MikuVideo
The modern video tool for MikuMikuDance users.
MMD renders video as AVI files — huge, uncompressed, and not directly uploadable to YouTube. MikuVideo bridges that gap: convert, sync audio, and inspect your render frame by frame, all in one place.
Features
Convert AVI to MP4 - Why this is useful
- MMD outputs AVI/UtVideo or AVI/raw files. MikuVideo converts them to MP4 — dramatically smaller files, ready to upload to YouTube or share anywhere.
- You can send any video format to YouTube — they have the best converter in the world. But large files mean large upload times and high data consumption, especially on a mobile data plan.
| Quality | 30 seconds |
|---|---|
| 4K AVI / Raw | 4000 MB (4 GB) |
| 4K AVI / UtVideo | 400 MB |
| 4K MP4 | 40 MB |
Audio sync
Add a WAV or MP4 audio track to your video, with a frame-offset control to align the music perfectly with your animation.
Frame-by-frame inspection
Review your render frame by frame with zoom up to 2000% (4000% for 4K content). Catch clipping, z-fighting, or rigging issues before publishing. Frame position is compatible with MMD frame.
Playback modes
- Slow motion — 4 fps for detailed review
- Fast playback — 60 fps for quick scrubbing
- Frame display — shows MMD frame numbers (@30Fps) and H:M:S timecode side by side
Audio extraction
Export the audio track of any video as a WAV file at 44,100 Hz — the format MMD accepts for background music.
Export to AVI/MMD
Convert any video format to AVI format for use as a background video or on virtual screens inside MMD.
