What's new in Melodious

Honest AI tool capacity message#

When the daily AI tool limit is reached, the message no longer calls the tools free and tells you no credit was used.

See it before you sign up#

The signup and login pages now play a music video made with Melodious beside the form on larger screens, and the pricing page shows one above the plans.

7-day money-back guarantee#

Ask within 7 days of your first payment and we refund it in full. The guarantee now shows on the homepage, the pricing page and the plans page.

Clearer plans page#

The page you see before your first video now shows an example video, the price, and what happens next, with Starter first and the bigger plans one click away.

Clearer homepage#

The homepage now says plainly what you get and what it costs, and the "Trusted by" number is counted from real accounts.

Plans first#

A new account now sees the plans straight after signing up, and the short "about you" questions come after you have picked one.

Showcase without dates#

Videos on the community showcase no longer show the day they were made.

Log out from the plans page#

An account that has not picked a plan yet can now log out, or switch account, from the plans page.

Rough cut export#

Exporting a storyboard's rough cut as an MP4 now finishes for boards with more than one shot in a section, and the progress check no longer loses track of the export part-way through.

Super 8 look guide#

The seven cues behind the Super 8 film look and how to get them in a music video.

Clearer next step in our guides#

Nine blog guides (album covers, the visualizer, VHS and Super 8 looks, worship lyric videos, storyboards) now end with a specific "make this as a music video" step, and the storyboard guide has a cleaner address.

A tighter blog#

21 posts that did not help musicians make a music video were removed or folded into their stronger sibling, and the old links redirect to the right page.

Two tool pages described the old pricing#

The lyrics generator and the Suno prompt generator pages now say that plans start at $19 a month.

Melodious is now paid-only#

You pick a plan before you start. Starter is $19 a month and makes one 30-second HD music video a month; a full song needs Artist, Label or extra credits. The standalone tools under /tools stay free and need no account.

No pictures unless your credits cover the whole video#

Before any picture is drawn, we check that your credits cover the pictures and the video they are for. If they do not, we say so, with the numbers, and nothing is charged.

A button to the video maker on every free tool#

Each tool page now links to the music video maker and shows the starting price.

The rough cut failed to build#

A refused draw showed no reason#

If your credits covered the pictures but not the video, the page could refuse without saying why. It now shows the full explanation.

A free playlist name generator#

/tools/playlist-name-generator makes 24 playlist names at a time from an occasion (workout, study, road trip, heartbreak and more), a genre and a word of your own, with a guide to naming a playlist people press play on.

A free K-pop group name generator#

/tools/kpop-group-name-generator makes 24 group names from a concept and a member count, leaves out the names of well-known real groups, and lists the Korean words it uses with their meanings.

A free music genre finder#

/tools/music-genre-finder takes a track's tempo, energy, vocals, instruments and mood and shows the three genres that fit best with the reasons, plus a reference to 25 genres with typical tempo and artists to listen to.

An AI lip sync page#

/ai-lip-sync explains how a person, character or animal sings your lyrics on up to four chorus close-ups, what it costs, how to test one line first, and what it does not do.

Make a video from a tool result#

Pick a name or a genre result and one button opens the studio with a starting brief for a music video.

No page says the video product is free any more#

The app is paid-only: pricing, sign-up, the music video maker, the tool and comparison pages, the share pages, the terms and the metadata now say that a plan (Starter, $19 a month, one 30-second HD video a month) comes first. The free utility tools stay free.

The rough-cut download works again#

The storyboard MP4 export failed for every project since 6 October because it was handed the wrong address for the song; it now finds the project's song on the server.

The song title and band name generators now take a mood, and more#

Song titles take a genre, a mood and a theme word; band names take a genre, a lineup (band, solo or duo), a mood and a word to include. Both give 24 results at a time, and both pages have longer guides, including how to check a band name is free.

A free AI lyrics generator#

/tools/ai-lyrics-generator writes a verse, chorus and bridge in the shape of twelve genres (pop, country, rock, R&B, hip-hop, worship, reggae, afrobeats, K-pop, drill, metal, EDM) plus love and breakup songs, each with its own notes and original worked examples, and one click carries the lyrics into the studio as your starting brief for a lyric video.

A free rap lyrics generator#

/tools/ai-lyrics-generator/rap-lyrics-generator drafts a hook and a 16-bar verse with rhyme-aware endings, with a guide to bars, flow and multisyllabic rhyme. It will not write diss tracks or lyrics aimed at a named person.

A free Suno prompt generator#

/tools/suno-prompt-generator builds a style-of-music description and lyrics with [Verse] and [Chorus] tags from a genre, mood, vocal and tempo, ready to paste into Suno, with a live character count.

A free music video maker page and four comparison pages#

/music-video-maker explains how to go from a song to a finished video with a free brief and storyboard, and /vs/freebeat, /vs/videobolt, /vs/rotor-videos and /vs/capify compare Melodious with each of those tools, with dated, checked facts and an honest note on where each is the better pick.

Clearer tool pages#

The lyric video maker, music visualizer, MP3 to video, AI music video generator and Suno video generator pages have new titles and FAQs, and the AI music video generator page now says correctly that lip sync is available for up to four chorus close-ups.

Lyric videos#

Pick a lyric video (or both a music video and lyrics) in your brief and the words of your song are burned into the finished video as karaoke captions: each line appears with the vocal and the sung word lights up as it is sung. Captions are free; the render costs what it did before.

A sign-up button right under "The short answer" on every blog post#

Readers who already have their answer no longer have to scroll to the middle or the end of the article to start. The button sits above the table of contents, with one short line about pricing underneath, and fills the width on phones.

Videos already on the community showcase stay there when the showcase becomes opt-in#

Their owners never have to do anything; they can turn it off from the finished screen any time, and new videos still need an opt-in and an approval.

Style from a video is now part of paid plans#

Paste a YouTube link or upload a video and we write its style recipe into your brief, on any active paid plan, still free of credits and still up to 10 videos a day. Free accounts see it in the + menu marked "On paid plans" with a link to the plans; templates and Trending stay free for everyone.

The pricing page now says what redraws and renders cost#

A short "What things cost in credits" box and a new FAQ answer: redrawing one keyframe costs 7 to 13 credits depending on the shot's length, rendering a 30-second video at 720p costs about 552, and a plan's credits are shared between the two. The FAQ's old "75 minutes a month" and "minutes" wording now talks in credits, which is how plans are actually sold.

The docs no longer promise a cropped vertical cut or a "Full Video" download#

The finished-video and TikTok/Reels/Spotify guides now describe what the product does: you pick 16:9 or 9:16 in the brief, "Make a vertical version" starts a fresh 9:16 project, and the Spotify Canvas comes from a 9:16 video.

