Songbrain Updates https://www.songbrain.ai/updates What's new in Songbrain: new features, fixes and improvements, newest first. en Thu, 12 Nov 2026 09:00:00 GMT Improved: Download tells you what you get before it starts https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#download-card songbrain-update-download-card Thu, 12 Nov 2026 09:00:00 GMT A click on Download used to start the file right away. Now a small card opens first and says what you are about to save: the resolution, and whether the video carries a watermark. The card has two buttons: download with lyrics, or download without lyrics. That works for the AI music video and for most reels — only the reels that are made of lyrics, like the kinetic lyric video, come with lyrics only. Free downloads of the reels are 720p with a small watermark. On Premium they are 1080p with no watermark. The card says so before you download, not after. Improved: Fix lyrics line by line — or switch them off in a reel https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#lyrics-line-by-line songbrain-update-lyrics-line-by-line Tue, 10 Nov 2026 09:00:00 GMT Yesterday's lyrics editor was one big text box without times. Now every line is listed with the second it is sung at. Fix the wrong word and save: the line keeps its timing and nothing else in the song moves. The same lines are in the reel editor: click Edit on a reel, choose Lyrics, and you see only the lines sung in that reel. And on most reels one switch renders a version without lyrics — same pictures, same cuts, no text. New: Edit your lyrics https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#edit-lyrics songbrain-update-edit-lyrics Mon, 09 Nov 2026 09:00:00 GMT An artist told us the lyrics in his videos had mistakes, and that there was no way to put in his own text. Now there is. Open Edit on your song, choose Edit lyrics, then fix or paste your text — one line per sung line. Songbrain listens to the song again and puts your words on the timing it hears. That takes about 20 seconds. One more click renders your reels again with the new words, free. Words in a passage where we can't hear any singing are left out, and the editor tells you how many. The paid AI music video keeps the lyrics it was made with. Improved: Russian lyrics are far more accurate https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#russian-lyrics songbrain-update-russian-lyrics Mon, 09 Nov 2026 09:00:00 GMT The same artist sings in Russian. When we checked, more than half of our Russian songs carried lines nobody sang — subtitle credits the speech model had picked up from video subtitles — and whole verses were missing. Songs in Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian and other Cyrillic-script languages are now heard three times, and the best version of every 30 seconds is kept. Invented lines are removed and a second model corrects the words. On nine Russian test songs the recognised words went from 1,022 to 1,665. It applies to every new upload. Improved: More looks, previewed with your own song https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#more-looks-preview songbrain-update-more-looks-preview Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:00:00 GMT The extra reel designs under More looks now preview with your own song, starting at its best moment — not with a demo track. Any of them renders for 25 credits, on every plan. New: Upload a video file https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#video-upload songbrain-update-video-upload Sun, 25 Oct 2026 09:00:00 GMT About 40 uploads a week were video files, and we used to turn them away. MP4, MOV and M4V now work, up to 400 MB. We take the audio track and delete the video right away. New: Release tag: put OUT NOW on your reels https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#release-tag songbrain-update-release-tag Sat, 24 Oct 2026 09:00:00 GMT Before you post an HD reel you can add a tag: COMING SOON, OUT NOW or OUT with your date, plus a second line of your own. There are eight looks and all of them move with the beat. Drag the tag to where you want it, like a sticker. New: Rename your song, set the genre, use your own cover https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#edit-song songbrain-update-edit-song Mon, 19 Oct 2026 09:00:00 GMT A subscriber told us he missed a way to use his own artwork. The new Edit button on every song does that and more. Upload your own cover for free, or have a new one drawn for 10 credits. Change the song name. Type your own genre — once per song. A new name or cover goes into your reels and videos with one free re-render. Improved: Lyrics: about a third fewer wrong words https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#lyrics-second-model songbrain-update-lyrics-second-model Wed, 07 Oct 2026 09:00:00 GMT A second model now writes the words while the first one keeps the timing. On a public benchmark of 79 songs in English, German, French and Spanish, wrong words dropped from 34 % to 24 %. Every reel with lyrics benefits, because the words are part of the picture. New: The Songbrain API is open https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#api-open songbrain-update-api-open Tue, 06 Oct 2026 09:00:00 GMT Developers can send a song and get one JSON document back: Song DNA, beat grid, best moments, word-timed lyrics and a beat-synced shot plan. Keys are self-serve and the first 5 songs every month are free. New: Storyboard editor: swap single pictures https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#storyboard-editor songbrain-update-storyboard-editor Sun, 04 Oct 2026 09:00:00 GMT One wrong picture no longer means a whole new storyboard. Re-roll single images — the first 3 per song are free, then 10 credits each. Switching back and cutting the video again are free. New: Full-length YouTube video in 1080p, on every plan https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#youtube-hd songbrain-update-youtube-hd Sat, 03 Oct 2026 09:00:00 GMT The full-song video in 16:9 and 1080p used to need Premium. Now anyone can render one for 150 credits per design. On Premium it stays free and unlimited. If a render fails, the credits come back automatically. New: The AI music video without a subscription https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#ai-video-credits songbrain-update-ai-video-credits Fri, 02 Oct 2026 09:00:00 GMT The AI music video — real moving scenes directed from your lyrics — now costs 350 credits on every plan. One $10 credit pack covers it. If the render fails, the credits are refunded automatically. New: Compare up to 5 songs before you pick a single https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#compare-songs songbrain-update-compare-songs Tue, 15 Sep 2026 09:00:00 GMT Upload up to five songs at once, without an account, and get them ranked. It answers the question most artists ask first: which one do I push? New: Songbrain is open to everyone https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#open-to-everyone songbrain-update-open-to-everyone Sun, 09 Aug 2026 09:00:00 GMT No waitlist and no invite. Your first song is free and needs no account. New: Every analysis now comes with 7 ready-to-post reels https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#seven-reels songbrain-update-seven-reels Sat, 04 Jul 2026 09:00:00 GMT Knowing your best moment doesn't help if you still have to edit the video. So we turned Songbrain from advice into finished posts: every analysed song now comes with 7 vertical reels, cut on your beat and on your strongest moments. Milestone: The app goes live https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#app-live songbrain-update-app-live Mon, 18 May 2026 09:00:00 GMT The first version opens with early access: upload a song, get a score from 0 to 100 with the reasons, and the seconds where it hits hardest. Milestone: The first line of code https://www.songbrain.ai/updates#first-code songbrain-update-first-code Sun, 21 Dec 2025 09:00:00 GMT We start building the analysis pipeline: tempo, key, structure, lyrics and the strongest moments of a song, measured from the audio. Everything on this page grew out of it.
