Direct Before You Spend
Upload your master, run the free preview and write a direction with a place, an action, a turn and an ending.
Academy / SoundBoost Ladder / Level 1
SoundBoost Foundations
Level 1 of the SoundBoost ladder takes you from a finished song to a first music video you can release with confidence. You learn the storyboard-first workflow, how to write a direction, set references and a main character with consent, repair stills for 3 credits instead of 20, read the estimate and log what you made.
Control the Look and the Cast
Set one strong reference, a named look and a main character built from photos you have consent to use.
Release It Correctly
Read the estimate, make the film, download and log it, then release with a rights ledger and the right YouTube disclosure.
What You’ll Cover
Start with the free preview, finish with a film you can release.
Twelve sessions on the storyboard-first workflow: the Music Videos tab and credits pill, upload and analysis, the direction formula, references and Quick Styles, main characters and consent, reading the storyboard, Retake image, Edit image and Rewrite, the credit ledger, quality tiers, download and QC, and your first release.
You can take a finished song through SoundBoost to a logged, disclosed and rights-checked music video, spending credits on purpose.
Where This Level Fits
Level 1 builds the habits Level 2 depends on.
You leave with one finished film, a credit ledger, a rights ledger and a consent template. Level 2 uses them to build a repeatable workflow.
Right for producers, artists and creators with a finished song who want a controlled, documented way to make a music video.