A brief sent without a song no longer leaves you stuck#

If your song had not reached your project when the brief was saved, the brief saved anyway, the concept then refused with a message you could not act on, and each try used up one of your free concept writes. Now the brief asks for your song right away ("Add your song to continue") with an upload button, a brief that was already stuck shows the same button, and an attempt refused because there is no song no longer counts against your free allowance.

Choose the film look of your video: 35 mm film, 90s tape or clean#

On the Brief page, under your brief, there are now three looks with a real example of each: 35 mm film (soft grain, natural colour), 90s tape (VHS texture) and Clean (no grain). If your brief says 80s, 90s or 2000s, 90s tape is picked for you and the page says why; an animated or illustrated look starts on Clean, so a cartoon gets no film grain. You can change it at any time, and again on the render screen before you pay.

Add a "Made with Melodious" end card to your video, if you want one (beta)#

The render screen has a new box: Add a 2-second "Made with Melodious" end card. It is unticked, and your video has no Melodious branding unless you tick it. When ticked, a 2-second card with your referral link is added after the last shot, in the same shape as your video (16:9, 9:16 or 1:1).

Credits from a failed render come back even if your plan renewed in between#

If a render started just before your monthly renewal and failed just after it, the credits it used were lost with the old month. They are now added to your new month's credits. If your subscription has ended, they come back for 30 days.

Referral links now credit the person who shared them#

A friend who signed up with Google from a referral link was never attached to the referrer, and an email signup was not attached either. Any page opened with a referral code now remembers it for 30 days, and the button on a shared video page uses the owner's referral link. A person who already has an account is never counted as a referral, and nobody can refer themselves.

One press of Generate can only ever charge once#

If the same keyframes were asked for twice at the same moment (a double press, a second tab, a retry after a slow response), each request could start its own run and take its own credits. Now the second request is given the run that is already drawing and nothing more is charged. A failed keyframe can still be retried and a finished one rerolled as before.

Checking a price no longer counts towards the limit on generating#

The storyboard looks up the price of the keyframes still to draw each time that set changes. Those lookups were counted as generations, so a busy board could be told "too many requests" without having drawn anything.

If the studio hits an error you now get a way back#

A fault while the project page was drawing could leave a blank white screen. It now shows a short message with a Reload button and a link back to your projects, and the fault is reported to us.

You are no longer charged the lip-sync price for a shot that shows no mouth#

A shot marked to sing could be drawn as a close-up of eyes, or from behind, and still be lip-synced and charged at the higher lip-sync price, with no lips to see. Now we look at each singing shot's picture first. If the singer's mouth isn't visible, the shot is made and priced as a normal shot, and the storyboard tells you: "This shot doesn't show the singer's mouth, so it won't be lip-synced.

Resetting your password works on any device#

If you asked for a reset on your laptop and opened the email on your phone, the page showed a password form that answered "Auth session missing!" and did not change your password. The page now checks the link first. If the link can't be used in that browser, or has expired, it says so and offers "Send me a new link" instead of a form that cannot work.

Finished videos are several times smaller, so they download and play sooner#

The film finish adds grain, and the final file was saved with no limit on its size: a 30-second 720p video could be 70 to 80 MB, and a 4-second lip-sync test 28 MB. The same videos are now about 15 MB and 4 MB, at the same resolution and length.

The bigger plans have the right names at checkout#

Stripe's payment page now says "Melodious Label Pro", "Melodious Studio" and "Melodious Scale", the same names as the site.

Free storyboards have a daily limit#

On a very busy day the free storyboards can be fully booked. If that happens the studio tells you, your brief stays free, and your free storyboard unlocks on your next visit the following day. Nothing is lost.

Sign-up and log-in now tell you what went wrong#

When a sign-up, log-in, confirmation email or password reset did not go through, the message flashed for a moment and then the page showed nothing, so the button looked broken. The form now keeps a clear message until you try again. If we are sending too many emails it asks you to wait a few minutes or continue with Google, and if you already have an account it gives you a link to log in.

Confirming your email on another device no longer says "Authentication failed"#

If you signed up on a laptop and opened the confirmation email on your phone, the email was confirmed but the page showed an error. It now says "Your email is confirmed. Log in to start your free storyboard."

A full refund now cancels the plan#

When we refund a subscription payment in full, the plan is cancelled at the same moment, so it does not renew and you are not charged again. Before, the plan stayed active after a refund until someone cancelled it by hand. A partial refund leaves your plan as it is.

Quick help in the feedback box#

The feedback window now links to the answers people ask for most, lets you say whether you want help, are reporting a bug or are suggesting an idea, and shows a reference once your message is sent. What you have typed stays in place if a screenshot fails to upload.

The buttons on the tool and comparison pages start you free#

The main button on the /tools and /vs pages used to send you to the pricing page. It now takes you to sign up and into the studio, where the brief, the concept and your first storyboard are free.

Lip-synced shots are priced separately#

A shot where your singer mouths the words now uses 2.2 times the credits of a normal shot to render (an 8-second singing shot is 324 credits at 720p; a normal one is 148). Up to four shots per render can sing. The price you see before you render, and on "Test this line", already includes it.

4K renders charge singing shots at the 1080p rate#

Lip-synced shots are made at 1080p at most, so on a 4K render they are now charged as 1080p instead of 4K. The 4K option says so.

On a phone, every button in the studio can be tapped#

"Submit brief" and "Ask me follow-up questions" sat underneath the bottom Chat / Storyboard bar, so the only way forward on a phone was "Decide for me". The same strip hid "Continue to storyboard" and "Revise concept" under the concept, "Play the rough cut" on the board, and "Back to the board" on the render screen; on a first visit the cookie notice also covered "Render video". The studio now leaves room for everything pinned to the bottom of the screen, and the render screen opens above the bar and scrolls from the top.

A brief that fails to send tries again by itself#

The first brief of a session sometimes failed and showed a technical error message. It is now sent a second time automatically, and if that fails too you see a plain message and a "Try again" button instead of the error text. Your words and answers stay where they were.

Homepage example videos have real captions#

Several tiles were captioned "Finalize storyboard and proceed with image generation." or "yes". They now show the video's title or the creator's own description, and no caption when there is neither.

The studio no longer stops working for everyone on a busy day#

All users shared one allowance of 10,000 requests a day, which about 50 studio sessions used up; after that every action failed until midnight UTC. The shared allowance is now sized for a launch-day spike, and an open board no longer uses up your own hourly allowance just by refreshing.

An idle board refreshes less often#

A storyboard with nothing being made now checks for updates every 4, then 8, then 16 seconds instead of every 4 seconds forever. It returns to every 4 seconds the moment you generate something.

Annual plan prices show the exact amount you pay#

The yearly prices for Label, Label Pro, Studio and Scale were shown rounded down to the dollar ($1,411) while checkout charged 20 cents more ($1,411.20). The plan cards and the bigger-plans menu now show the exact amount, and prices over a thousand dollars have a comma ($1,497/mo).

