Video Gen EditorHow to make a music video from audio
- 1
Attach your audio
Add your track by URL with the + button. Choose a section of up to 30 seconds: the intro, a verse, the chorus or the drop.
- 2
Describe the scene
Write the visuals and the energy: “Slow-motion dancer in a flooded warehouse, strobe light on the beat, blue and magenta haze.”

Generate and assemble
Make a clip for each section and line them up on your timeline. Need a shot to last longer? Use the AI video extender.
Video made from your audio, not cut to it
Plenty of tools cut stock footage to a beat. An audio-to-video model is different: it generates new frames with your track as an input. LTX-2.3 Fast takes a single audio file and merges it with the video it makes. Wan 3.0, MiniMax H3 and Seedance 2.5 take reference audio alongside reference images and videos, which helps when you also want the artist to look the same in every scene.
Ideas for AI music videos
- Performance: the artist (from a reference photo) singing on a rooftop, a stage or a moving train.
- Story: a short narrative told across verse and chorus, one scene per section.
- Abstract: fluid shapes, particles and light that react to the rhythm.
- Animated: anime, claymation, watercolour or pixel-art worlds.
- Visualizer: a looping animation of your cover art, made with the AI image to video tool.
Keeping a full-length video coherent
Plan it like a director would. Write a one-line idea for each part of the song, and reuse the same character, colours and style words in every prompt. Upload a reference image of the artist or the main character so faces stay consistent. Make two or three versions of each section and keep the strongest. For words on screen, use the lyric video generator.
Looking for a free AI music video generator?
Free tools usually add a watermark, cap the resolution or tie you to one model. We don't give videos away either, to be upfront about it. But signing up is free, you can try several leading models, and you'll see each clip's price before you make it, so your money only goes on the shots you want. For a wider comparison, see our guide to the best free AI video generators.

Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Signing up is free, and so is looking around: every model, setting and tool is open before you pay anything. Generating a video costs credits, and the price depends on the model, the length and the resolution. The estimate sits next to the Generate button, so you always see it before you commit. A quick 3-second test at 360p on Gemini Omni Flash costs about $0.09.
Can AI make a music video from my song?
Yes. Attach your track, describe the visuals, and an audio-to-video model generates a clip with your music on it. Make one clip per section and edit them together for the full video.
Which model should I use?
Start with LTX-2.3 Fast. It takes an audio file directly and it's fast and cheap. For scenes with recurring characters, try Wan 3.0, MiniMax H3 or Seedance 2.5 with reference audio and a reference image.
How long can each clip be?
Audio-driven clips use up to 30 seconds of audio at a time. Clip length depends on the model; LTX-2.3 Fast makes clips of up to 20 seconds.
Do I own the music video?
Your music stays yours. You can use the generated visuals under each model provider's terms, including on YouTube and streaming platforms.
