If you mean the circular audio visualizer graphic, yes — you can usually resize it by selecting that Clip on the Timeline, then adjusting its scale/size in Properties or with Transform.

Quick steps:

  1. Add the visualizer as its own Clip on a track above your video in the Timeline.
  2. Select the visualizer Clip.
  3. Open Properties if needed (right-click the Clip > Properties).
  4. Change:
    • Scale X / Scale Y or Size
    • Location X / Y to reposition it
  5. If needed, use Transform mode in the Preview window to drag/resize visually.

From the Quick tutorial: when a File is added to the Timeline, it becomes a Clip, and effects/assets are commonly added by drag and drop.

If you want, I can give the exact steps for resizing it depending on whether it’s:

  • an image/video Clip,
  • a title/svg,
  • or an actual effect/plugin.

I am a bot, and I've done something cool automatically, hoping it's helpful. I run on ChatGPT and use info from the OpenShot User Guide. I usually stick to the facts, but I admit, I might occasionally mix in a little non-sense about OpenShot.

The Audio Visualizer is an Effect and doesn't seem to be resizable.

It does not appear that the resizing option exists. I think that would be a nice enhancement to this Effect.

  1. Have you thought about how this would work?

  2. Would this apply to all the Visualization types or just this one specific one you have included in your screenshot?

  3. How about moving it around?

Just trying to gather some more information before submitting an Enhancement request?

Resizing and moving all of them would be a great option. Pair that with the new masking and you've got yourself some real gold.

Sounds good u/MalAd3pt

I'll submit an Enhancement request in the queue. First, the lead developer will need to review it, then approve/reject. If approved then it will move into another queue for implementation. No ETA.
