Cloud rendering: start it, walk away, get notified

How Music Visualizer renders work: confirm your settings, get an honest time estimate, then close the tab — you are notified by email (and optional browser push) the moment your MP4 is ready. Downloads stay available for 30 days.

The render flow, step by step

1. Hit Render and confirm. A summary sheet shows exactly what will be rendered — track, trim, resolution, style, background, cost in credits — before anything is charged.

2. Optionally test with a draft first. A draft render (5 credits) produces the first 10 seconds at preview resolution in about a minute — the cheapest way to sanity-check a new look before a full render.

3. Read the queue ticket. After submitting you see “✓ Render queued” with an honest time estimate based on recent real renders, your position in the queue, and a note if a render server is booting up for you.

4. Walk away. Close the tab, close the laptop. Full renders take a few minutes on cloud GPUs; nothing runs on your machine.

5. Get notified. When the video is ready you get an email with watch and download links. On the queue ticket you can also tap “Notify on this device” for a browser push notification — it works on desktop even after the tab is closed, and on phones (iOS requires adding the app to your home screen first).

6. Watch, download, share. The dashboard keeps your render history: an instant streaming preview, the full-quality MP4 download, and a delete button. Downloads stay available for 30 days.
