You get realistic protagonist singing for 9 seconds or less. You can jiggle your shoulders or breathe or clench your fists but not much else. Then you will get the protagonist appearing in front of a scene. 4 seconds to 8 seconds. Not a whole lot of interaction. No way to change a wrong. System has a mind of its own. Even though I had a profile it gave me a random girl with a ponytail, the a random guy in shorts. After 4 attempts I got one I figured went sort of with the story. My advice is just live with it even if you have three hands or turn around and have a different face. Or have horns in every other scene. Even if you are hilariously driving the wrong way facing backwards as the scenery goes forward. You won’t get your way. CWAComputer Wins Again. Fun program to play with. Totally ignores my song. I tried over and over to get the song to show the ocean where the song said “ ocean”. Got it sort of close after 4 or 5 tries. That’s where all my credits go. Can’t have it your way. this isn’t Burger King. But I do have fun with it. I can see the time where I’ve gone through everything it can do and move on. My biggest peeve is nothing is 10 seconds long that I can use as a hook. One more second. Come on guys.

OK, I wanna stay out out of the gate. This is a pretty good video editor. It will take your lyrics or your song and make a video for them. There are a few issues though. One it often tends to get gender confused. If you put she, it will put a man. If the singer is supposed to be a she and you say to add a man to the scene, it will just add another female. Many times the same one so it’s two of the same people in the video. Not enough variance and not enough stuff like that. The second thing is the cost. The basic subscription is not a lot. But it makes you buy coins to do the video in each video is about 3200 coins. Well, the package of 3000 coins is $30. If you wanna go above that to the next entire package, it’s like $60. I’m just gonna say for one video that is a lot of money to spend. Especially if it keeps getting genders wrong and video where you can’t edit it the way you want. It doesn’t really seem that cost-effective. Leaving this video app for now myself because it is way too expensive. I might return if it comes down in price.

If you’re considering Sondo as an AI video generation tool for anything beyond casual fun, it is not quite ready yet. The app has real potential, especially for turning music into quick videos, but it needs several more rounds of serious development before the current pricing feels justified.Lip-sync remains one of the biggest weaknesses. Characters’ mouths often fail to match the vocals properly. Sometimes the alignment looks decent, but more often the AI adds random or mismatched movements that pull attention away from the performance. On the visual side, the output frequently feels like a blend of two or three different generation models, with noticeable hallucinations, artifacts, and inconsistencies running through the entire video. It can be entertaining to experiment with, but it does not reach professional or even semi-professional quality.For pure entertainment, you can usually get better or more controllable results by creating individual clips or images with something like Grok’s video tools and then stitching them together yourself, often at a lower effective cost.The credit system also feels expensive for the output you receive. A single music video can consume around 1,500 credits, while lower-tier plans provide far fewer credits than that burn rate would suggest (for example, base plans around $10 for 800 credits, higher ones $30 for 3,000). If they reduced the entry price to about $9.99 per month and increased credits to something closer to 6,400, it would offer much stronger value. That kind of change could attract far more casual users, generate more revenue, and speed up the development of needed upgrades.Bottom line: Keep an eye on Sondo and check its progress in a year or two. It has the potential to become genuinely useful. For now, I would hold off on subscribing unless you are only dabbling for amusement and do not mind the current rough edges.

I’ve made nine videos with Sondo, and every single one of them has had the same problem: it can’t keep my identity consistent. I upload a picture of myself — a clear, accurate photo — and somehow the system still turns me into a white guy at different points in the videos. There’s no excuse for that. If I’m giving the platform my actual face, how does it depict me as anything else?The lip‑syncing is always off, the movement never matches the rhythm, and the overall animation feels sloppy. But the worst moment was in a video I made for my daughter. A personal, emotional song — and instead of showing me, the Black father she knows, the video randomly morphs into a sobbing white man. That’s not just inaccurate. It’s disrespectful.On top of all that, fixing their mistakes costs extra. Every correction, every regeneration, every attempt to fix what their system broke requires more money. I bought the subscription thinking it would give me flexibility, but the second I tried to adjust anything, I hit paywalls. And when I asked for a refund? They refused.My entire experience with Sondo has been frustrating, expensive, and honestly disappointing. I strongly urge anyone considering it to stay away. It’s not worth the money, the time, or the disrespect that comes with being misrepresented in your own art.I don’t see where I could add photos but if I could I certainly would.
