AI Music Video Generator

First launch

There’s no setup wizard to click through. The first launch is mostly a passive experience: enter your license key, watch a splash while the app prepares itself, and then take a short in-app tour.

1. Activate with your license key

The very first screen you see asks for a license key. Paste the key from your purchase email and click Activate.

You only do this once per machine. The key is stored locally so you won’t be asked again unless you wipe the app data.

2. Watch the splash

Next you’ll see a splash screen with the app logo, a status line, and a progress bar. No buttons — nothing for you to click. The status line cycles through whatever the app is doing:

  • Connecting to server… / Waiting for server to start… — the bundled backend is spinning up.
  • Checking video renderer… — if it’s not installed yet, the splash automatically downloads it (~300 MB, one-time).
  • Checking AI model… — if the local prompt model is missing, the splash downloads it (~2 GB, one-time — this is the longest step on first launch).
  • Finalising startup… — last-mile setup before the main window opens.

Typical total time:

  • Already-warm relaunch: 1–3 seconds.
  • Fresh first launch: a few minutes, mostly spent on the model download. A stable internet connection helps.

If something goes wrong during the downloads, the status will hold on Still waiting for server… — see App won’t start.

3. The welcome tour

The first time the main window opens, a four-step overlay appears:

  1. Drop a song to begin.
  2. Set up your backgrounds.
  3. Customize the look.
  4. Watch and share.

Click Next to flip through, or Skip to dismiss it. You can reopen the tour any time from the Help menu.

4. You’re in

Once the tour is closed, you’re on the Create tab and the app is ready. Nothing else needs configuring — but you’ll get more out of the app if you do two things next:

  1. Set up your brand — channel name, logo, and voice. These show up on every video you render.
  2. Connect your accounts (optional) — YouTube, TikTok, and/or Instagram, so you can upload from the Library without leaving the app.

Then you can make your first video.

Re-running the downloads

The renderer and AI prompt model only download once, on the first launch that needs them. If a download fails or you later clear the app data, the same splash appears on the next launch and picks up where it left off.
