Frequently asked questions

Clipbeat turns a song into a music video in your browser. Upload an mp3 or wav, and Clipbeat transcribes and syncs the lyrics word by word, generates AI images and video shots, lines cuts up with the beat and exports a video for YouTube, TikTok or Reels.

Independent musicians and creators who want a lyric video, Spotify Canvas or full AI music video without a crew, a budget or video editing experience — including artists who make songs with AI music tools such as Suno.

Studio (studio.clipbeat.app) is a full editor with a multi-track timeline — you control every cut, lyric and visual. The AI Director is a chat panel on the right side of Studio: describe the video and it plans the scenes, generates the visuals and puts a first cut on your timeline. Everything it makes stays editable, so you can let it do the first pass and fine-tune by hand in the same project. (It replaces the separate Agent app, which is now part of Studio.)

mp3 and wav files. Lyrics are transcribed and timed automatically after upload.

Starting is free; the video is paid. Free, no card: upload your song, get your lyrics transcribed and timed word by word, and pick who sings, the style and the places for your video. See your chorus sung for $5: the $5 pack includes a short lip-synced preview of your singer singing your chorus, plus balance toward your video. Your video: $5 one-time (no subscription). The full song is made after payment. Using the editor and browser export costs nothing — with your own photos and clips, exports before any purchase are 720p with a small watermark, with no limit on length or number of exports.

Your music video, made from your storyboard: AI scenes for your whole song, exported at 1080p without a watermark. It is a one-time payment, not a subscription, and it starts right after you pay. Checkout shows your local price (for example in EUR or GBP). After your first video, AI video shots start at 15 credits each and exporting in your browser never uses credits.

Credits pay for AI generations: $1 = 20 credits. Sample costs: Photoreal image 3 (the default), Posters & typography image 2, Consistent faces image 5 (premium), Steady faces video shot 15, AI music track 11, voice/TTS 3 per 300 characters, voice clone 105. Premium styles (Realistic scenes 4, Ultra detail 11, Smooth motion 25) unlock after your first credit pack. Each generation shows its credit cost before you run it.

No. Clipbeat has no subscriptions and nothing renews. Uploading your song and the brief (who sings, the style, the places) come before any payment, the short chorus preview comes with the $5 credit pack, a finished music video is a one-time payment from $5, and credit packs are one-time too. Any credit pack also unlocks 1080p export without the watermark, 10 cloud renders a month (up to 6 min each), 10 cloud projects, the character library and the premium AI models (Realistic scenes, Ultra detail, Smooth motion).

Credit packs are one-time purchases: $5 (100 credits), $10 (200 credits), $25 (500 credits). Nothing renews.

Yes. Pro video styles (Cinematic flagship, Best consistency, Consistency, lower price, Cinematic 720p and more) unlock after your first credit pack and are billed per generation — 28 to 140 credits depending on the style.

Your first video is $5 one-time: AI scenes for your whole song, exported at 1080p without a watermark. After that it depends on the number of scenes and the quality you pick. As an example, 8 Photoreal images (24) and 4 Steady faces shots (4 × 15 = 60) come to about 84 credits. The AI Director in Studio shows an estimate before it generates anything.

Auto lyrics handle clear vocals very well in 50+ languages and detect the language automatically. Heavily processed or buried vocals can need a few manual fixes — every word and its timing is editable, and you can paste your own lyrics.

It transcribes your lyrics word by word, creates scene images in the look you pick (photoreal by default, plus illustration, posters and more), turns stills into moving shots — up to cinematic, face-consistent shots (Cinematic flagship, Best consistency, Consistency, lower price, Cinematic 720p) after your first credit pack — and makes music and voice-over. Stock footage comes from Pexels and Pixabay. Everything runs inside Clipbeat — no separate accounts or keys.

Yes. Beat detection lines scene changes up with your track so edits land on time.

16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5, so one project can become a YouTube video and a vertical clip for TikTok, Reels or Shorts. You can also export just a section of the song.

Yes. Connect YouTube, TikTok and Instagram in Settings and publish from the export screen with AI-suggested titles, descriptions and hashtags.

Yes. Download the song from Suno (⋯ menu → Download → MP3 Audio or WAV) and upload the file to Clipbeat. The vocals are transcribed and synced automatically.

No. Suno does not let other apps download songs by link, so download the file from Suno first and upload it — it takes a few seconds.

Clipbeat does not change who owns the song. Suno's terms for the plan you used decide what you may publish or monetize — check them before monetizing.

Exports before any purchase are 720p with a small Clipbeat watermark. After any credit pack (or a paid music video) exports are 1080p without a watermark. Browser export has no length or count limit.

Browser export renders the video on your own computer — without using credits, with no length limit, so it is the way to export long tracks. Server render runs the export on our servers, which helps on slower devices and phones; after any credit pack you get 10 cloud renders a month (up to 6 min each). Server renders after a credit pack are 1080p at any length. Before any credit pack you get 2 cloud renders a month at 720p with watermark (up to 5 minutes each), for iPhone/iPad where browser export is not available. Before a server render starts, Clipbeat checks the length and offers browser export if the video is longer than the limit.

You do. You need the rights to the music and media you upload, and generated visuals are subject to the terms of the AI models used.

Purchases are refundable within 14 days only if nothing has been generated yet. Once you generate anything (a preview, scene or video), the purchase is non-refundable, including any unused credits, and delivered videos are not refunded. If a generation fails, its credits come back automatically. Email hello@clipbeat.app; details are in the Refund Policy.

On your bank statement the charge appears as 850santral.com — that's the merchant account our payment processor uses for Clipbeat. It's us. If you don't recognise a charge, email hello@clipbeat.app before contacting your bank and we'll look it up.

Your audio is uploaded so it can be transcribed, and projects sync to your account so you can continue on another device. Your uploads are not used to train AI models, and you can delete a project and its media any time.