Every plan is a monthly subscription#

Pricing is three monthly plans: Starter $19/month (750 credits, about 35 seconds of HD video), Artist $97/month (5,200 credits, about 4 minutes, one full song) and Label $147/month (about 7 minutes of video a month, up from 5 minutes on Pro Starter at the same price). The bigger plans keep their prices under new names: Label Pro $397, Studio $797 and Scale $1,497. Every plan card shows the price, the credits, how much video that is, and who the plan is for.

Your first storyboard is free#

With a confirmed email you can now draw the keyframes for a 30-second storyboard without paying, with enough left over to redraw a few shots you don't like. It is a one-time allowance per account and can only be spent on keyframes. A plan is needed when you press "Render video", and the render screen shows the plans with the one that fits your video marked.

Annual plans are credited every month#

An annual plan is billed once a year and adds its monthly credits each month for twelve months, the same allowance as the monthly plan. It does not add a year of credits up front. Refunding or disputing the annual payment stops the monthly credits and takes back the unused ones.

Every public page states the same prices and the free storyboard#

The home page, /pricing, the /tools and /vs pages, the docs, the blog and the onboarding emails no longer mention the retired $19 First Video, $97 per-release videos, "no subscription" or "no free trial". They now list the monthly plans (Starter $19, Artist $97, Label $147; annual saves 20%) and say that the brief and your first 30-second storyboard are free, and that you subscribe to render. Starter is now described as about 35 seconds of HD video, which matches its plan card.

Annual plans say how they're credited#

Choosing annual billing now says "Billed yearly, credits added monthly". Confirming an annual upgrade promises one month's credits on the day, not twelve months' worth.

Bigger plans are in one dropdown, and the public pages say "monthly"#

The plan picker shows three cards: Starter, Artist and Label. Label Pro, Studio and Scale are in a single More credits / bigger plans dropdown that shows each plan's price and credits. Choosing one opens the same checkout.

Your concept stays one tap away#

Once your brief is done, the Brief tab shows a short summary of your answers (length, which part of the song, shape, and the photos you linked) with the concept underneath: the logline, the scenes and the colour palette, plus "Revise concept" and "Continue to storyboard". It's there at every stage, including after the storyboard is drawn and the video is rendered. Going back to look never re-plans, redraws or charges anything, and reloading the page keeps you on the tab you were reading.

Subscription credits are granted once per paid invoice#

A renewal used to be processed twice (two Stripe events for one invoice). A plan change granted a full new allowance even when only part of a month had been paid. Cancelling missed credits from renewals and expired unrelated older credits.

Lyric templates#

Lyric templates (word-by-word karaoke, line reveal, bold centre) and styles taken from videos with on-screen text now burn your song's lyrics into the finished video, in the template's colours and position, sized to your video's shape. Songs with no vocals skip the captions, and nothing extra is charged.

Trending this week#

The template gallery opens on "Trending this week": up to 6 new templates every Monday, each worked out from music videos that are doing well on YouTube right now. Each card shows three of our own example stills, and "Watch the original" opens the video that inspired it, credited and played on YouTube itself. Trending templates retire after four weeks.

Style from a video#

The composer's + menu has "Style from a video". Paste a YouTube link or upload a video (MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 250 MB) and we work out its style: the cut rhythm, transitions, light, colour palette, shots and hook. Then we direct a brand-new video for your song in that style; the footage, people and music in the reference are never used.

Start from a template#

The dashboard shows a row of ready-made music video templates above the composer, such as Neon flash-cut, Golden-hour performance, POV story, Album-art loop and Velocity cut-up. Press "Use this template", send your song, and the brief fills in the look, the feeling, the places and the shape, then asks only what the template can't answer. Anything you type still wins.

A page for every template#

"Templates" in the sidebar, and "Browse all templates" on the dashboard or in the + menu, open a page with every template under the same tabs: Trending this week, Templates and Yours. "Use this template" takes you back to the dashboard with it already chosen. In the composer, ⌘I (Ctrl+I on Windows) opens "Upload photos", as ⌘U opens "Upload a song".

Tell us who you are, and book a pilot#

Your next visit to the dashboard asks one quick question screen: what best describes you, your artist or company name, how you heard about us, and whether you would like to talk to us about a pilot. Managers, labels, agencies and distributors are also asked how many releases they put out a month. It is shown once, until you have answered.

Lip sync#

When your song has vocals, the brief offers a lip sync switch and asks who sings: the artist, the subject of your idea (a dog can sing) or someone you describe. Singing shots are marked on the storyboard with the line they sing, and you can move or turn off each mark. "Test this line" renders one singing shot first so you can check it before you render the whole video, and that clip is reused in the full render.

Your brief and concept are free#

Anyone with a confirmed email can open the studio, attach a song, write a brief, answer the follow-ups, press "Decide for me", and read and revise the concept without paying. Payment starts at "Draw keyframes": pressing it shows the First Video and Full Video packs right there on the board, and after checkout you come back to the same project, at the same step. Free use has fair limits: 3 free projects per account, and in each one 3 follow-up rounds, 3 concept writes and 2 shot lists.

Briefs stay focused#

A brief now asks at most three rounds of follow-up questions after the first. After that, "Ask me follow-up questions" is replaced by "Decide for me" and "Submit brief", which were always there.

Sign-ups need a real email address#

Throwaway email addresses (Mailinator, YOPmail and the like) are now refused when the account is created, not only on the sign-up page, with a message asking for a real address. Anyone who has already paid is never refused.

Vertical videos are made vertical, never cropped#

The brief now asks "Where's it going?": Landscape 16:9 (YouTube) or Vertical 9:16 (TikTok, Reels, Shorts), picked for you from your template. Your keyframes, clips, rough cut and final video are all made in that shape, so nothing is cut off the sides and your lyrics always fit the frame. The shape locks once your first keyframe is drawn.

Videos look shot on film, not generated#

Every keyframe is now described the way a cinematographer would: a real film stock, fine grain, soft halation, natural skin texture and natural colour, instead of words like "crisp HD" and "pristine" that gave stills a glossy AI look. A quick check after the storyboard is written fixes impossible details (sand pouring off DJ decks, rain indoors) and favours shots video models draw well: one or two people in medium shots and close-ups, simple camera moves, fewer wide crowd shots. Ask for an era ("90s", "70s disco") and the gear, clothes and film look of that time are spelled out.

Hear the part of the song you pick#

"Which part?" in the brief's length question is now your song's waveform with the chosen length drawn as a box on it, and the song's sections marked above. Drag the box, tap where it should start, or use the arrow keys (Shift moves 5 seconds). It snaps to a section when you let go close to one.

Projects name themselves from the brief#

A new project no longer stays "Untitled Project". When your brief is made, it gets a short title taken from your own words and your song, like "Dog Dancing in a Tree". The title shows in the workspace header, the sidebar and "Pick up where you left off" without a reload.

