AI music video generator: create visuals for a sound or mood

A music video is the perfect format for AI: mood matters more than plot, and surreal imagery is an advantage. There is one limit to know about up front, which is syncing to your own track.

Two ways to work

Generate picture and sound together

Describe the song's feel along with the visuals: “dreamy synth-pop, slow beat”. The soundtrack is created with the video. It is the simplest route, and it works well for mood pieces and social clips.

Make visuals for your own song

Generate silent visuals, then lay your track over them in an editor. You cannot upload a track and have every frame match the beat exactly, so cut the clips to the rhythm in your editor.

Build a visual idea

Great music videos usually have one strong concept. Examples: a dancer in an empty city, one object changing through the decades, or a journey across one continuous landscape. Pick one idea, one palette and one style, then generate several clips in the same style.

Prompt to try

A lone dancer moves through an empty neon-lit car park in slow motion as rain falls upward around her. Steady orbiting camera, magenta and blue palette, dreamy synth-pop.

Rights

Use only music you own or have licensed, and do not imitate a real artist's voice or likeness.

Try it yourself

Try a free preview, no card needed. Videos up to 20 minutes long, with sound.
