How to use Custom
Custom lets you pick the picture model and the video model yourself. Studio and Fast keep using Freebeat’s own models. After you click Continue, the rest of the steps stay the same. This page only shows how to turn Custom on.
1What Custom does
Use Custom when you want a different look from the usual Freebeat models. You are still making a music video in the same place. You are only changing which models draw the pictures and turn them into video.
The three choices mean this:
Studio: Freebeat's own model. Use this when you want a more careful, more stable result.Fast: also Freebeat's own model. Use this when you want a quicker result.Custom: you pick one picture model and one video model yourself.
Custom needs VIP. If you are not signed in, opening the menu asks you to log in first. If you are signed in but not a member, Continue opens the upgrade page instead of saving your choice.
These other models can also take longer. If you just want a video quickly, stay on Studio or Fast.
Recommendeddecide if you really need Custom before you click Create. Once you start, this choice stays for this video.
Not recommendedthinking Custom is a different product. It is not. Plan, storyboard, and merge still work the same way.
2How to open Custom
Go to /music-video-generator. Custom is the small button next to Create. It is not a separate page.
- Make sure you are on Freebeat 2.0. That is the normal starting point.
- Look at the button next to
Create. Before you change anything, it usually saysStudioorFast. - Click it. You will see
Studio,Fast, andCustom.
- Click
Custom. A window calledCustom Model Configurationopens.
The first time, you may see a short intro. Try Custom mode opens the same window. Maybe later keeps you on Studio or Fast.
Recommendedadd your song, write your idea, and set the size first. Then open Custom. The size you pick can change which video models you can use.
Not recommendedlooking for a Custom page. There isn't one. It is just this button.
3How to pick your models
The window asks two things: which model draws the pictures, and which model turns them into video. The starting choices are GPT-Image 2 for pictures and Seedance 2.5 for video. You can keep them, or change either one.
3.1Pick the picture model
IMAGE MODEL decides how the still pictures look.
Use them like this:
GPT-Image 2: the usual choice. Start here if you are not sure.Nano Banana 2: cheaper, and usually lighter.Nano Banana Pro: stronger than Nano Banana 2, still in the same family.
This does not make the moving video by itself. It only sets how the pictures look.
3.2Pick the video model
VIDEO GENERATION MODEL decides how those pictures move.
Use them like this:
HappyHorse: another 720p / 1080p option if you do not want Seedance.Wan2.7: also 720p / 1080p, and usually uses fewer credits.Seedance 2.0: the standard Seedance look at 720p or 1080p.Seedance 2.0 Fast: 720p only. Faster, but only that size.Seedance 2.5: the usual choice. Newer Seedance, and it needs 720p.MiniMax H3: 768p or 2k only. Use it only if you want that size.
The small i next to the video label is a reminder: these models can be slower when a lot of people are using them.
3.3If a model is grey
If a video model does not work with the size you picked, it stays in the list but turns grey. You cannot click it until you change the size.
Common cases:
Seedance 2.0 FastandSeedance 2.5need720p.MiniMax H3needs768por2k.
Close the window, change the size next to the prompt, then open Custom again.
3.4Cancel or Continue
There are only two buttons at the bottom:
Cancelcloses the window. Nothing is saved. You stay on Studio.Continuesaves the two models you picked for this video.
If you are not a member, Continue does not save Custom. It closes the window and opens upgrade.
Recommendedchange the size first, then pick the model. Grey means the size does not match, not that the model is broken.
Not recommendedclicking Continue just to look around. That saves the choice, or sends a non-member to upgrade.
4After you click Continue
If it worked, the button next to Create now says Custom. That means this video will use the two models you just picked.
What stays the same:
- You still add music, write your idea, set captions, and click
Create. - The later steps still follow the Agent tutorial.
- Changes in this same video keep using these two models.
What changed:
- Pictures come from the picture model you picked.
- Motion comes from the video model you picked.
- Switching back to
StudioorFastdrops this Custom choice.
When you are ready to make the video, go to the Agent tutorial. Custom only changes the models. It does not replace those steps.
Recommendedafter Continue, look at the button. If it does not say Custom, your choice was not saved.
Not recommendedstaying on this page and trying to remake the whole Agent flow. Custom is done here.
5Which one should you use
| What you want | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A quick, stable Freebeat look | Fast | Freebeat's own faster option. |
| A more careful Freebeat look | Studio | Freebeat's own more careful option. |
| A specific picture look plus a specific video model | Custom | You choose both before you click Create. |
| More control over how it looks | Custom | You can pair a stronger picture model with the video model you want. |
| A result as soon as possible | Studio or Fast | Custom can take longer. |
Recommendedonly use Custom when you already know which two models you want. Then keep that choice for this video.
Not recommendedopening Custom every time just because it is in the menu. If you do not need other models, Studio or Fast is simpler.
