📹 Personalised Music Video: Add your face

The Music Video workflow can feature your own face, not just AI-generated characters. Upload a photo at the cast step and you appear as the performer throughout the video. You can add multiple performers too, so a duet, a band, or a group all show up consistently scene to scene. It's the same Music Video workflow, with the cast set to real faces you provide.

Step 1: Add your music

• Click Upload Audio and drag in your file. Supported: .mp3 and .wav, max 200MB.
• Set the language of the audio. Automatic (Recommended) auto-detects language and accent, or pick one manually (e.g. English, Hindi, Tamil, Spanish).
• Atlabs transcribes the track, extracting the lyrics/dialogue and detecting tempo, mood, and genre to structure it into scenes. Credits used are shown before you confirm.

🚨 If the language is misidentified, correct it manually before transcription for clean results.

• Choose your Video type: Narrative (a story across cinematic scenes) or Performance (a lip-synced video of the artist).
• Have your own idea? Use the Storyline box to tell the story you want your music to tell and introduce your cast: who they are and how they connect. Leave it blank and Atlabs will craft one from your track.

• Atlabs now automatically detects the elements of your audio track like the Language, Mood, Genre, BPM.

Note: If the language or the elements are misidentified, you can easily click to edit and correct it before moving to the next step.

Step 2: Set the style

• Select the Aspect Ratio depending on where you are planning to post it.
• Choose the Video Style: Whether you want an AI Video or you would like to generate the storyboard with the still images.
• Finally, pick a visual style for your music video.

Step 3: Shape the creative direction

• Atlabs will give you multiple video directions to select from for the music video.
• Different interpretations of the same song, you can hover and read the one which resonates best with the vibe of the song.
• Incase, you have your own vision, you can simply select the 'Describe your content' option and add 1-2 liner description.

Step 4: Add a custom character image at Finalise Cast

• At the Finalise Cast step, open a character card (or click Add Character) and choose to upload a reference image. A popup will open where you can upload your image.
• Add a clear, well-lit, front-facing image, then give the character a name and, optionally, a clothing or appearance note.
• Choose Keep Uploaded Look or Match Visual Style, depending on whether you want to preserve the uploaded appearance or adapt it to the video's selected visual style.

This step helps maintain the character's consistency throughout the storyboard visuals and music video.

🚨 Use a sharp, front-facing photo. Blurry, angled, or low-light images produce inconsistent results across scenes.

Step 4: Add your face at Finalise Cast

• Still in Finalise Cast, click Add Character for each additional performer.
• Upload a separate face image for each one and name them.
• If your lyrics or script reference specific performers, keep the character names consistent so Atlabs places the right person in the right scene.

Final Step: Finalise Video

Once, all the 4-steps are setup. You can click on the 'finalise Video' option.

• You can generate 'Storyboard' - still images/visuals for the music video first. (Then, scene-by-scene generate motions and lip-syncs)
• You can choose 'Preview Video' - generate the first 25 seconds with full motion & lip-sync. (To check if this align with your vision)
• Generate the Full Video with everything end-to-end. (Visuals, Motions, Lip-syncs)

🛠 Troubleshooting

• Upload failed? Check file format and size.
• Audio not transcribing well? Try cleaner audio or reduce background noise.
• Incorrect language? Select it manually before clicking Transcribe.
