AI Music Video
Turn any song into a vertical AI music video with animated lyrics synced line by line, ready to share to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
Turn a song you already made on CreateYourMusic.ai into a shareable vertical video, with your lyrics animating line by line in time with the music. You start from a track in your library, then use the AI Music Video tool to pick the part to feature, choose a look, and download a clip that is ready to post.
How to make a music video from your song
This music video maker walks you from a finished song to a downloadable vertical clip in a few steps.
Select a song
Open the AI Music Video tool. The empty state reads "Create Your Video Clip" and asks you to "Select a song from your library to start creating a video."
Click Select a Song to open a searchable list of your tracks, each showing its title, duration, description, and genre tags. Pick the one you want to turn into a music video.
You make the song first, then make the video from it. New here? Start with Getting Started, and if you do not have a track yet, create one with the AI Music Generator using the "Create one with AI Music Generator" link in the empty state.
Choose the part to feature
A short vertical clip is more shareable than a full song, so you choose which part to feature. At the bottom of the editor you get a waveform timeline. In By Duration mode, drag a time range across the waveform to set your segment, for example from 01:14 to 01:48. The preview above updates with the song title, artist, cover art, and the lyrics animating in sync.
Prefer to pick by words instead of time? Switch to By Lyrics mode, covered just below.
Pick a template
Open the Templates panel to choose a video style. Golden Hour gives a warm, golden look. Cosmic is dark with a starry purple feel. Minimal Dark is clean and understated. Switching templates restyles the whole video, including the background behind your animated lyrics, so try a few and see which one fits the mood of the song.
Download and share
When the preview looks right, click Download in the header to export your finished video. It comes out in vertical (portrait) format, so it drops straight into your phone and onto TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Stories.
Clip to the exact lyric you want
Some moments in a song deserve their own video. Maybe it is the chorus everyone sings along to, or one line that lands hard. In By Lyrics mode, you choose those moments by the words themselves.
Open the Select lyrics range panel and you will see every lyric line listed with a checkbox. Check the lines you want, and the clip becomes exactly those lines, nothing more. The lyrics still animate in time with the music, so the video starts and ends right where the words do.
This is the fastest way to make a tight lyric video out of the strongest part of your song.
For the most shareable clip, switch to By Lyrics and check just the chorus. That usually lands you a focused 20 to 30 second lyric video, the sweet spot for TikTok and Reels.
Made for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts
Every clip you download is a vertical music video, the same portrait shape these apps are built around. That means no cropping or reformatting before you post.
- TikTok: upload it straight to your feed.
- Instagram Reels and Stories: the portrait format fills the screen.
- YouTube Shorts: share your song where short vertical videos get discovered.
You get a real video file to download, so you stay in control of when and where it goes.
FAQ
Do I need my own song first?
Yes. The AI Music Video tool turns a song from your library into a video, so you make the track first with the AI Music Generator, then select it to start creating. If you have no songs yet, the empty state gives you a link to create one.
Can I choose which lyrics appear?
Yes. Switch the timeline to By Lyrics mode and open the Select lyrics range panel. Check the lyric lines you want, and the video matches exactly those lines. It is an easy way to build a lyric video around the chorus or a single standout line.
What video styles are available?
The Templates panel offers three styles: Golden Hour (warm and golden), Cosmic (dark with starry purple), and Minimal Dark (clean and dark). Each one restyles the whole video, including the background and the look of the animated lyrics.
Can I share the video on TikTok or Instagram?
Yes. The video downloads in vertical (portrait) format, which fits TikTok, Instagram Reels and Stories, and YouTube Shorts. Click Download, then post the file like any other video.