See a real video made with each template#

Every template card on the dashboard and the Templates page now shows a 30-second example that Melodious made with that template, marked "Made with Melodious". Hover over a card to play it (muted, looping); on a phone, tap the play button. With reduced motion switched on, you see a still frame instead.

Formats are now called templates#

Everything you see says "template": "Start from a template" on the dashboard and in the + menu, "Use this template", "Browse all templates", the Templates tabs and page, and the sidebar link. The page now lives at /templates. Old /formats links redirect there, and old dashboard links still work.

Templates now steer the whole film, not just the words#

A template's palette and light now set the concept's style, locked across every keyframe. Its shot mix shapes the shot cards, its cut rhythm shapes how the edit cuts to the beat, and its hook picks the opening shot. Your own answers still win, and a video without a template is made exactly as before.

Three thumbnails with every video#

The finished screen has a Thumbnails row: three frames taken from the middle of your video's hook, signature and set-piece scenes (evenly spaced frames for older storyboards). Each downloads in your video's own shape: 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Shorts, TikTok and Reels covers. Upload all three to YouTube's thumbnail test and keep the winner.

Choose your video's length first#

The brief's first question is now "How long should the video be?": 16 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds or the full song (lengths your song can't fill are hidden, and a song of 20 seconds or less is always the full song). Pick a shorter length and choose which part of the song it covers; it starts at your first chorus. The concept, the storyboard, the keyframes you pay for, the rough cut and the render then cover only that part, so you never pay to draw scenes you won't render, and the render screen opens on your chosen length.

The brief only asks, you decide#

The brief no longer says what the director pictures or marks a "my pick". It asks the few clarifying questions that would change your video (who or what is on screen and how they look, the place, the camera, light and colour, what happens on the beat, the story), every option is a plain choice, and nothing is selected until you choose. "A dog dancing in a tree" is asked what the dog looks like and what kind of tree it is.

"Treatment" is now "Concept"#

The step between your brief and the storyboard (the logline, one beat per section and the key decisions) is called the concept everywhere you see it: the checklist, the panel, its messages and the director's replies.

You can always build your concept#

After the fifth revision the Build button disappeared along with Revise, which left you unable to move on to the storyboard. Build now stays; only Revise makes way for the option to rewrite your vision.

The render screen says why it cannot price a render#

When the only drawn shots are lines you already rendered in a test, it now tells you to draw the other shots, instead of asking you to close and try again.

Every song is planned against its real structure#

Storyboards now always follow your song's real verses and choruses.

Templates behave as chosen#

Performance templates no longer add karaoke captions you didn't ask for, and title cards or credits in a reference video are no longer read as lyrics. The gallery shows only public templates and your own, newest first. Reading a reference video retries once if it fails, and gives up cleanly within four minutes.

Every trending template is usable#

Templates taken from videos with title cards or credits now appear in the gallery like any other, and "Style from a video" works for videos with on-screen text too. The "Watch the original" window closes when you click outside it.

The render price you see is the price you pay#

The "Render your video" screen now shows the exact number of credits the render will charge, worked out for the exact scenes you are rendering. While the price loads it says "Pricing…" and the buttons wait, and it prices again whenever you change the length or quality.

Your pack's included render is only used on your whole video#

Your First Video or Full Video pack includes a render of your whole video. When you render only part of a storyboard, that render is paid from your spare credits and your included render is kept for the full video. If your spare credits do not cover it, the render screen tells you how many shots are left to draw.

The brief asks about YOUR video, not a fixed list#

The director now reads your words, your song and your photos and writes the brief's questions itself: a sentence saying what it pictures (tap any part to change it), then only the few calls that would change this video, each with the right kind of answer (cards, chips, your own photos, or your song's sections) and its own pick already selected. "A dog dancing in a tree" is asked what kind of dog and how it dances, never "who's on screen". "Ask me follow-up questions" gets another round built on your answers, "Decide for me" takes the director's picks, and everything stays optional and free.

Use your saved characters, places and looks from the prompt box#

The + menu now has a "From your assets" section showing your saved characters, places and looks as thumbnails (with "Browse all" and a search once you have more than six of one kind), and typing @ in the prompt box opens the same picker inline. A picked asset appears beside your photos with its role, fills the brief's cast, locations or look, and is never uploaded a second time.

A new homepage#

Real music videos play behind a new headline, "Your song, directed.", with a prompt box to start from. A new "How it works" section walks through the three steps using one real storyboard, and the community gallery and an artist review are back. The price now only appears in the pricing section.

The brief asks only what it can't work out, in plain words#

The brief panel now reads like a director's form: your own words quoted back (with a Rewrite link), a line saying what it took from them, small cards for everything it already filled (tap one to change it), then only the open questions, each written for your project ("Who is she, exactly?", "Where does it happen?") with picture tiles, an "Upload a face" / "Upload a place" slot, and a box to describe it in your own words instead. Places can be picked in order, and the header counts the questions left. The director says what it heard in the track and read in your words on the left.

A new way to start a video: one prompt box#

The dashboard is now a single box with a + on the left and a send button on the right. Send stays off until you add a song, and says so. + adds a song (upload, a demo, or one you saved) and character, location and look photos. Your song sits above the box as a player you can scrub, with its sections as chips that jump straight to that part.

Reopening a project no longer pops a scene window at you#

If you left a scene open and came back later, that scene's window reopened by itself, with its Regenerate button sitting there. It now takes you back to the scene you were on without opening anything.

Video generation is working again#

We fixed a problem that stopped new videos from being made. No work was lost. If you were affected, reply to any Melodious email and we'll make it right.

Your saved assets load reliably#

Your saved characters, looks and places now load every time you open a project.

The Assets page now opens on Characters, Looks and Locations, including a shared stock library#

Characters, Looks and Locations come first, with your own assets ahead of a shared stock library you can use in any project. Props, music, keyframes, clips and videos sit below. The brief draws on the same library, and a second project offers your previous cast back in one tap.

The rough cut now exports as a free watermarked MP4#

Export your rough cut as a free MP4 set to your track, with gentle push-ins, soft crossfades between sections and a small Made with Melodious watermark. Fill everything draws any missing shots in one go, at a price shown first.

Clicking a board card now opens its shot inspector#

Each keyframe card opens an inspector where you can edit the shot's prompt, type and duration for free, attach a reference photo, restore earlier versions for free, and reroll the shot at the price shown on the button.

The projects page now shows your work, not a list of identical names#

Each project carries the first keyframe generated for it as a 16:9 thumbnail, a state pill (Rendered / Storyboard / Draft) with matching filter chips, and a name derived from the track or your first prompt, so seven projects can never again all be called the same thing.

