On MakeViral you add your track, pick 15, 30 or 60 seconds of it, and choose a look. The AI listens to the lyrics, writes a shot list, and cuts every clip on the beat, with your song under it. Add your song. The AI finds the best part, listens to the lyrics, and makes a new clip every few beats, cut exactly on the beat, with your track playing under it.

One finished video for one part of your song. Not a slideshow, not a waveform, not a lyric video: a row of short, newly generated clips that change on the beat while your music plays. | What you choose | What you get | |---|---| | A part of the song: 15, 30 or 60 seconds | A video exactly that long, ending with a short fade | | A style: Cinematic, Anime, Lo-fi, 3D cartoon, Neon city, Dreamy, Synthwave, Pixel art, Claymation, Storybook, Dark fantasy, Nature, Concert stage or Retro VHS, or your own in up to 200 characters | Every clip made in that look | | One photo of yourself, or none | The same person in every shot, or no fixed person | | 9:16 Vertical or 16:9 Wide | A vertical video for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, or a wide music video for YouTube | The file is a 720p MP4. Your song is the sound, at full volume and untouched in the middle. The AI is told to add no text and no logos to the clips, so the frame stays clean for your own title or caption. ### What it does not do - **It does not lip sync.** Nobody in the clips sings your words. The clips follow the mood and the story of the lyrics, not the mouth movements. - **The full song has a limit.** Full song works for a song of up to 6 minutes. For a longer track, pick a part of 15, 30 or 60 seconds. - **It does not read streaming links.** Add a file, or paste a direct link that ends in an audio file. ## How does the AI follow your song? Music to video AI has to do more than lay clips over a track. Five steps run after you tap Create. You do not see any of them, but each one is why the video feels made for the track and not laid over it. 1. **It finds the beat.** Your browser reads the song and detects the tempo, between 70 and 180 BPM, then a grid of beat times inside your part. The server checks those times again. When a song has no clear beat, it cuts at an even pace instead. 2. **It listens.** Speech recognition reads the lyrics in your part, and the language. An instrumental works too: then the sound and the style set the mood. 3. **It writes a shot list.** An AI writer plans one visual line per shot, in your style, following the mood and the story of the lyrics. Every shot is 2 to 5 seconds and starts on a beat: a cut every 2, 4 or 8 beats, depending on the tempo. 4. **It makes the clips.** Each shot becomes a short AI video clip, at the quality you pick: Fast, Standard or Best. Each quality has a backup model that tries again when a clip fails. 5. **It cuts them together.** The clips are trimmed to the shot lengths and joined with hard cuts that land on the beat times. Your song plays under them, with a short fade at the very end. If a clip still fails after the backup, its credits come back to you. ## Which AI music video style fits your track? Pick one style for the whole video. These are starting points, not rules: a ballad in Neon city can look great. | Style | What the clips look like | Often fits | |---|---|---| | Cinematic | Film light, real places, slow camera moves | Ballads, indie, pop, soundtracks | | Anime | Hand-drawn anime frames, bold color | J-pop, emotional pop, game music | | Lo-fi | A cozy anime room, rain on the window, a warm lamp, a slow camera | Lo-fi beats, study and chill tracks | | 3D cartoon | Bright 3D animated figures and soft round shapes | Songs for kids, funny tracks, upbeat pop | | Neon city | Night streets, rain, neon light | EDM, hip hop, trap | | Dreamy | Soft light, haze, pastel color | Bedroom pop, acoustic, R&B | | Synthwave | A neon 80s sunset, a glowing grid, chrome | Synthwave, retro electronic, outrun | | Pixel art | A 16-bit game world in pixels | Chiptune, game music, playful electronic | | Claymation | Handmade clay figures, stop-motion movement | Indie, folk, quirky pop | | Storybook | Watercolor picture-book paintings | Lullabies, acoustic, story songs | | Dark fantasy | Misty forests, castles, moonlight | Metal, epic and orchestral tracks, dark pop | | Nature | Calm landscapes, water and sky, a slow camera | Ambient, piano, meditation music | | Concert stage | Stage lights, smoke, a crowd | Rock, pop anthems, anything made to be played live | | Retro VHS | Tape grain, 80s and 90s color | Throwback tracks, indie, hyperpop | None of these fits? Pick "Your own style" and describe the look in your own words (up to 200 characters). It is saved, so it is there for your next song, and it costs the same. Not sure? Make the same part twice in two styles and post the one your audience keeps watching. ## Can you star in your own AI music video? Yes. Add one clear photo of your face and the AI keeps that person in every shot: the same face from the first cut to the last, in the style you picked. It works well for an artist who wants to be in the video without a shoot, which is the main reason to use an AI music video maker. Leave the photo out and the video has no fixed person. The shots follow the song with places, objects, crowds and changing characters. That suits instrumentals, DJ sets and tracks where the music is the star. Use a photo of yourself, or of someone who said yes. ## Can you use any song? Use music you made or have the right to use. The video keeps your song as its sound, so the rules of the platform where you post it still apply to the music. Add the song as an MP3, M4A, WAV or AAC file of up to 25 MB and 10 minutes, or paste a direct link to an audio file. Links to video sites and streaming services do not work: the generator needs the audio file itself. ## What the ai music video generator: new clips cut on the beat of your song does for you - **Cuts on the beat.** The tempo and the beat times come from your song, and every cut lands on one of them. - **Shots that follow the lyrics.** The AI listens to the words in your part, so the shots tell the same story as the song. - **The best part, picked for you.** The window starts on the loudest part after the intro, usually the chorus. Drag it anywhere. - **14 looks, or your own.** Cinematic, Anime, Lo-fi, 3D cartoon, Neon city, Dreamy, Synthwave, Pixel art, Claymation, Storybook, Dark fantasy, Nature, Concert stage or Retro VHS. Or describe your own style; it is saved for next time. One tap sets the look of every clip. - **You in every shot.** Add one photo and the same face stays in the whole video. Or add none. - **Credits back on a failed clip.** A clip that fails is tried again with a backup model. If it still fails, its credits come back. ## How it works 1. **Add your song.** Drop an MP3, M4A, WAV or AAC file of up to 25 MB, or paste a direct audio link. The name and length show at once. 2. **Pick the part.** A waveform shows the song with a 15, 30 or 60 seconds window on the best part. Drag it, then play it to check. 3. **Make it yours.** Pick a look or your own style, and 9:16 Vertical or 16:9 Wide for YouTube. Add one photo to star in it, or skip it. 4. **Create and download.** Price shown before you create, from 35 credits for 15 seconds. Tap Create, and download a 720p MP4 when the video is ready. ## Who it is for Independent artists · Rappers and singers · Producers · DJs · Bands · Music promoters · AI music creators · Cover artists ## Frequently asked questions ### Is this AI music video generator free?
