Long videos take a while to create and need plenty of memory, so use a computer and keep this tab open.
This is the simplest of the four tools: your picture, cropped to a circle and turning, with a background and music if you want them. Because it doesn't need to look like a record or a tape, it works for more than music releases, from DJ mix uploads to podcast and radio show promos. Turn on the visualiser to get bars moving around the circle in time with your track.
Drag and drop your cover art, a logo or any picture, then zoom and move it so the right part sits in the circle.
Set the speed and direction, the size and position of the circle and the background, and add a track title, artist name or logo.
Trim your track on the waveform, then create an MP4 or MOV video right in your browser.