The director now answers inside the panel you're on#

The director now knows which step you are on (brief, board, rough cut, rendering or finished) and answers for that step. Vague edits get a question back instead of a guess, it never spends credits without your go ahead, and error codes never reach the chat.

The rough cut now plays against your own track#

The rough cut plays in time with your song, with a gentle push-in on every shot and a snap on the beat. You can scrub through it, and keyframes that finish while it plays join the cut without restarting it.

Your pack's render is set aside the moment you buy it#

The render your pack includes is set aside the moment you buy it, so spending on keyframes can never use it up.

Every credit refusal now names the exact number and the next step#

When you do not have enough credits for something, you now see what it costs, what is spare, what is held for your render and what to do next. The render a pack includes can never be spent on images.

Your finished video now ends on a proper download screen#

When a render completes you get your video with Download front and centre, a share link, the vertical cut, how long your First Video credit has left, and a "Start the next one" button that carries your cast and look into a new project.

The storyboard is now a sampled board, not a list#

Planned shots appear as cards with their real price, failed shots offer a free retry, and changed shots are highlighted. A timeline marks every shot, and the footer shows live counts and your spare credits. The first keyframes drawn are chosen to fit the credits you have spare.

Render shows what your purchase covers#

Pressing Render shows exactly what your purchase covers, and the price of anything it doesn't.

The billing page now shows what your credits are for#

Pack buyers see a three-part bar (spent on images, reserved for the render already paid for, spare to change things with) so the render a pack bought is visibly never spent on images. When the spare drops below 24 credits the pack banner turns amber with the upgrade.

A new project workspace#

Opening a project lands in one workspace, with the director beside your brief and board and your project stats and balance in the header. Everything loads at once instead of rebuilding each view.

Changing your storyboard no longer doubles the price of your video#

When you changed a scene, the old storyboard was not cleared away, so the price to finish your video could double. The storyboard you are looking at is now the only one that counts, on existing projects as well as new ones.

The credit figure on the button is the figure we charge#

The estimate shown before you generate now matches the charge exactly.

The reference photo you attach now actually shapes your keyframes#

Your cast, look and location photos now shape every keyframe, not just their descriptions. The checklist only ticks "character locked" when a photo is really attached.

Every control in the shot inspector works#

Edit a shot's prompt, type or length, delete or duplicate it, attach a reference, and restore any earlier version for free. If something fails, it tells you.

Your paid render stays safe if we can't read your balance#

If we cannot read your balance for a moment, nothing is spent and nothing is charged. You are told plainly and can simply try again.

A keyframe you generate now appears on its own card, without a reload#

New keyframes appear on their card the moment they're ready, with no reload.

Your song carries into your project#

The song you pick on the dashboard now carries into your project, so Submit brief works first time and survives a refresh.

The board's own cards now show their keyframes too#

A shot marked ready now shows its keyframe on the board instead of an empty frame.

The rough cut plays your track, and keyframes stop rendering as broken images#

The rough cut now plays your song, and keyframe thumbnails on the board, in the player and on the render screen load properly. A project with no track says so plainly instead of showing a play button that does nothing.

Build now builds your storyboard, and the rough cut is reachable#

Pressing Build now plans your whole track for free, and the board fills in as shots land and again as each keyframe is drawn. If planning fails, the reason shows next to the button, and the rough cut opens as soon as one keyframe is ready.

New projects open reliably#

New projects open reliably, and the idea you typed on the dashboard is already in the box.

Generated keyframes now actually appear on the board#

Every keyframe you generate now lands on its shot: on the board, in the rough cut and on your projects page.

Describing the cast, look or locations in your own words no longer fails#

The cast, look and location questions in the brief now accept your own words, and what you typed shows back in the panel.

Dead sessions and runs now say so instead of spinning forever#

If a project or run can no longer be reached, the app now stops and says so with a way to recover, instead of spinning forever. Brief hiccups retry quietly. The billing page shows a clear "balance unavailable" message with a retry, never a made up zero.

The Full Video you paid for is now the length you paid for#

Buying a video pack gave you the credits but not the lengths: every option above 30 seconds still asked you to upgrade to a subscription you didn't need. Duration now follows your credit balance, so a Full Video purchase unlocks the full four minutes.

Start with a $19 first video#

The homepage's main button now goes straight to checkout.

Buying with an email address you already have an account for now works#

Buying with the email address of an existing account now works, and if a purchase belongs to a different account we tell you which one.

Your First Video has no watermark#

One-time purchases now render without a watermark, as promised.

New accounts start at the checkout page (/start) rather than the studio#

Your first Melodious video is now $19#

A finished 30-second clip, no watermark, credited in full toward a full-length video for 14 days. Full videos are $97 per release. There is no free tier: nothing renders before a payment.

You can now buy without making an account first#

The buy buttons go straight to checkout, and you choose how to sign in after you've paid, with your credits already waiting. If you close the tab, the confirmation email brings you back, and signing up later with the same address finds your purchase automatically.

The Pro overlay tells you when there's nothing to add#

If your song has no readable lyrics or you haven't set up artist branding, it now says so instead of returning an unchanged video.

The audio visualizer's download is now named for the file you actually got#

Safari records MP4 rather than WebM, but every download was named .webm regardless, so the one browser that produced the more compatible file was the one that labelled it wrongly. Its FAQ also claimed converting WebM to MP4 for TikTok and Reels "costs no quality"; it is a real re-encode, and the page now says so.

Blog article images no longer have the headline printed across them#

On the article index the cards crop the image, which sliced that text mid-word: "Solo artist vs. Band" showed up as "lo artist / band". All 35 hero images are regenerated clean, and they load slightly faster than before.

Reloading the page while your first storyboard was being created no longer starts a second one#

It used to start planning your video a second time.

Long renders no longer drop at five minutes#

Render progress now reaches your browser directly, and reloading mid-render picks up where it left off.

Added an interactive Camelot wheel at /tools/camelot-wheel#

Click any key to see what mixes with it, or drop a track in and it finds the key for you and selects it. Runs entirely in your browser.

Added a free audio visualizer at /tools/audio-visualizer#

Three styles, downloadable video with audio, no watermark and no upload. It also says plainly where a visualizer stops being the right tool, which is the honest version of a page we could have oversold.

Added a free BPM + key finder at /tools/bpm-key-finder#

Both readings from one pass, each rated separately, because a track can have a rock-solid tempo and an ambiguous key.

Added a free tap tempo tool at /tools/tap-tempo#

Tap along and read the BPM off your taps, for when there is no file to analyse: a record playing in the room, a rehearsal, a song in your head.

Added three free name generators#

/tools/band-name-generator, /tools/rapper-name-generator and /tools/song-title-generator. Genre-filtered, unlimited, no account, and each carries the practical part people actually need: how to check a band or rap name is genuinely free to use, and why a song title that already exists is usually fine to reuse.

