&gt; Why is [logging in via Google] more secure? When logging in with one of the buttons above, we can&#x27;t store your password.<p>I&#x27;m ok with you storing my password, I&#x27;d create a unique one, this seems secure.<p>I don&#x27;t want to log in via Google though, I see it as less privacy friendly.<p>It&#x27;s also arguably less secure; if my Google account is compromised, the attacker gains access to other services.

Very cool app--wanted to leave you some feedback after my first test render finished.<p>Loved the visuals. I can tell that your analysis separates out harmony and percussion as advertised as the video reacts very well to transients in music. This is a common criticism I have of music visualizers--often they don&#x27;t react to transients quickly enough to communicate the percussion patterns and that&#x27;s not an issue here.<p>The whole process creating the video was very easy. Some more control over the images used would be cool, but I&#x27;m not sure how that&#x27;d work. I do also like that the images are generated and unique for each project. Perhaps if it&#x27;s possible there could be an advanced feature to upload a pool of images to seed the generation of images. For example, if I wanted to create a video using landscape images of a particular type (mountains, forests, etc), this kind of feature would be very useful.<p>I&#x27;m not sure I&#x27;ll be a paying customer for this product, as I don&#x27;t have a commercial use for music visualization at the moment, but I&#x27;ll be playing around with it some more for sure. I have a big collection of synthesized versions of classical music I created for a project that never materialized, so I can see using this tool to revisit that music and perhaps create videos to share. Thanks for sharing this very cool project!

I haven&#x27;t seen StyleGAN used in such an abstract way -- the results are really beautiful, very biological. Sometimes it reminds me of cellular automata, at least the very high resolution ones that stabilize into cellular-looking blobs. Are these trained on some input data or is it parametrically produced somehow? It&#x27;s been a few years since I was reading about GANs so I can&#x27;t really put together how you&#x27;re getting the images and textures here.

Might be interesting but I&#x27;m missing some info.<p>Firstly, like others have said, I don&#x27;t want to use Google to sign in.<p>Also, why must I sign in? This seems like a tool and thus doesn&#x27;y need a login.<p>Which makes me ask... what&#x27;s the pricing? When I do &quot;sign up&quot; do I only get one video? one minute? a limit of some type?<p>Also, what&#x27;s the legal? Do you own the video? Can I monetize it?<p>An FAQ can probably help answer the above.

Why do I have to sign in using Google?

This is incredible, and an entertaining use case for stylegan. Big fan of the first example track (Kupla x j&#x27;san - raindrops) which caught my attention. Keep up the great work!

While it&#x27;s impressive that an AI manage to do that, you can find much higher quality content made with existing special tools. The best organic, cellular automata like video clip that is synchronized with the music that I know of is: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;_7wKjTf_RlI" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;_7wKjTf_RlI</a>

A little warning that renders can take a long time these days. We&#x27;ve been trying to increase our quota on GCP for GPU instances, but they&#x27;ve refused our requests. We tried contacting the GCP team, but no reply yet.<p>If you know someone from the GCP team (sales&#x2F;support), please let us know! We would like to increase our GPU instance quota.

I uploaded one of my own tunes, one which I made with my wife. The video generated was spectacular. I was so impressed that the relatively high price tag is not a deal breaker. Love this.

Your I made it all the way to the &quot;Google login&quot;, pressed it and was promoted for _way more_ than my email like my advertising preferences and any information I&#x27;ve found available.<p>It is possible to make that optional and by all means you should - that is possible with google sign in scopes. Even if you want my public profile info and not just my email that should be optional.

Google being the only login option is getting some criticism. What would you like as authentication options?<p>- FB - Twitter - Apple - Would email+pw be necessary? I’m maybe biased, I generally prefer using and implementing third party authentication.

Cool and interesting idea, but like most said, won&#x27;t be logging in using google OAuth. Hope the demos are actual display of the tech instead of &quot;hand made&quot;

Great tool, looking forward to the new dimension this will add to parties and music shows in the future!

That&#x27;s really cool. How much computation (FLOPs) goes into rendering 10 sec of audio?

do you have a youtube demo or something? Personally I don&#x27;t login to something unless I&#x27;m seriously interested, and I have no idea what this is without a demo
