Neural Frames: The MWHQ User Guide
Neural Frames listens before it paints: it splits your song into eight stems and lets the music drive the picture. This guide teaches you to direct audio-reactive music videos, spend credits like a production budget, and keep a clean chain of rights from your audio to every frame. Thirty-six key points from first upload to a professional visual operation.
Intermediate: The Directed Video
Models as cameras, reactivity charts, both editors, Autopilot as first cut, character casts, lyric videos, lip sync, short-form strategy, release kits and credit budgets.
Advanced: The Visual Label
Rights as an operator, authorship packs, platform policy, vendor risk, client services, visual identity, catalogue production, live visuals and ROI.
What's Inside
When the music drives the picture — and you direct both.
Section 1 maps the creation modes, audio-reactive controls, plans and credits, with a numbered first-video walkthrough, a tool comparison, a genre playbook and straight answers to musicians’ questions. Three levels of twelve key points follow, each with common mistakes, pro moves and worked examples.
It is honest about the two walls: credits are the real currency, and Neural Frames licenses the video, not your music. You finish able to direct, budget and release videos with a ledger that connects audio to picture.