The prompt box says what to do, and shows you what's possible#

It now reads "Describe your music video" and cycles through real examples (a rooftop performance, a story about leaving home, big lyrics over slow-motion streets, abstract colour moving with the beat) so the question "what am I even allowed to ask for?" answers itself. The old hints typed themselves out one letter at a time, so most of the time the box showed half a word, and all three said the same kind of thing in the same voice.

Play your track before you build anything#

Picking a song now gives you a real waveform you can press play on, click anywhere to scrub, and arrow-key through, so "is this the right track?" is answered in two seconds instead of after a storyboard. The shape is decoded from your actual audio, not drawn from the file name.

The scene planner now uses everything you chose#

Your aspect ratio becomes real framing instructions, your characters and style references are named as things scenes must be built around, your director is applied, and a lyric or lip-sync video gets scenes composed for it, clean space for words, or performers with visible faces.

It tells you what it is doing while it builds#

"Planning 5 shots for 30s…" rather than one unchanging line for half a minute.

The app is dramatically faster#

Checking on a running project now takes a fraction of the time it used to, and the cost shown before you submit appears straight away.

Editing a scene works again#

Regenerating an image failed with "This scene isn't part of a video on your account" on projects you own. Scene edits now work on every project you own, however you opened it.

Your storyboard is about what you asked for#

Type "a dog in a tree" and every scene now has a dog in it. Before, your description was the last line handed to the planner (after a full dump of the song's analysis, under an instruction to follow the song's structure) so it wrote a storyboard about the song instead: on the track we tested with, five scenes, no dog, and two scenes titled with lyrics from the song.

"Creating your storyboard…" stops when the storyboard is done#

If the live connection dropped, the app had no other way to learn what stage your project had reached, so it kept showing the building message over a storyboard that had finished minutes earlier. It now checks directly as well.

Songs in your library can be analysed#

Analysing a song saved in your library now works.

Lyric video is offered for songs that have vocals#

Attaching a song now takes about a second. We check for vocals straight away and transcribe the words a moment later, when they are needed, so lyric video is offered whenever your song has vocals.

Songs with an off-round tempo no longer lose their whole analysis#

A track whose tempo came back as a decimal, like 114.8 BPM, used to lose its whole analysis: no tempo, no sections and no lyrics. Every tempo now keeps its full analysis.

The demo tracks are ready the instant you pick one#

They were being analysed from scratch on every single click, by every user, for a set of three songs that never change. Their analysis now ships with the app.

Removed the "Try a demo" button#

It scrolled to the demo tracks that were already on screen directly below it, so pressing it did nothing visible.

The demo track chips work on phones#

The play button was invisible until you hovered, which never happens on a touchscreen, so tapping the icon started a silent preview instead of picking the song. The preview is gone; tapping a chip picks the track.

The storyboard panel shows one thing at a time#

When your video is ready it now takes the top of the panel and the storyboard folds down to a single line you can open, instead of the finished video sitting at the very bottom under everything that made it. The waveform shrinks to a slim ruler at that point too, since the video has its own player.

The create screen leads with what it does#

"Turn your song into a music video. Drop a track. We read it and decide the rest.", and the add-a-character button now sits inside the description box, where attachments belong, so the settings underneath stay on one line however many characters you add.

Your storyboard opens again when you come back to a project#

If you reloaded the page, or opened a project from the sidebar, the storyboard panel never appeared. Your storyboard and every image were safe the whole time, and the panel now opens again.

A finished video no longer says "Creating your storyboard…"#

Once your storyboard was made and the video was rendering, the chat went back to claiming it was still building the storyboard (with a live pulse) and kept saying it after the video had finished. It said the same thing when a run had failed outright, so a broken render looked like cheerful progress.

The create screen only asks you two things now#

Before you add a song it shows one thing (where to put the song) instead of fifteen controls, six of which couldn't hold a value yet because every one of them is worked out from your track. The rest appear once there is something to work them out from. The "Upload Song → Describe Vision → Watch It Generate" strip is gone with them; it was a diagram of the screen you were already looking at.

"Music video or lyric video" is a one-tap choice on the create screen#

Both options are always visible, so you can see we make lyric videos without opening anything. On a track with no singing the lyric option greys out and says why on screen, rather than quietly disappearing.

The shape of your video is one menu, labelled by where it is going#

"TikTok · Reels · Shorts" rather than "9:16", instead of three ratios competing for attention. It is the only setting your song cannot decide for you.

Fixed the BPM confidence score, which could only ever return 1.0#

So the BPM finder claimed "high confidence" on every file, including audio with no beat, on a page whose whole promise is flagging a guess as a guess.

The storyboard stopped offering to change things you had already made#

The output type and intro/outro panels sat under your storyboard and never went away, so a finished video still invited you to change what kind of video it was, and because nothing checked the track for singing, an instrumental was offered three lyric styles to pick between. The output type is asked once now, on the create screen, before you spend anything. Intro & outro is hidden until it can live where it belongs: beside the finished video, not underneath a storyboard.

Added a free song key finder at /tools/song-key-finder#

Chroma + Krumhansl-Schmuckler key detection running entirely in the browser, which tells you when the runner-up is the relative major/minor instead of sounding certain.

Added /tools/tempo-finder with the Italian tempo markings and typical BPM ranges by genre#

A page that lists the free tools#

All the free tools now live on one page at /tools, and "Free tools" is in the main navigation, one click from the homepage.

A free BPM finder at /tools/bpm-finder#

Drop in a track and get its tempo, no signup, no upload, no limit. The analysis runs entirely in your browser, so the file never leaves your device and it works offline. It tells you how confident the reading is rather than presenting a guess as a fact, and explains the half/double-tempo ambiguity when it bites.

The create screen now shows you what it decided, before you spend anything#

Attach a song and it reads the track, then fills in every setting for you (length, aspect, cut speed, director and quality) and shows its reasoning where it helps ("Fast cuts, from 128 BPM"). You can change any of them, or change none. The song sits at the top with its length, tempo and whether it has vocals, so you can see the track was actually listened to.

Reference images can say what they are#

Add a photo as a Character, a Style or a Location instead of an untagged image the director has to guess about. If you try to cast a fifth character, it says so on the spot.

You watch your storyboard being built, instead of waiting for it#

Pressing "Create storyboard" goes straight to the two-panel view with the storyboard already open on the right. Every scene appears immediately as an empty cell with its real timecode (we know the cut points from your track before a single image exists) and each one fills in as its frame arrives. The chat keeps one line telling you what is happening now: "Planning the shots…", then "Rendering frames · 3 of 7".

The project list in the sidebar scrolls again#

It had been growing past the bottom of the window instead of scrolling inside its own panel, so with a long history roughly thirty projects were rendered off the screen with no way to reach them, and the ones just above overlapped the Credits and Log out rows.

