basics
A music player overlay is a small “now playing” graphic laid over a video, showing a song's title, artist and cover with a progress bar moving along as if the track were playing in an app. Editors use it to name the song in a vlog, set the mood of an edit, or announce a track in a music video or a playlist.
This maker draws one in three styles. Card is the full player: cover, title, artist, a progress bar with the time played and the time left, and skip and pause buttons. Pill is a compact bar with the progress as a ring round the cover. Vinyl is the card with a record that slides out of its sleeve and turns at 33⅓ rpm. The card opens out of its cover, the play button is pressed, and from then on everything runs in real time.
Set the track length and the point it starts from so the times look right: a 3:24 song starting at 35% reads 1:11 and counts on from there. The cover is drawn for you, a color gradient with a music note or the artist's initials, so there's nothing to upload.
In your editor
An MP4 has no transparent background, so the music player overlay comes ready to key. Set the background to green and remove it with chroma key.
Download the music player overlay on a green background. In CapCut, drag it onto the track above your video so it sits on top as an overlay. Select it, open Video → Remove BG → Chroma key, pick the green with the color picker and raise Strength until the background is gone. Menu names move a little between CapCut versions; look for Chroma key.
Put the music player overlay on a video track above your footage. From the Effects panel, drag Ultra Key onto it and click the Key Color eyedropper on the green.
Place the music player overlay on the track above your footage. On the Edit page, open Effects → Open FX, find 3D Keyer under Resolve FX Key and drag it onto the clip, then sample the green in the viewer with the Open FX overlay switched on.
Connect the music player overlay above your footage in the timeline. From the Effects browser, drag the Keyer effect onto it; it finds and removes the green by itself.
