Do I need my own music track to use this?
No, and there is no audio upload. Describe the video in a one-line prompt, then add music if you want it: pick from the library of 120 tracks in 10 moods, or choose Generate with AI on the create screen, describe a track, and it is ready in about 10 seconds. Music is optional.
What audio formats do you accept?
MakeAIVideo doesn't import audio files. Every soundtrack comes from the built-in library or the AI music generator on the create screen, and the finished video downloads as a 1080p MP4 with the music mixed in. To use your own song, add it over the export in your editor.
Can I use copyrighted music?
Not inside MakeAIVideo: there is no audio upload, and library tracks are licensed for use in your videos. If you add a song in another editor, platform Content ID will catch copyrighted music even if the visuals are original, so use music you own the rights to, or royalty-free instrumentals. If you're a musician adding your own single, you're clear to distribute the finished video anywhere.
How long can the music video be?
Up to 10 minutes on every plan for videos made with AI scenes, which is what most music videos use. Plus and Pro reach 40 minutes, but only for real-footage videos. Most music videos land in the 2 to 4 minute range, well inside every plan cap. See plan lengths on the pricing page.
What resolution do videos export at?
1080p HD MP4, watermark-free on every export. That's the standard for YouTube, TikTok, and Reels, so the export drops in wherever you post without any transcode step.
Which visual styles work best for music video?
Cinematic, Cyberpunk, and Retro VHS suit most music work. Cinematic reads for orchestral and singer-songwriter tracks; Cyberpunk and Retro VHS suit synth-heavy and electronic. All 15 styles work for music. The style applies to every AI scene, so pick it before you generate, and regenerate a single scene in the editor if one shot misses.
Can I edit the generated scenes?
Yes. Open the finished video in the built-in editor to regenerate a single scene, swap the track for another from the library or remove the music, or change the caption style if you show text on screen. Editing is optional; the default output is built to publish as-is.
How much does it cost?
Plans are a monthly subscription starting at $9 for the Lite plan (450 credits a month), then Solo $19 (1,000), Plus $29 (1,600) and Pro $49 (2,800). Your allowance refreshes each billing month. If a month runs heavy, top-up packs are a separate one-time purchase and those credits never expire. Generation cost scales with length and the style you pick. See MakeAIVideo plans and pricing.
How is this different from a text-to-video tool?
Text-to-video tools take a prompt and hand you one short clip; you'd still have to loop it, cut to your audio, and stitch scenes in an editor. MakeAIVideo runs the whole music video from one prompt: scene generation in your chosen style, a soundtrack from the library or generated with AI, and a 1080p render.
Can AI make a music video from just a song?
Not on MakeAIVideo, because there is no audio upload and scenes are not cut to a track's beat. What it does instead: you describe the video, it generates the scenes in one visual style with the voice off, and you lay your song over the 1080p export in your own editor.
Can an AI singer lip-sync to my song?
Not here. Lip-syncing a face to a sung vocal is a specialist job. Talking Avatar lip-syncs a presenter to a spoken script read by a voice from the library, which suits narration, not singing. AI talking avatar videos are the spoken version.
Do I need a separate tool to make the song?
No. On the create screen, Generate with AI makes a track from a description in about 10 seconds, at no credit cost, or you can pick from 120 library tracks in 10 moods. You only need another tool if you want a song with sung vocals.
Can I monetise an AI music video on YouTube?
The visuals you generate are yours to use, and library tracks are licensed for use in your videos. If you lay a track from somewhere else over the export, its rights decide what you can do: read that music tool's commercial licence first, because Content ID matches the audio whatever the visuals are.
Is there a free AI music video generator?
MakeAIVideo is a paid product, but new customers get a 7-day free trial: a card is required, nothing is charged today, and trial videos are capped at 10 seconds of script. Generating a track with AI costs no credits at any point. See plans and pricing.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Nothing is charged automatically and nothing is lost. Your account and finished videos stay exactly as they are. Buy another pack whenever you want to generate again.