"Create storyboard" works on the first click#

With the reference picker open, the first click closed the panel and the button jumped up the page before the click landed, so nothing happened, and it worked on the second try. The picker now floats above the form instead of pushing it around.

The BPM finder had no way into the app#

Its only button went back to the homepage. Every tool and comparison page now offers a direct way into the app.

Comparison pages had the same broken breadcrumb#

/vs/kaiber and /vs/neural-frames both pointed at a /vs index that has never existed. The crumb is gone rather than faked.

Your storyboard opens itself, and does it from the start#

When generation finished you were left looking at a chat log and a small grey card reading "Storyboard: 7 scenes"; the images you had just paid for were behind that click, and nothing suggested the card held pictures. The storyboard panel now opens the moment you press the button, so you see the whole thing being made rather than only the finished result.

The re-analysis steps are really gone#

"Analyzing audio" and "Extracting lyrics" could still appear after pressing Create, as ticked-off steps, and again whenever you reopened the project. Your song is now read once, on the create screen, and those steps no longer describe anything that is still happening.

The cut-speed label no longer disagrees with the video#

A track at 119 BPM was labelled "Balanced" on screen and cut fast in the actual storyboard, because the screen and the director used different tempo thresholds.

A song is uploaded and read once, not twice#

Picking a track on the create screen and then continuing into the project analysed the same song a second time.

New accounts can actually start a video again#

Every length option on the "How long should your video be?" step was locked (the 30-second Clip showed "Not enough credits" and the Next button did nothing) so a signed-up, verified account had no way forward at all. The step was checking whether you could afford the finished video before letting you pick a length, rather than the storyboard you were about to make. It now checks the storyboard, so the Clip is selectable; paying is still required to render the video.

Being asked to pay for a video no longer looks like an error#

When an account without a purchase tried to render, the request came back as a generic server error instead of the upgrade prompt, so the message never reached the part of the app that shows the offer. The refusal now arrives correctly and explains that the render is what you're buying.

New accounts can build a storyboard again#

Signing up now grants 70 credits, enough to turn your song into a full set of keyframes and see what your video would look like before deciding to make it.

Rendering the video now requires a purchase, and says so#

The video render is the part you buy, and an unpaid account now sees a clear prompt to buy instead of a generic "insufficient credits" message. Anyone who has bought a credit pack or holds a subscription can render; a one-time pack purchase is enough.

1080p and 4K are now Pro features#

The resolution picker now offers 1080p and 4K to Pro accounts.

Your storyboard and first images now appear straight away#

Attach a song, say what you want to see, and Melodious writes the storyboard and starts generating the keyframes immediately, no interview questions, no length picker, and no approving a wall of text before you get to see anything. It reads the song's tempo and sections and makes those calls for you. The credit cost is stated under the box before you send, so pressing send is the decision; the storyboard stays fully editable afterwards, and generating the video still has its own separate approval step.

Your projects are reachable on a phone#

Opening the menu on mobile now lists your previous projects, so you can jump back into anything you've started. Before, there was no way to reach them from a phone: the menu only had "New Project", "Home" and "Assets". The full list is there now, with "Show all" when there are more than a few.

The desktop project list is no longer cut off at 8#

It shows everything you've made and scrolls within the sidebar.

The box you type in grows as you write#

Both the "what should we create" box and the in-project chat box now expand as your text gets longer instead of trapping it in a small window. On the create screen your text also wraps properly; a long description used to run off the side of the box where you couldn't see it.

Long messages wrap in chat#

A long link or a long unbroken line used to run off the right edge of the message instead of wrapping onto the next line.

The cookie banner was covering the bottom of the mobile menu#

On a first visit it sat on top of the menu and swallowed taps, so the last few projects and the "Show all" button couldn't be reached, by exactly the people seeing the app for the first time.

A guide for turning a Suno song into a music video#

A new page walks through the whole workflow: export your track, upload it, let the director storyboard it against the song's real sections, then edit and render. There is no integration with Suno, just the audio file you download, so the same route works for any finished track.

The Create page wouldn't scroll on a phone#

On mobile, the "What should we create?" screen was frozen: the heading sat cut in half behind the top bar and the page wouldn't move up or down, so the song picker and prompt box below were unreachable. It scrolls properly now.

A failed sign-in no longer dead-ends on the homepage#

If signing in with Google didn't complete (an expired link, a reloaded tab, a tap of Back), you were dropped on the homepage still logged out, with a cryptic error in the address bar and nothing telling you what happened. You now get a plain-language message and a button to sign in again, and the error clears itself from the URL.

A lyric video maker page#

A new page for anyone looking for a lyric video tool. The words are timed from the vocal in your own song and aligned to the lyrics you confirm, over AI-generated scenes planned against the track's real structure.

The public pages are properly usable on a phone#

Comparison tables no longer get cut off on a phone, small controls are now easy to tap, and the homepage is shorter to scroll.

Melodious now works properly on a phone#

The studio used to load its desktop layout on mobile, which the browser shrank to fit: everything was tiny, and there was no way to reach Projects, Assets or New Project. The studio now has a proper mobile layout, with a bottom bar to switch between the chat and your storyboard, a slide-out menu, and full-screen storyboard and dialogs sized for a phone. Buttons are big enough to tap, including the per-scene controls that used to appear only on hover, and iPads in portrait get the same treatment.

Tell us why, right after you vote#

Tapping 👍 or 👎 on an assistant message now opens a small optional prompt, "what made this good?" or "what went wrong?", with room for a note and a screenshot. Your vote is saved the instant you tap, and skipping the prompt loses nothing.

Starting a new project no longer says "your session expired"#

Starting a second project soon after another could fail straight away with "Your session expired". It now starts normally, and if a conversation ever hits a technical problem, the message says plainly that the problem is on our side and your credits are safe.

Lyric captions can no longer pile up on top of each other#

When word-alignment quality degraded mid-render (patchy vocal transcription, or model timestamps that didn't even fit inside the song), several lyric lines could land in the same moment of the video and stack into an unreadable heap. Caption timing is now forced to be strictly sequential (one line on screen at a time, with any line squeezed below half a second dropped) so a degraded render loses a line at worst instead of becoming illegible.

The app no longer slides off-screen behind a black band#

After certain errors the whole workspace could shift up, leaving your chat and storyboard cut off behind a black band. The workspace is now pinned in place, and a failed video shows a short, clear reason in the chat.

Shared video links work again#

Every public share link now opens your video again.

Free regens are actually free now#

Keyframe regens and retries of scenes that failed on our side are free, as advertised, and the free clip regens under the Proud-to-Post guarantee now apply. Regenerating a clip because you want a different take is still charged.

You can retry again when only some scenes fail#

If a render finished with a few scenes failed and the rest fine, the workspace kept spinning on "Generating Scene…" forever and every retry button disappeared, leaving no way to fix the failed scenes short of starting the whole video over. The app now recognises a partly-finished render as finished: the spinner clears, the failed scenes are marked with a Retry button, and the storyboard shows a "retry failed scenes" banner.

