Documentation

1. Install

1. Download the latest installer from the Releases page (also linked from every Download button on this site).
2. Run Amazify Pro Setup X.Y.Z.exe. The installer is around 210 MB because FFmpeg and Chromium ship inside it — you never install codecs or browsers separately.
3. Windows may show a SmartScreen prompt ("Windows protected your PC"). Click More info → Run anyway. This appears once per version and is normal for installers that aren't yet code-signed.
4. Finish the wizard. It creates a desktop shortcut and a Start Menu entry.
5. Launch Amazify Pro. Requirements: Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Rendering is CPU-based, so more cores means faster renders, but no GPU is required.

2. First launch & free trial

On first launch Amazify Pro starts a 3-day free trial automatically — no card, no signup. The trial gives you 1 publishing channel and unlimited videos with every feature unlocked: all 7 AI providers, all 5 templates, captions, thumbnails, B-roll, publishing. A live countdown badge in the sidebar shows how much trial time is left.

When the trial ends, the app gates behind the License page. Your projects, rendered MP4s, settings and connected accounts stay on disk and unlock the moment you activate a license.

3. Activate your license

1. After purchase, Paddle emails your license key to the address you used at checkout.
2. In the app, open Sidebar → License.
3. Paste the key and click Activate. The key binds to a stable hardware fingerprint of this PC — one license, one seat.
4. The License page also shows your plan tier (Starter / Growth / MAX), channel quota, and your machine fingerprint for support inquiries.

Channel quota is lifetime per plan: Starter activates 1 publishing channel, Growth 5, MAX unlimited. Note that removing a channel does not free its slot — pick your channels deliberately.

4. Connect an AI provider

Scripts are written by whichever provider you select per project. Open Settings → AI Providers, connect at least one, and use the Test button to verify before rendering:

• Claude CLI (free with a Claude subscription) — no API key needed. Install the Claude Code CLI on the same PC, run claude once in a terminal and sign in with your Claude Pro/Max account. Amazify Pro detects the local claude binary and routes script generation through it at no extra API cost. If detection fails, make sure claude --version works in a fresh terminal.
• Claude API — paste an Anthropic API key from the Anthropic console.
• OpenAI (GPT-4o) — paste an API key from platform.openai.com. The same key also unlocks OpenAI TTS voices, Whisper API captions and DALL-E 3 thumbnails.
• Google Gemini — paste a key from aistudio.google.com. Google's free tier is enough for many videos per day.
• Groq — free-tier key from the Groq console; very fast Llama 3.3 generations.
• OpenRouter — one key from openrouter.ai unlocks hundreds of models through a single endpoint.
• LongCat — paste your LongCat API key.
• Template engine (offline, no key) — a built-in deterministic script writer. It works with zero setup and no internet, so you can render your very first video before connecting anything.

All keys are stored in an encrypted local credential store (Electron safeStorage + keytar). They never leave your machine except to call the provider you chose.

5. Connect publishing channels

Open Settings → Publishing. Each platform connects independently, and every connected channel counts against your plan's channel quota.

YouTube

1. Click Connect YouTube. A Google OAuth window opens in the bundled browser.
2. Sign in and grant the upload and analytics scopes. If your Google account manages several channels, pick the one to connect — you can connect more and switch between them with the multi-channel switcher.
3. Long-form (16:9) and Shorts (9:16) both publish to the same connected channel; the format is decided per project.

TikTok

1. Click Connect TikTok and complete the TikTok login. Amazify Pro uses the official Content Posting API.
2. Depending on your TikTok account's API audit status, uploads may land as drafts in your TikTok inbox for one-tap confirmation rather than publishing directly — this is a TikTok policy, not a setting.

Instagram Reels & Facebook Reels

1. Both run through the Meta Graph API and require a Facebook Page (and, for Reels, an Instagram professional account linked to that Page).
2. Click Connect Meta, sign in to Facebook, and grant access to the Page. Amazify Pro then lists the Page and its linked Instagram account as publish targets.

Per project you choose auto-publish (upload the moment the render finishes) or manual review (the MP4 waits on disk until you press Publish). Either way the finished file always lands in your output folder.

6. Create your first video

1. Click New Project.
2. Products: type a keyword (e.g. best air fryer 2026) and pick a storefront — the Playwright scraper pulls live titles, prices, ratings and images from any of 10 Amazon domains (.com, .co.uk, .de, .fr, .it, .es, .in, .ca, .com.au, .co.jp). Or paste exact ASINs / product URLs for full control. Enter your Amazon Associates tag once in Settings and it is injected into every product link automatically.
3. Template: choose one of the 5 templates — Countdown (Top-10 ranker), Shorts Hook (vertical scroll-stopper), Comparison (A vs B), Deal Alert (price-drop urgency) or Tier List.
4. Script & voice: pick the AI provider and a voice — Edge TTS gives 400+ free neural voices in 100+ languages; ElevenLabs adds premium voices and cloning; OpenAI TTS is also available.
5. Render options: format (16:9 long-form or 9:16 Shorts), resolution (720p–4K), captions on/off, B-roll, music, watermark, intro/outro.
6. Click Run. The queue shows each stage live: scrape → script → narration → render → thumbnail → publish. A typical Countdown video finishes in minutes, depending on length, resolution and your CPU.

