How to make an AI music video, step by step

1. Start from the track

Upload your song so the workflow can read its structure — mood, tempo, and sections. Verses, hooks, and bridges become natural scene boundaries, so the visuals follow the music instead of fighting it.

  • Transcribe lyrics and detect tempo and mood.
  • Let the song structure suggest scene lengths.
  • Decide the look and references before generating.

2. Storyboard before you spend

Plan each scene with a duration, a shot prompt, and camera notes. Reviewing a storyboard first is the single biggest way to avoid wasted generation credits and a disconnected final video.

  • Write a shot prompt per scene.
  • Attach cast and location references.
  • Confirm timing against the track.

3. Generate, route, and finish

Generate takes scene by scene, routing each shot to the provider that fits it, then assemble the cut on a timeline with captions and audio sync. Compare takes and regenerate one scene without losing the rest of the edit.

  • Route shots per scene for cost and quality.
  • Compare takes and keep the best.
  • Export a synced, captioned cut.

Questions

Common questions.

Do I need editing experience to make an AI music video?

No. The guided Source → Plan → Generate → Review → Export path walks you through each step, and the timeline handles assembly and audio sync.

How do I stop the video from looking like disconnected clips?

Plan scenes first and attach continuity anchors for recurring cast and locations so the visuals read as one piece.
