Hi everyone, creator of Astrofox here. This has been a side project of mine for several years now and I've just shipped it. Astrofox is a motion graphics app that lets you create custom music visualizations that you can then save to video. It's similar to Adobe After Effects except everything is done in real-time and is focused primarily on music visualization. Some of the tech used is React, Redux, Three.js, WebGL, GLSL, and Electron. Let me know your thoughts. I hope you find it useful.

This is pretty cool. As mentioned by another poster, adding video clips would be useful. I currently use a bunch of iOS tools for doing this kind of thing, GlitchClip might be a good reference for some useful effects.

I've found a couple of bugs: Every time I import a audio file, either 16 bit wav or 320kbps mp3, it tells me the audio file is invalid. The app still works though. However, when I try to output the video a) I can't set either the start or the end time, and b) I'm not quite sure why there's an audio file select step in the save video dialog, but I also get the audio file invalid message there too. Either one or both of these things means I can't actually export the video.

This app is _really_ promising though, thanks. Very much looking forward to where you take it.