7. AI Director

AI Director is the one-prompt front door to the whole pipeline. Open AI Director from the sidebar and describe the video in a sentence — for example: "A top 5 countdown of budget mechanical keyboards for the US storefront, energetic male voice, Shorts format."

The Director parses your prompt, picks the template, format and language, searches Amazon for top-rated ASINs in the niche, creates the project and queues the render. Review the plan it proposes before it runs, or let it go straight through. It needs a connected AI provider (any of the 7) to parse prompts.

8. Thumbnails & the canvas editor

Every render bakes a thumbnail using one of three engines:

• Sharp templates — free, offline, brand-colored layouts built from your product images.
• DALL-E 3 HD — AI-generated art via your OpenAI key.
• Flux Schnell — fast AI thumbnails via a Replicate key.

Any thumbnail can then be polished in the live canvas editor: drag text blocks, badges, arrows and product cutouts, then bake the overlay into the final PNG. The A/B engine can produce 3 variants and swap the live YouTube thumbnail so you can test which one pulls more clicks.

9. Captions

Captions are transcribed from the finished narration and burned into the video, word-timed and styled for sound-off viewing. Two engines:

• OpenAI Whisper API — fastest and most accurate; uses your OpenAI key.
• Local whisper.cpp — free and fully offline, CPU-based, with 5 model sizes from tiny to large-v3. Larger models are more accurate but slower.

Toggle captions per project in Render options. For Shorts and Reels we recommend leaving them on — most mobile viewers watch muted.

10. Scheduling & bulk operations

• Scheduled renders: set a future date and time on any project and the built-in cron scheduler runs it then — queue tonight's render for 3 AM, or drip a week of videos across the slots you pick. The app must be running (minimized to tray is fine).
• Bulk operations: multi-select projects in the library and run or delete them in one action. The queue grinds through the batch sequentially.
• CSV import: import a column of keywords and Amazify Pro creates one project per row with your default template and settings.
• Duplicate: clone a winning project with one click, swap the keyword, and re-run.

11. Brand presets

Open Settings → Brand presets to save a named snapshot of your intro, outro, watermark, fonts, colors, voice and music. Applying a preset restyles any project in one click — the fastest way to keep consistent branding across hundreds of videos, or to run multiple channels with distinct looks from one install.

12. Webhooks

Under Settings → Webhooks, register any HTTPS URL and pick which of the 6 lifecycle events should POST to it — including render started, render finished, render failed and video published. Each event delivers a JSON payload with the project id, template, output path and (after publishing) the platform URL. Point them at Zapier, Make, n8n, a Discord webhook or your own server.

13. Price-drop watcher

Amazify Pro re-checks the current Amazon price of every product you've featured once a day. When a price drops, you get a desktop notification with the product and the delta — a ready-made Deal Alert video. Open the project, duplicate it with the Deal Alert template, and the urgency angle writes itself. Enable or disable the watcher in Settings → Price watcher.

14. Moving your license to a new PC

1. On the old PC: open License → Deactivate & release seat. This unbinds the key from that machine's fingerprint.
2. On the new PC: install Amazify Pro, open the License page, and activate the same key.

No cost, no waiting, no support ticket needed. If the old machine died and you can't click Deactivate, email support@amazifypro.org with your license key and we'll release the seat manually.

15. Troubleshooting

A render fails partway through

Open the failed job in the queue and read the stage that errored. The most common causes: an AI provider key that's out of credit (script stage), a voice that doesn't support your script language (narration stage), or the output disk running out of space (render stage — 4K renders need several GB of temporary space). Fix the cause and click Retry; the pipeline resumes rather than starting over where it can. If it keeps failing, drop the resolution to 1080p to rule out memory pressure, and email the job log to support@amazifypro.org.

The Amazon scraper returns nothing or gets blocked

Amazon throttles automated traffic in waves. The scraper retries with backoff automatically, but if a keyword still fails: wait 15–30 minutes, keep batches modest, and avoid hammering one storefront from one IP all day. Two reliable workarounds: switch to Manual ASIN mode and paste the exact products you want, or add a proxy under Settings → Scraper → Proxy.

Publishing fails with an authorization error

OAuth tokens expire or get revoked — YouTube tokens die if the Google account password changes, and Meta tokens expire periodically by design. Open Settings → Publishing, click Reconnect on the affected platform, and sign in again. Then reopen the failed project and press Publish; the rendered MP4 is still on disk, so nothing re-renders.

License says "wrong machine"

The key is still bound to another PC. Release the seat from the other machine (License → Deactivate & release seat) or email support@amazifypro.org with your key.

Claude CLI provider shows "not detected"

Open a fresh terminal and run claude --version. If the command isn't found, reinstall the Claude Code CLI and sign in with claude; if it works in the terminal but not in the app, restart Amazify Pro so it picks up the updated PATH.

Still stuck? Email support@amazifypro.org with your app version (shown in the sidebar) and the job log. We respond within one business day — faster on Growth and MAX plans.
