Music 🎵

Fonts 🅰

Add your fonts to the static/assets/fonts and change the font name in the global settings.

Next Development FE:

Before running the front end create the following folders:

1. static
2. static/generated_videos -> All videos generated that have music will be here
3. static/Songs -> Put the mp4 songs that you want to use here

Start the front end:

1. cd UI
2. npm install
3. npm run dev

The alternative front end will be on port 3000

The frontend depends on the backend. You can run the Docker container or you can run the backend locally
