Important facts about AI for musicians
I’m a customer on the $39/month plan and have been using VidMuse.ai for about four months. I’m not going to give it a one-star rating, as there are some redeeming qualities. However, as a musician, I’d like to point out a few issues that are particularly relevant to this field: 1. The process is excessively slow. I’ve literally been waiting 12 hours for a 32-second project to finish. 2. The interactive system often fails to correctly “understand” what you’re asking for, despite the detailed information provided. You’re led to believe that, for example, 2,450 credits will be enough. However, when the result isn’t what you expected, the agent offers to make corrections using other options—but doing so requires additional credits, which run out far too quickly. 3. In my case, the lip-syncing for a short verse performed by a four-member vocal group (barely four lines) never turned out correctly, even after trying about 10 different approaches, both with the group and with individual members. Eventually, the agent apologized and acknowledged that they didn’t have the tools to fix the issue. 4. I was never able to download the final video generated by the system. It looked fine when played on their site, but after five or six attempts, the downloaded file was always corrupted, allowing me to view only the opening scene. There may be more to say, but based on my experience, this application is definitely not suitable for creating music videos, even at an amateur level.