You're only charged for the scenes you actually get#

If some scenes in a render fail, you now pay only for the scenes that were delivered, and the rest goes straight back to your balance, ready for a retry. Retrying costs only the failed scenes.

The assistant can no longer tell you your video is ready when it isn't#

The assistant now checks a finished video exists before saying so, and tells you the real next step.

The share prompt appears when your video is ready#

The share prompt now appears once every time a video finishes.

Share your video the moment it's ready#

When a render finishes, a share prompt pops up with a copyable public link, one-tap posting to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, and your referral link: invite a friend and you both get bonus credits. It sits alongside the download button, and you can dismiss it.

Five new guides on the blog#

New posts on music video sizes and aspect ratios, whether you need an EPK video, how to promote your music with a video, building an artist persona, and vertical versus horizontal. Every post now links to related guides.

Pro lyric overlay now stays in sync#

Lyrics burned onto a Pro video now land on the beat, matching Lyric Video mode.

Setup pickers survive a page reload#

The duration, pacing, aspect-ratio and resolution cards are shown one at a time, and reloading the page mid-sequence used to lose the cards not yet shown, so answering the visible one did nothing. Your choices now persist with the project, so a reload picks up right where you left off.

Creator handles and avatars on the community showcase#

Choose a handle and avatar in your profile and your showcase videos can carry your name. Nothing is shown unless you set one.

Generate an asset, don't just upload one#

The assets library's Add asset box now has a Browse and Generate toggle. Describe the character, prop, style or location you want and Melodious creates the image, optionally from a reference photo. The price shows before you generate, and the image saves straight to your library, ready to @mention.

In-app feedback with screenshots#

The "Help & Feedback" button now opens a lightweight in-app box where you can type what's working or broken and drag-drop, paste, or attach screenshots, no more bouncing out to an off-site form. Feedback lands with us instantly, tied to where you were in the app so we can actually act on it.

Thumbs up/down on AI messages#

Each response in the chat now has a subtle 👍/👎 so you can flag good or bad answers in one tap (a down-vote lets you optionally add a one-line "what was wrong?"). It helps us tune the AI over time.

Search, filter & pagination on the blog#

The blog home is now a single-column reading list with a search box, category filter chips (Guides · Compare · Budget · Ideas), and pagination, so the growing library of guides stays easy to browse as it scales.

Lyric videos with synced on-screen words#

Pick Lyric video in the composer and your song renders with word-synced lyrics over the AI-generated scenes, in one of three styles: Karaoke Highlight, Line Reveal or Bold Center. The words are timed from the vocal in your own song and aligned to your lyrics, which you can correct before rendering. Lyric captions cost nothing extra.

Add intro & outro scenes to your music video#

A new "Add intro & outro" panel under the storyboard lets you generate a YouTube-ready opening title card ("<Presenter> presents" + song title) and a closing credits scene (cover art + your credit lines) right inside the render, no more bolting them on in a separate editor afterwards. Pick a template (Cinematic / Album Reveal), fill in presenter, artist, song title, and credits, and they're spliced onto the final video automatically with proper typography.

New "MP3 to music video" landing page#

A new page at /tools/mp3-to-video explains how to turn an audio file into an AI music video.

Re-rendering no longer fills your library with copies#

Re-rendering a project now refreshes each scene's card in your assets library instead of adding another copy.

Melodious blog#

A public blog at /blog with guides for making AI music videos. First post covers keeping the same character consistent across every scene.

"New" badge on Reference asset#

In the composer + menu (both the create and in-project composers), matching Director style, so the @-reference feature is obvious.

Easier to discover the asset features#

The /dashboard create composer's + menu now includes Reference asset (type @ to pull in a saved character, style, song, etc.) alongside Song / Photos / Director style, and "new" badges now flag Assets (left sidebar) and Director style so the recently shipped features are obvious.

Director-style persona from the start, and free starter songs in your library#

The creative-director persona (presets like Moody cinematic, Hip-hop or Indie, or a custom brief) can now be chosen from the composer's + menu ("Director style"), not just inside a project, and the choice carries into the new project so its first turn is already steered. Every account also gets the three demo songs (Summertime Groove, Rhythm in the Night, Eternal Light) as free, reusable songs in its library.

The agent now offers to reuse a saved song#

When no song is attached yet, it asks you to either upload a new track or @-mention one already in your library (starter songs or your own), so the @-reference path is discoverable in conversation.

A New Project button, and projects named from your first prompt#

A New Project button now sits at the top of the sidebar, and projects are named from your first prompt as soon as you send it. A name you set yourself is never overwritten.

Colour-coded @mentions by asset type#

The @ picker and the reference pills in chat now tint each asset by type, so characters, music, styles, locations and the rest are easy to tell apart.

@mention an asset in your very first message#

Typing @ in the composer on the home page now lists your saved assets, so a character, look or song can shape a project from its first message.

Save any frame as an asset#

A bookmark on each generated keyframe saves it to your library as a character, style, location or prop, so you can @mention it to keep a look consistent across scenes and projects.

@mention a song to set the track#

Songs in your library now appear in the @ menu, and picking one sets the project's track.

Clearer help when a shot fails#

A failed shot now says why and offers the right next step, such as editing the prompt and retrying. The storyboard flags how many scenes need attention.

Per-scene regenerate button#

Each shot card has a regenerate button that shows the price first. Other shots are left untouched.

Chat input drag-drop and copy-paste for images and audio#

Drag songs and images onto the chat box, or paste a screenshot straight in.

A short welcome tour#

Your first visit asks what describes you best and walks you through the four steps from song to video.

A documentation site at /docs#

3-step "How It Works" visual flow on landing page#

Reference photo thumbnails in storyboard panel#

AI-generated project names#

Projects now get a short AI-written title once the storyboard exists, instead of being named after a reply like "yes".

Landing page features section redesigned#

"From song to screen in minutes" with outcome-focused cards

Reference photos work even when added after the storyboard#

Run up to five generations at once#

1080p and 4K really render at 1080p and 4K#

Choosing a higher resolution now renders at that resolution.

Sticky landing header background#

The sticky marketing header now gains an opaque blurred background and subtle border while scrolling so the logo, navigation, and CTA remain readable over page content on desktop and mobile.

Pacing now matches its label#

Slow, balanced and fast pacing now each produce the mix of shot lengths they promise, and always fill your chosen length exactly.

WAV uploads work in Safari and some Windows browsers#

Some browsers label WAV files in a way we did not accept, so the upload was rejected. They now upload normally.

Your video is exactly the length you chose#

Pick a length and the finished video runs exactly that long, matching the storyboard.

Large reference photos are resized instead of dropped#

Each showcase video now gets a short descriptive title.
