I want to send feedback, how do I do that?

  • Use contact page
  • Inside Lyric Video Studio, select Help from menu and then “Report issue”
  • In unfortunate case of app crashing, just restart the app and it will prompt you for feedback

New update was announced, with new plugins, how to I obtain the updated plugins?

  • If you downloaded LVS from https://lyricvideo.studio.com/buy, you’ll get update notification and updating the app is enough
  • If you have Lyric Video Studio LITE: You must wait for the next major update
  • If you have full / trial version of Microsoft store: Wait for the next major update OR update your plugins from https://github.com/Lyric-Video-Studio/BuildInPlugins/
    • This is because Microsoft Store update certification can some times make up random excuses to block the update, only critical fixes and major updates are published there
  • If you have Steam version: Update plugins from here: https://github.com/Lyric-Video-Studio/BuildInPlugins/
    • And this is because Steam policies regarding external sources to pay something into

  • Microsoft store LITE-version only: how do I cancel my subscription?
    • Click on “Manage subscriptions” on start page or go to https://account.microsoft.com/services

    • On the next page, you can modify the subscription

Why is my local image generation so slow?

  • Are you using CPU? Well, then, it is very slow at the moment. You should probable be using Black Forest Labs or Luma AI image plugins, price per image is real cheap
  • Most important thing is to monitor memory consumption. If you are using for example FLUX, get smaller model from https://huggingface.co/second-state/FLUX.1-dev-GGUF/tree/5f485eae3ac4edfe5bd8c32534665882cb2ab696 Q4 for example should work on 16Gb of GPU mem
  • Make sure your memory usage does not go to “Shared memory”-zone, that will slow things up! (the red circles in the picture below is indicator that you don’t have enough GPU memory)
  • All locally runnign models have been tested and default setting optimized with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (16gb vram). You may need to for example reduce generated image size for lower end GPU’s

How about other platforms than Windows?

  • Mobile: not planned at the moment, main issue would be screen size and available computing power
  • Linux & Mac: Yes, someday. Work for Linux support (Steam) is progressing slowly (if you would like to volunteer for beta testing, use contacts page)
  • Web: Currently not planned, access to computer resources is vital to the app right now. With web assembly, that’s achievable, but more complex.

Plugins use access tokens / api keys, is it safe?

  • Plugins store the keys to windows credential manager, in your computer
  • None of your access tokens / keys are logged in plain text, nor forwarded to any server (except of course when authenticating to service provider)
  • Usually service providers either offer pay-as-you-go, where you need to buy the credits beforehand
  • Some service providers even offer extra protection, allowing spending limits per
  • I’m experiencing random crashes / warning about file not saved?
    • Microsoft Defender and/or Drive can cause issues of project file is saved in Documents / Desktop etc cloud synced drive
    • Software performance also is affected by this, therefor it’s recommended to save project files to separate, high performing disk or to create project folder, like “c:\LvsProjects”. You should manually backup then to cloud, if needed. Automatic syncing might cause issues.

I’m getting Smart screen warning from installer

  • Installer and software has recently been signed with “personal” certificate. It takes time until the Windows will start trusting it, so please keep pressing “Install anyways” (does not apply to Microsoft Store / Steam versions)
  • Why does windows warns me when I download and try to start the installer?
    • Installer and application are signed with so called IV certificate, intented for individuals. Certificate works in a way, that when enough people have started it, Windows Smart Screen will no longer show the warning. You can see the developer name in the Smart Screen. Certificate is meant for extra security against anyone impersonating LVS or the Installer and tricking users to start malicious apps

I’m getting error about Milkdrop Presets load failure

  • Not all MilkDrop presets are compatible with the system. However, you can check at least one thing from the preset file itself:
    • per_frame_22=k1 = is_
    • per_frame_23=beat*equal(index%2,0);
    • SHOULD BE –>
    • per_frame_22=k1 = is_beat*equal(index%2,0);
