Video styles

Each brand has a video style that determines how its videos look and move. The style sits behind both the prompt template (what scenes are described to the image model) and the per-style effects engine (how the rendered video moves, pulses, and flashes on beat).

The five available styles

Cinematic

Filmic, narrative-driven, photoreal. Subtle Ken Burns motion, gentle film grain, occasional brightness flashes on the heaviest bass hits, slow 1-second crossfades. Best for songs with a story to tell.

  • Default prompt model: Qwen 2.5 14B
  • Default background generator: RealVisXL V5
  • Effects feel: restrained, narrative, polished

Kinetic

Motion-graphic, layered, fast cuts. Aggressive Ken Burns, heavy grain (15%) and light leaks, frequent beat-sync brightness flashes (top 40 onsets), zoom bumps on every kick (top 30). Fast 0.2-second crossfades. Best for high-energy, layered tracks.

  • Default prompt model: Qwen 2.5 14B
  • Default background generator: SDXL-Lightning
  • Effects feel: punchy, layered, rhythm-driven

Illustrated

Drawn / illustration aesthetic. Minimal motion (1.0→1.02 zoom), no grain or flashes (they clash with hand-drawn imagery), gentle 0.8-second crossfades. The calmest style — designed so illustrated frames look like still drawings that breathe.

  • Default prompt model: Qwen 2.5 14B
  • Default background generator: Pollinations.ai
  • Effects feel: still, calm, hand-rendered

Visualizer

Abstract forms, no figures. Aggressive Ken Burns (1.0→1.25), heavy beat-sync (top 50 brightness flashes, top 30 zoom bumps), no grain or dust (abstract images already have texture), light leaks for depth. Fast 0.3-second rhythmic crossfades. Best for instrumental or abstract tracks.

  • Default prompt model: Qwen 2.5 7B
  • Default background generator: RealVisXL V5
  • Effects feel: maximum motion, audio-reactive, abstract

Picking a style

You set the style on the brand, in Settings → Brand → Video style. The choice applies to every render of that brand. To use a different style for a one-off song, the simplest path is to duplicate the brand, switch its style, and render against the new brand.

Switching a brand’s style mid-flight is supported but if your brand’s saved background-generator default isn’t supported by the new style, you’ll see a confirm prompt offering to switch generators.

How effects work

Each style declares an effects profile — a set of fixed intensity values for every effect (Ken Burns, beat-sync flashes, grain overlay, light leaks, brightness pulse, beat zoom bumps, dust overlay, chorus pulse). Profiles are not tunable in v1 — each style picks the values that match its identity, and you switch styles to change the look.

Cinematic, Kinetic, and Visualizer all show meaningfully different motion + grain + beat-sync behavior at render time. Illustrated stays deliberately calm — most effects are off so illustrated frames look like still drawings that breathe.

Effects swing during emphasized lyrics

Each style’s effects intensity automatically swings around its baseline at render time — pulling back during emphasized lyric moments and cranking above baseline between them. See Emphasis detection for the full breakdown.

The style profile values listed above describe the average intensity across a song. Actual rendered intensity at any given moment is baseline × envelope_multiplier(t), where the multiplier swings between the style’s calm_mult (during emphasis) and crazy_mult (between emphasis).
