YOUR APPOINTMENT WITH MAX
More conversation.
Less blank canvas.
Bring a finished song and a feeling. Or a wild idea. Or absolutely no idea. Max helps turn it into a visual world, then walks you through making it real.
You can refine his suggestions, bring your own pictures and clips, and come back to your saved project. You’re part of the creative process at every step.
01
FIRST, LET’S TALK MONEY
A big idea.
A sensible budget.
Once your song is in, Max starts with what you’re comfortable spending. He suggests a mix of pictures and optional video clips to suit, with built-in effects to make those pictures move.
Saving a budget doesn’t spend credits. You see the price and approve each AI request before it starts. Your spending limit is a plan, not a credit purchase.
THE PRICE IS PART OF THE CONVERSATION100 credits = US$1
AI pictures and character cards: 50 credits (US$0.50) each. Planning and video clips have their own approval. Membership and extra credits are separate.
Explore memberships & creditsSMALL BUDGET. STILL A BIG FEELING.
Less spend.
More imagination.
Sometimes you want the whole cinematic production. Sometimes you just need a brilliant-looking video without a big bill. Max makes room for both.
A strong image, well-timed lyrics and beautiful movement can do a lot. Spend on the moments that matter to your song. Use your own media, gentle pan and zoom, and built-in visualizers for the rest.
Make new pictures.
Generate the shots you need at US$0.50 each. Stills can carry the story beautifully, with movement and smart pacing.
Add video.
Animate selected scenes for extra movement. Clip prices vary with the work needed; you review them first.
Every song is different. This is one production example, not a fixed price for every video. Membership and credit purchases are separate. Remakes are separate purchases too.
CROWD-FUNDED MUSIC VIDEOS · A SHARED HEAD START
Big ideas travel.
Good ingredients get reused.
A smaller budget can start with a bigger collection. Browse images, video clips, character cards and effects that other creators have already made before paying to create something new.
Creators fund the AI work they approve. When the result joins the community library, the next creator can reuse it without another AI generation charge. Your song, timing, lyrics and mix of effects make it a different video.
Plan around what exists.
Find a picture or clip that fits your song. Reuse it across scenes, change the framing and let well-timed lyrics and effects carry the energy.
Spend on the missing pieces.
Bring your own media and use shared ingredients first. Ask Max to create a new image, character or effect only where it earns its place. Review the price before new AI work begins.
Keep a creative collection.
Use Max FX Lab to create and tune effects. Build your cast in Character Lab. Save your custom creations privately or share them so someone else can build on the idea.
You choose what to share from your custom collection. Custom uploads, character cards and Lab effects can stay private. Generic generated media joins the community automatically. Sharing a reusable item does not publish your source song, lyric editor or finished music video.
Artist and Record Label include the community libraries. Members reuse shared creations without AI credits; new AI work has a price to approve.
02
A SONG HAS A WORLD INSIDE IT
Let’s find yours.
Tell Max how it should feel, where it happens, and what you definitely want—or want to avoid. He helps shape the colour, light, setting and emotional journey into one coherent direction.
Stuck for a starting point? Ask him to suggest an idea from your lyrics. He takes the saved budget into account, so the idea has a way to become a real video.
Keep the good bits. Change the rest. His suggestions are editable. Your taste leads the way.
THINK LIKE A DIRECTOR
Make the movement mean something.
Open with a place that draws us in. Move closer for the personal line. Save a bigger visual moment for the chorus. Let the ending breathe.
That’s the kind of creative direction you can develop with Max: a story with a rhythm, not just a pile of pictures.
03One picture.
GOT A PICTURE? YOU’VE GOT A STARTING POINT.
One picture.
A whole cast
of possibilities.
A band photo. A strange little universe. Your hero and their very dramatic dog. Give Max a reference and help him carry its character into your video.
- Show Max the scene.
Upload a picture, then approve the image analysis. Max suggests its mood, colour, lighting, setting and the visible characters.
- Choose your cast.
Want the three main characters? Pick those three, name them and refine their details. The project supports up to four characters.
- Give them a character card.
Create an eight-view reference card for each character you choose. Each card is a separate US$0.50 AI creation, approved by you.
- Bring that world into the story.
Use the original picture and character references to guide new scenes. Choose who appears, recreate the visual setting, and review the result.
Already have a character in mind? Describe them, or upload up to three reference photos. Cards help Max keep their look consistent across scenes.
04
NOW WE’RE MAKING A MOVIE
Plan the shots.
Pick the magic.
Max turns your direction into a scene plan: what happens, when it happens, and which pictures tell the story. Review it before moving on to the images.
New plans aim to change pictures at least every 15 seconds, with shorter scenes where the song wants them. Then choose which moments deserve AI video clips and which work beautifully as stills.
You can upload your own scene pictures, mix them with AI artwork, or get the image prompts to generate pictures elsewhere and bring them back. Download a ZIP of your prompts and their saved character and scene references, with instructions showing which images to attach. Uploading the finished pictures to Max uses no AI credits.

