How to Create Stunning AI Music Videos: A Step-by-Step Guide

Welcome to AIDIY.tech! If you’ve ever dreamed of creating mesmerizing AI music videos but didn’t know where to start, this guide is for you. We’ll walk you through the process using AI tools and software, highlighting tips and tricks to get the best results without breaking the bank. I'm also going to use this to shortcut what I do in the video.

Part 1: Choosing Your Tools Before diving into creation, you’ll need a set of tools. Here’s what I use:

• ChatGPT For generating lyrics and prompts. (

• Suno/Udio: For producing music. Both offer free credits but have varying terms for publishing.

• Leonardo AI: To create consistent and high-quality images for animation.

• Runway V3: For animating images into short video clips.

• Canva: For supplemental assets and quick editing.

• DaVinci Resolve: A powerful (and free) video editing software.
  

Most of these tools have free versions to get you started.

Part 2: Creating Your Song

The foundation of your video is the music. Using tools like Suno or Udio, you can produce instrumental tracks or full songs. Here’s a quick outline: https://suno.com/ https://www.udio.com/

1. Compose or Generate Music: Use Suno or Udio to create your song. Experiment to find your unique sound.

2. Refine Your Track: Tweak the composition if needed, ensuring it aligns with the visuals you plan to create.
   

Part 3: Generating Base Images

High-quality base images are essential for creating animations. Here’s how to get started: https://app.leonardo.ai/

(As of now, the internet provides what is an almost unlimited supply of text to image solutions that you can use. I use Leonardo.)

1. Leonardo AI: This tool excels in producing consistent and detailed images.

   • Start by creating a single image.

   • Use the “Style Reference” feature to ensure all subsequent images match your theme.

     
     

     

     
     

2. Experiment with Prompts: If you struggle with prompts, let ChatGPT generate them. For instance, ask it to create a scene of “a humanoid monster dancing in a nightclub.”

3. Optimize for Animation: Generate additional angles or variations of your characters and settings to ensure smooth transitions in animations.
   

Part 4: Animating Your Images

Bring your static images to life using tools like Runway V3:

1. Upload Your Images: Select the image you want to animate and load it into Runway V3.

2. Add Motion: Use prompts to guide the animation (e.g., “a humanoid dancing hard in an EDM club”).

3. Manage Credits Wisely: Start with shorter animations (5 seconds) to test the output before committing to longer clips.
   

   
   

   

   
   

Part 5: Enhancing with Canva

Canva is a lifesaver for adding supplemental assets to your project: https://www.canva.com/

1. Explore Stock Assets: Search for graphics, videos, or audio that complement your theme.

2. Set Videos as Backgrounds: Quickly create dynamic layers by setting video assets as backgrounds.

3. Organize Your Files: Use descriptive names for your assets to streamline the editing process.

4. Tip: Try to keep a similar style in the stock video for what you are planning to use as a style in the video. If the style doesn't exist, try playing around with color options and edits within Canva
   

Part 6: Editing Your Video

Editing is where everything comes together. I recommend DaVinci Resolve for its balance of power and accessibility: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/event/davinciresolvedownload

1. Import Your Assets: Drag and drop your images, videos, and audio into the media pool.

2. Align Clips with Music: Use the timeline to sync visuals with your soundtrack.

3. Polish Transitions: Use tools like the equalizer to remove black bars and ensure seamless transitions.
   

   
   

Bonus Tips for Beginners

• Budget-Friendly Options: Start with free versions of the tools to explore their capabilities.

• Stay Organized: Keep your project files labeled and structured to save time during editing.

• Learn from Tutorials: Don’t hesitate to look up additional guides on YouTube for advanced techniques.
