I'll share some of the most popular and powerful AI video generators that are likely to lead the market in 2025.
AI video generators have seen impressive advancements in 2024. The quality has improved so much in recent months that creators are finding new, creative ways to generate content like movie trailers, short animated clips, promotional ads, and music videos.
One industry that could be significantly transformed by AI video technology is the music industry. Beyond just the music itself, the way music videos are produced is also being revolutionized by AI.
Today, you can create music videos from home with just a laptop and an internet connection — no need for expensive equipment, actors, or deep experience with video editing software.
In this article, I’ll share some of the most popular and powerful AI video generators that are likely to lead the market in 2025. I’ll explain each tool, show example videos, and cover the costs involved.
Let’s get started.
Runway is currently one of the most popular AI video generators because of its powerful Gen-3 Alpha video model.
The first model, Gen-1, launched in 2022, allowed users to create videos from text prompts or reference images. Now, Gen-3 Alpha provides even greater fidelity and control, enabling users to generate videos in any style they choose.
You can find sample music videos under the “Runway Watch” tab in the “Music Videos” section.
To create your own music video, go to the “Tools” section and click “Generate Video.” From there, you can start with either a reference image or a text prompt.
There are many ways to generate an image with AI. You can use Flux Labs AI to create the first frame of your music video using the FLux 1.1 Pro Ultra model. Upload the image on Runway and set the parameters before generating your video.
After you click “Generate,” Runway will create a 10-second video clip. You can stitch these clips together and add music to complete your video.
Here’s an example:
In terms of pricing, here are the details of the monthly subscription:
Annual plans include a 20% discount.
Kling AI is newer in the AI video scene, but they are currently one of the best out there. The speed at which they develop and release new features is incredibly fast.
Here’s what the dashboard looks like:
In my previous articles, I have already talked about a cool trick where you can use Kling AI to create talking AI influencers.
Kling AI also works well for creating music videos. In the text-to-video tool dashboard, just describe the video you want to create, and Kling will generate a 5-second clip.
You can stitch these together and add music to make a full music video. When it comes to pricing, Kling offers free daily credits, but you can subscribe to paid tiers if you need more.
Standard—$3.88 per month (first month), then $8.8/month:
Pro — $12.88 per month (first month), then $32.56/month:
Premier—$28.88 per month (first month), then $80.96/month:
Each plan has a first-time subscription discount and 12% off if paid monthly after the first month.
Pika is a generative AI platform that allows you to create videos from text or image input. The tool isn’t new to the AI video scene. They launched their 1.0 model back in December last year.
Recently, the Pika 1.5 model was released, and it’s packed with some incredible features:
The video generator dashboard is pretty basic. You have the prompt field on the bottom section and a tab for your generated videos and community-generated videos in the center.
Generate more videos like this and add pop music, and you get yourself a really nice looking music video.
If you run out of credits, you can opt to upgrade to a paid subscription. Pika’s pricing is pretty straightforward, and there’s a plan for just about everyone.
Now, keep in mind that video credits don’t roll over month-to-month, which is a bit of a downside if you don’t use them all.
RenderNet AI is probably one of the most versatile AI video generators. It specializes in creating consistent characters, but now it’s proving to be really good in music video generation too.
The platform has tools that allow you to create unique, dynamic videos with multiple character copies and music overlays.
Create multiple copies of the moving character, stitch them together, add music, and you’ll get your music video in the end.
You can watch the full demo here:
Regarding the pricing, RenderNet offers a free plan that provides 50 credits per month. If this number of credits isn’t enough, you can choose to upgrade your account with one of the following subscription tiers.
If you choose to subscribe annually, you’ll receive a 20% discount on any plan, which is a solid deal if you’re a regular user of the platform.
Sora isn’t accessible to the public yet, but it’s one of the most promising AI video generators based on the sample videos released by OpenAI.
There’s no word yet from OpenAI on a release date or pricing.
All the tools I laid out above are effective, but they require a certain level of experience and expertise to get the best results.
If you’re not interested in learning all the techniques or investing in multiple subscriptions to produce a decent music video, you might consider hiring someone to do it for you.
Fiverr, the largest freelance platform, recently launched an AI service specifically for the AI music video category. On the platform, you’ll find numerous examples from hundreds of freelancers offering their services.
Go explore the gigs and choose the one that best fits your requirements. For instance, the Dor Brothers are among the most popular AI video creators on X, and they also offer their services on Fiverr.
Having produced 200+ AI music videos, presented at top events for renowned companies like Microsoft, gained 100,000,000+ views, made videos for legends such as Snoop Dogg and consistently delivered exceptional customer satisfaction. — Dor Brothers

The creative world is about to undergo significant changes, and music video production is definitely part of that shift. According to a Europol report, AI-generated content could make up 90% of what we see online within the next decade.
Still, human-made music videos have something special that AI can’t fully match. Real artists bring a personal touch, emotion, and creativity that synthetic content often lacks. That said, we’re likely to see more AI-generated content online simply because its novelty will attract attention and interest.
Automation may lead to some job displacement, but it’s not all doom and gloom. In fact, AI is sparking new opportunities. These tools aren’t entirely self-sufficient—they still rely on human guidance and skill to create high-quality results.
So as AI-made music videos gain popularity, there’s space for a new kind of expert: those who know how to use these tools creatively and effectively.
Ultimately, it’s a matter of perspective.
Technology will keep moving forward, and those who adapt will stay ahead. Like I always say, AI is just a tool for those open to it—it only feels like a threat if you resist it.
