Overview
BeatDesign is an open-source, local-first creative workspace that combines Studio, Canvas, Editor, and Assets into a single local project. It is designed for agent-native production, allowing users to start ideas, explore branches, shape the cut, and keep everything together. The browser serves as the studio, with every view working on the same local project from the first prompt to the final cut.
The product includes an infinite canvas for branching ideas, a real timeline editor for moving from generated idea to finished cut, and agent-ready capabilities through 29 MCP tools. It supports image, video, audio, timeline, and text-oriented canvas nodes, model and parameter selection from a code-defined BeatAPI catalog, and standard and deep video analysis. The timeline editor offers drag-to-trim, split, move, ripple delete, undo/redo, audio volume and fades, selected-range AI redo as non-destructive Takes, and timeline diagnostics. Browser-side H.264/AAC MP4 export is available without system FFmpeg, and renders return to Assets.
BeatDesign is built for everyday AI creation across ecommerce, design, short video, and AI builder workflows. It runs locally with Node.js 22+, pnpm 10+, and a current Chrome on macOS or Windows. The local workspace is Apache-2.0 open source with no account system, subscription, or local credit ledger. Remote generation is billed under the terms of the provider you connect, and the official built-in provider uses your BeatAPI key only for generation, video analysis, or AI redo.

Use Cases
- Ecommerce and ads teams use BeatDesign to turn one product photo into hooks, variants, and 9:16 ad cuts while keeping unreleased products on their machine.
- Designers and brands use BeatDesign for reference-driven generation with project-level assets, where history is a fork tree rather than a chat log.
- Short video and drama creators use BeatDesign to storyboard on the canvas, cut in the 15–60s timeline, and mix local footage with generated shots.
- AI builders use BeatDesign to embed generation into agent workflows by importing media, rewriting prompts, placing clips, and exporting.
- Teams use BeatDesign to start from a prompt or local media, with Studio mapping the first generation.
- Users use BeatDesign to branch ideas, attach references, and keep every output in the project.
- Editors use BeatDesign to trim, split, mix, and redo a range with AI, then export MP4 in-browser.

FAQ
What is an AI Music Video API?
It is a workflow API that turns audio, reference images, lyrics or SRT, lip-sync options, format controls, and creative direction into a traceable task with storyboard data and hosted MP4 output.
How is an AI Music Video API different from a raw AI video model API?
A raw model API focuses on generation, while BeatAPI adds persistent assets, async task state, an actionable storyboard, and shot-level control.
