Where your files live

Application data

The app stores its config and database here:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/MusicVideoGenerator/
Windows: %APPDATA%\MusicVideoGenerator\

Inside you’ll find:

Path	Contents
`config.json`	Your app config (see Config reference)
`mvg.db`	SQLite database tracking every song and its renders
`input/`	MP3 files you’ve dropped in
`backgrounds/{stem}/`	Backgrounds for the current Create workspace, per song
`renders/{render_id}/`	One folder per finished render (see below)
`tmp/`	Working files (transcription cache, beat data)
`models/`	Downloaded LLM and transcription model files

Per-render output layout

Every render produces its own folder at renders/{render_id}/. The folder contains everything needed to play, upload, or re-examine that one render:

renders/{render_id}/
  yt_{stem}.mp4        # YouTube / 16:9 output (if enabled)
  tt_{stem}.mp4        # TikTok / 9:16 output (if enabled)
  ig_{stem}.mp4        # Instagram output (if enabled)
  thumbnail.jpg        # Generated thumbnail
  description.txt      # Auto-generated description
  backgrounds/         # Snapshot of the backgrounds used for this render

Because every render has its own folder, rendering the same song twice produces two independent folders. Deleting one render from the Library removes just that folder — other renders of the same song are unaffected.

Finding your videos

In Finder / Explorer:

macOS: Click Go → Go to Folder in Finder and paste ~/Library/Application Support/MusicVideoGenerator/renders/.

Windows: Open File Explorer and paste %APPDATA%\MusicVideoGenerator\renders\ into the address bar.

Or inside the app: right-click a render in the Library tab and choose Open folder — this opens that render’s specific folder.

Clearing files

Three levels of clearing are available, from most-targeted to most-destructive:

Library → Delete on a single card — removes just that one render’s folder and its database row. Other renders of the same song, source MP3s, and everything else are kept.
Library → Clear Completed — wipes every render you’ve marked as completed (folders + database rows) after a confirm dialog.
App menu → Clear Renders… — deletes every render folder plus renders/ and tmp/. Keeps source MP3s in input/, downloaded models, config, and auth tokens.
App menu → Clear All Data… — deletes the entire app data directory and relaunches the app.
