What it's for
A full music video for a song, cut on the beat, with one look and one lead from the first shot to the last.
- Visualizers and music videos for an original song or a demo
- Vertical clips of a chorus for TikTok, Reels and Shorts
- Lyric videos with a story behind the words
- Pitching a video idea to a band or a label with real shots
What you give it
A song (upload an MP3, WAV or M4A you have the rights to, or describe one in a sentence and PopNow writes it), a look, and optionally one photo of your lead or a character from My characters.
Your song is never changed: it is the only soundtrack, and every cut lands on its beat. The lead keeps the same face, hair and outfit in every shot. If the lead is a real person, you confirm they agreed.
How it works
- Find the beatsThe tempo, every beat and bar, and the intro, verse, chorus and bridge are marked on a timeline. Drag to fix a section or choose which part of the song to use.
- Plan the shotsPick a look and a lead. Each section is split into shots on bar lines and gets one line describing what happens; edit any line before you pay for pictures.
- Approve the storyboardEvery shot gets its first frame. Redraw any frame you don't like for the price of one image.
- Shoot every shotEach shot is filmed from its approved frame, and chorus shots can lip-sync to your vocal. Reshoot any single shot.
- Cut and exportShots are cut on the beat with transitions that follow the sections, the clips' own sound is removed, and you export an MP4.
What you get
- An MP4 music video, 1080×1920 vertical or 1920×1080 wide, with your song as the only sound
- Every shot as its own clip and every first frame as an image
- The shot list with the time of every cut
What it doesn't do
- It doesn't copy a real artist's voice, face or video
- It doesn't change your song or mix it with other music
- One part of the song at a time, up to 90 seconds

Questions
Can I use my own song?+
Yes. Upload an MP3, WAV or M4A between 10 seconds and 6 minutes that you wrote or have the rights to. Your song stays exactly as it is and is the only soundtrack of the video.
How does it know where the chorus is?+
It listens for the beat and for changes in harmony and loudness, and with the lyrics transcribed it finds the lines that repeat. You can drag any boundary or rename a section before planning the shots.
Will the singer look the same in every shot?+
Each shot is filmed from a first frame drawn with your lead's photo, so face, hair and outfit carry through. You approve every first frame before any video is made.
Do the cuts really land on the beat?+
Yes. Shots are split on bar lines, and every cut falls on a beat of your song. Transitions between sections follow the look, and you can switch to hard cuts, flashes or dissolves.
How long can the video be?+
Up to 90 seconds per project, from any part of the song. Most chorus clips are 20 to 45 seconds.
What does it cost?+
A 30-second video in HD usually costs about 8628 credits, about 4008 in SD. You see the price of each step before you run it, and a failed shot is not charged.
