AI Music Video Generator

FAQ

Does it work offline?

Partially. Rendering requires internet access for AI backgrounds and lyric timing. Once a video is rendered, playback and upload work without internet (though uploads need internet to complete).

Can I use my own backgrounds instead of AI-generated ones?

Yes. In the Backgrounds tab, click any background image and choose Upload your own.

No. The app only accepts MP3 files. Use a tool like yt-dlp to download audio separately if you need to.

Can I make videos without lyrics?

Yes. If your MP3 doesn’t have embedded lyrics, the app renders the video without subtitles — just the backgrounds and visualizer.

Can I embed lyrics in my MP3?

Yes. Use a tagger like Kid3, MusicBrainz Picard, or this FFmpeg command:

Terminal window
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -metadata lyrics-eng="$(cat lyrics.txt)" -codec copy output.mp3

Can I use a song I don’t own?

Only if you have the rights (license or permission from the rights holder). Uploading copyrighted music you don’t own is against YouTube and TikTok terms.

Can I upload to Instagram?

Yes — the app publishes vertical Reels (1080×1920) to an Instagram Business or Creator account linked to a Facebook Page. Personal Instagram accounts aren’t supported by Meta’s Graph API. See Instagram setup and Connecting Instagram.

What’s the difference between the TikTok and Instagram clips?

They’re rendered separately but from the same source. TikTok clips default to 30 seconds, Instagram Reels to 60, and both are 9:16 vertical with an end card that points viewers to the full YouTube version. Caption templates and disable-duet/stitch-style flags differ per platform — configure each in Settings.

How long does a render take?

Typically 2–5 minutes per song on a modern machine. First-time renders take longer because models need to load.

Can I queue up 50 songs at once?

Yes. They’ll render one at a time. Just drop them all into the Create tab.

Where are my finished videos?

Each render has its own folder at renders/{render_id}/ inside the app data directory. See Where your files live for the full path and per-render layout.

Can I render the same song more than once?

Yes. Every time you click Generate from Create you get a new, independent render — its own Library card, its own folder on disk, its own upload status. You can render the same MP3 with different backgrounds, different disabled acts, or different settings and keep them all side-by-side until you decide which ones to keep. Deleting one render doesn’t affect any other render of that song.

How do I wipe everything and start over?

Two app-menu actions cover this:

  • Clear Renders… removes every render and the renders/ and tmp/ folders, but keeps your source MP3s, models, config, and auth tokens.
  • Clear All Data… deletes the entire app data directory and relaunches the app as if freshly installed.

Both ask for confirmation first.

Can I change the visualizer colors?

The visualizer auto-samples the dominant color of each song’s background. You can’t override it directly yet — this is a planned feature.

Is there a mobile version?

No. Desktop only (macOS and Windows).

How do I update the app?

The app checks for updates on launch and prompts you to install new versions. You can also download the latest from the Releases page.
