My Question or Issue

I saw that Spotify has a new feature on some songs called a Canvas that lets songs have little animations on them instead of cover art. I was wondering: does anyone have any ideas on how to get one on a local file?

Hey @Luigi2262

Unfortunately Canvas videos are only available on songs where the artist has uploaded a video for it. Adding a video animation to local files is not supported.
