Crayonbrain

Crayonbrain is a platform for making audio/visual content. You can write music on the site, upload your own, or browse the free library of loops. Plug any of these into a visualizer to create videos.

Neither, it's more like a sketchpad. Crayonbrain is best at making short-form content, finding new ideas, and experimenting. It's made to compliment existing creative workflows.

No, the visuals are not generated by AI. It's built with a similar user experience to AI video generators, but cheaper, more efficient, and you can actually see what you're getting before you buy.

No. Everything on the site is free, but video exports have a weekly rate limit. You can wait for it to refresh, or buy extra tokens to keep downloading videos.

You sure can. The export feature is for convenience, quality, and control over certain things like aspect ratio. Screen recording is more or less how the feature works under the hood, but it also gets sent to a server to make a better quality video file. This part costs money, which is why there's a token system.

Anything you upload to make a video export is stored for a few days, long enough to give you time to download it, and then deleted. Your composer projects are stored indefinitely, but you can delete them at any time and they're private to you unless you post them. Microphone input from the live feature stays on your device completely.

As a general rule, you should only ever trust the financial incentives of a tech product, rather than the promises made. In this case, your data is something that costs money, not something that makes money. Crayonbrain has every incentive to follow the data policy exactly as written.
