Tutorial: Cozy jazz café video in Lite mode

Lite mode gives you three hours of unique jazz for 24 credits by using one visual scene instead of one per track. Perfect when you want to publish weekly without burning your whole allowance.

1. 1

   Start a Music-mode project

   Dashboard → New Project. Keep Music selected — there's no separate Lite card; the wizard offers Lite on the Idea step.

2. 2

   Describe the café

   Idea: "A small jazz café on a rainy evening — warm wood, espresso machine glow, window seats, gentle piano-and-brush-drums jazz, unhurried and warm."

3. 3

   Set the length and switch to Lite

   On the same Idea step, pick the Extended (3 hours) preset — 50 tracks. For videos of 2 hours or more (35+ tracks) the wizard offers Lite mode: accept it, and the cost drops from 50 to 24 credits. Then generate and curate the melodies like in Music mode (each credit includes a free regeneration).

4. 4

   Pick your one perfect scene

   Lite generates 4 candidate images — pick the strongest composition (clear focal point, warm light). It's animated into one 10-second loop; if the motion is too busy, regenerate it. Favor subtle motion that won't tire the eye over three hours.

5. 5

   Assemble, meta, download

   Continue to the Export step and the render starts on our servers (about 40 minutes). Meanwhile, polish the SEO pack ("Cozy Jazz Café Ambience — 3 Hours of Relaxing Piano Jazz") and put your text on the thumbnail. When the video is ready, watch it right there, then download the video and the thumbnail.
