We are testing a new experimental feature on our website: by clicking “create video” button next to a song in our player you can make a short video to the song using your phone.
Our visual effects will make your video more interesting. No AI used so safe for all platforms.
For now we are testing on a single album, try it here:
https://halotan.net/music/va-halotan-records-sampler-10-compilation/
Our tool is tested to work on Safari (iPhone/iOS) and Chrome (Android). Other browsers may work but are not tested now as the above cover most of the use cases.
It is work in progress, expect things not to work smoothly. Do let us know if you encounter problems, this way we can fix the tool.
How to use?
Go here and Click “Create Video” button next to song you like.
Then select a clip. Clips are 10-30s long and are looping. They are preselected bits of the song that are suitable for tiktoks, reels, shorts etc.
Select effect you like and record your video on your phone. Once you hit record, you will see countdown (3, 2, 1) and recording will begin together with music.
After recording stops (it stops automatically when the clip is finished playing) you will see you recorded video.
If happy, click “upload”. If not, click “retake” and record again.
Nothing gets uploaded to our server until you hit “upload”.
After you hit “upload “we’ll do the rest – apply effect, replace audio with high quality version.
You will get a file to upload to the platform of your choice – and a preview video to watch.
Please be patient while processing – these effects are extremely heavy computationally. Usually the effects takes less than 10 minutes to calculate from the moment you hit “Upload”.
Standard 15 seconds tiktok should be done in 5 minutes.
Why should you use it?
The tool was created because there is no good templates for goth, cybergoth or industrial video creators on tiktok. The creators use available templates that are not ideal for our music genre.
Some attempt professional tools with varying luck as the learning curve is very steep on these.
Capcut – an excellent and most used tool – is a closed ecosystem. Thus templates must cater to wide audience.
But we are a niche. And Halotan Records wants to serve this niche while helping to spread the word about the music we promote.
Our video effects/templates are custom made for industrial, gothic, cybergoth, industrial dancing and similar things. The effects are grungy, distorted, full of glitches.
Te effects are extreme, intentionally gritty and damaged. They are meant to make you stand out.
Our effects are well thought out and are meant to be used with a footage coming out of your phone, recorded in an ordinary environment, without professional lighting.
They are aimed at adding all what your phone video is missing: depth, layers, contrast, interest.
You see it is easy to make professional footage look good and interesting, because it already is.
We try to add a bit of cybergoth/industrial magic to videos that are made by fans, not by professional filmmakers.
Have fun, if you encounter any problem please do email us or drop us a DM on any of the platforms we are on.