05 · THE LIGHT SHOW IS YOURS
Turn up
the eye candy.
Colour that pulses. Shapes that bloom. Light that moves with the music. Built-in visualizers, pan and zoom, and line tracing bring a still picture to life—with no AI charge.
A luminous flower opens and folds with the rhythm.
Loading the light show…
Close to Over · FunkToshiPlay the song. Hear it. See it.
You’re watching the visuals respond to the music you can hear: Close to Over by FunkToshi, shared here with the artist’s permission. In your project, try different colours, sizes and intensity to find your look. Asking Max to design a custom effect is a separate AI request.
06 · GIVE EVERY WORD ITS MOMENT
Lyrics can be
part of the world.
Let the lyrics inspire the imagery. Style them as text on screen. Or choose Lyric Showcase and ask Max to put the words inside the scene—on a window, a wall or a sign.
Bring your own timed lyrics or try AI transcription, then review and correct the words. Prefer to let the music speak for itself? Choose a music-led video.
Typing or importing lyrics adds no AI charge. AI transcription has its own price approval.

THE PREMIERE IS YOUR CALL
Watch it.
Love it.
Make it yours.
Preview the whole thing: scenes, transitions, lyrics, artist name and song title. Choose landscape, vertical, square or a social feed format.
Try a short test export, then save your finished video in Full HD 1080p. Download a copy to keep and share. Your saved project lets you return and make changes.
Full-video downloads need a paid membership. Try Max first with a watermarked preview of up to 60 seconds. Export format depends on your browser.
THE ENCORE · FROM YOUR STUDIO TO OUR SCREENING ROOM
Ready for
an audience?
After downloading your video, you can choose to publish it in the Max Power Video Library. Give it a title, credit the artist and let people watch, discover and share your finished work.
Library videos show their production cost, too. See how other creators use their budgets—and find ideas for your next track.
Publishing is your choice. It shares the finished video and music, not your private source track, lyrics editor or background gallery. Keep it private for as long as you like.

ITS BIG MOMENT.
A FEW THINGS WORTH KNOWING
No mystery.
Just Max.
Do I need to know anything about video editing?
No. The appointment walks you through one decision at a time. Max helps with the creative direction, scene planning and look; you review the results and choose what to use.
Does my budget get charged all at once?
No. Saving the budget or choosing a recommended mix spends nothing. It sets the limit for your AI work. Each paid request has its own price approval. Credits you buy and your membership are separate from that project limit.
Can I keep costs down without making it look cheap?
Yes. Focus on a strong visual idea, good artwork and timing. Bring your own media, use still pictures with pan and zoom, and explore the built-in effects. Add paid AI clips only where the movement earns its place.
What if I want a different picture or character?
Edit the direction or references and review the new creation price. A remake is another paid AI request. You can also upload a replacement of your own with no AI charge.
Can I pause and come back?
Your saved project keeps your progress with the song. Return from your Dashboard to keep working. Download the final video so you have your own copy, too.
