Here's a step-by-step guide in creating music videos in minutes using AI.
AI video generators have come a long way in just a few months. Not long ago, AI video generators were producing clunky, unsettling results with glaring anatomical errors and awkwardly animated characters.
But now, the technology has improved so much that some videos can actually look realistic enough to fool thousands of people online.
One interesting way people are using AI video generators is producing music videos. Oh yes, you can now create cool, professional-looking music videos right from your laptop, using just an internet connection and a big dose of creativity.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps to create your own music video using two AI tools—RenderNet AI and Suno AI.
Let’s get started.
RenderNet is an AI platform that helps people create virtual influencers and characters. It comes with tools for customizing poses, making videos, and even adding narration to content.
The platform is specifically designed for creators who want to make unique, realistic-looking virtual characters without needing a huge budget or technical skills.
What’s great about RenderNet is that it has features like FaceLock, ControlNet, and multi-model generation, which make it easy to create consistent characters and unique images.
These tools allow you to create characters that look consistent across multiple images or scenes, which is perfect for a music video.
Plus, RenderNet can generate high-quality AI images with the latest models and even fine-tune video models to make videos of almost any character you can think of.
Suno AI is another AI-powered platform, but this one focuses on generating music and audio. It lets you create songs just by typing in a short description. This is really helpful if you need background music or a soundtrack but don’t have the equipment or skills to make it yourself.
One of the best parts about Suno is that you own the audio files you generate. You can use them in your projects, like a music video, and upload them on social media or other platforms.
This is a big plus, as it gives creators more freedom to experiment and share their work without worrying about ownership or copyright.
To start creating your music video, go to the RenderNet website and create a free account. After logging in, open the canvas page to start making images that will serve as the starting frames for each scene in your video.
Here’s an example:
Prompt: a young female, south american, young adult, normal body, thick pink hair, wearing loose sleeveless, white clothes, loose red pants ^Jane^ big crowd in the background. posing like a dancer. Full body shot in the streets of new york
Feel free to play around with different settings in the prompt, like changing the background, the character’s pose, or other details. The idea here is to get creative and find frames that capture the mood of your music video.
You can also use other popular AI image generators like Flux Labs AI to generate your images and upload them on RenderNet.
Once you’ve created some images you’re happy with, pick at least five frames that look the best. Right-click on each one and choose “Use in Video Anyone.”
RenderNet will ask you to crop the image to fit a supported aspect ratio. Adjust the zoom and framing to your liking.
After that, click “Done,” and the frame will move to the “Video Anyone” tab.
Here, you can set the length of the video (between 5 and 10 seconds) and adjust other settings to make the video look right. When you’re satisfied with the settings, click “Generate” to start the video creation process.
Keep in mind that this might take a few minutes depending on the duration you selected.
Repeat this for all the frames you want to include. When all of the video scenes are ready, download them to your device. You’ll need these for the next steps.
If you already have your own music, you can skip this part. But if not, Suno AI can help you create a unique track for your video.
Head over to suno.com and create an account for free. Once you’re logged in, enter the description of the music you want to create. For example, we want upbeat music for our workout music video:
Prompt: A music for your workout. It’s an upbeat song for a dance workout
Suno is pretty fast. It usually takes less than a minute to generate a song, and each track is over two minutes long, which is great for a music video.
The quality is surprisingly good too, especially for something generated so quickly.
You can also choose to extend it if you need a longer version of the music video.
Once you have the music, download it to your computer. Now you’re ready to put everything together!
To combine the video scenes with the music, you’ll need a video editing app. If you don’t have one installed, free options like CapCut or ClipChamp are great for beginners and have plenty of editing tools.
Start by importing all of your video clips and the music track into the editor. Arrange the scenes in the order that you want them to play in the video.
You can also add transitions and effects between scenes to make the video feel more polished and dynamic. This can add a lot of energy and flow to your music video, helping each scene transition smoothly.
When you’re happy with the arrangement and effects, preview the video to make sure everything syncs well. Once it’s ready, export the final video in HD. Here’s what the result might look like:
Isn’t that incredible? I was able to produce a full-blown music video in a matter of minutes, and all the video and music files are all unique and free for commercial use.
RenderNet offers a free plan with 50 credits per month. This is enough for small projects or testing out the platform. If you need more, you can choose from several subscription options:
If you plan to use RenderNet frequently, the annual plan is a good option because you save 20% on any plan when paying annually. This could be worth it if you’re a regular user.
It’s pretty wild how easy it is to create a music video with AI tools now.
Just a few years ago, something like this would’ve taken a team and a big budget.
With just a few tools like RenderNet and Suno, anyone can create something unique and put it out there in a matter of minutes.
For indie musicians or creatives who need to put out content fast, this is huge. Imagine if you’re a songwriter with a cool idea but no production crew or extra cash—AI tools could be very handy for getting that vision out there fast and cheap.
And yeah, I can see that the quality still has that synthetic look, but the quality is improving fast. In a few months or maybe a year, these videos might look just as good and polished as ones made in a studio. It’s exciting to think about where this technology could go.
Of course, there’s the other side of it too. There’s a real risk of bad actors misusing this tech to create harmful or inappropriate content.
Also, there’s an ongoing debate about the licensing of content generated with AI. Do you really own the content generated by an AI model that’s trained on somebody else’s data?
