AI Music Video Generator

First launch

The first launch walks you through activating your license, downloading assets in the background, and configuring your workspace with an interactive setup wizard.

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. Asset downloads with setup wizard

After activation, the app launches the setup wizard immediately and starts two downloads in the background:

  • Rendering engine — ffmpeg + ffprobe (~100 MB, fast).
  • Base model — the AI model used for lyric-timing and analysis (~2 GB — this is the longest step).

Both downloads run in parallel. You’ll see small progress bars stacked in the bottom-left corner of the window for each one — they only stay visible while that download is active, and disappear once it finishes.

While assets download, you can work through the setup wizard at your own pace and start exploring the app. The wizard walks you through:

Brand identity

Enter your channel name and logo. These show up on every video you render.

Lyrics

Choose whether to opt in to the on-device AI lyric generator, and describe your sound (so the lyrics model learns your style).

Output formats

Select which platforms you publish to: YouTube, TikTok, and/or Instagram. You can change this later.

Platform connections

Sign in to whichever platforms you enabled. This lets you upload directly from the Library without leaving the app. You can skip this and set it up later from Settings.

Showcase

Share your channels so other users can discover your music on the Showcase page. Optional.

Every step has a Skip button. If you don’t want to finish the wizard, click the Setup later link in the corner and exit at any point. You can finish (or change) anything from Settings later.

Typical asset download time:

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

You can render only after both downloads finish. The Create tab shows a “Waiting for rendering engine and base model…” banner and disables the Render button until they’re ready. Every other page — Library, Queue, Settings, Showcase — is fully usable in the meantime, so you can browse, connect platforms, tweak settings, and prep brand assets while you wait.

If something goes wrong during downloads, the app will pause and wait for connectivity to resume — just leave it running. If a download fails entirely or you clear the app data, relaunch and the downloads will resume where they left off.

3. A note on local processing

Before you reach the main app you’ll see a short dialog explaining that the entire pipeline — audio analysis, lyric transcription, image generation, and video encoding — runs on your computer. Nothing is sent to a server. That means your files stay private and you don’t need a subscription, but it also means rendering takes longer than cloud competitors (typically 5–15 minutes for a 3-minute song on modern hardware). Click OK, got it to continue.

This dialog only appears once per machine.

4. You’re in

Once the setup wizard closes (or you exit it), you’re on the Create tab and the app is ready to use. You can make your first video right away, or go back to finish setup later from Settings.

If you’d like to dive deeper, check out:

  1. Set up your brand — full details on channel name, logo, and voice.
  2. Connect your accounts — sign in to YouTube, TikTok, and/or Instagram for seamless uploading.

Then you can make your first video.
