AI Music Video Generator

Quick answer: SceneMixer is not a tool that takes your song and cuts pictures to it. It does not accept a song as the thing a video is built around, it does not find the beat, and it does not time lyrics to a vocal. What it makes is the picture side: a story told in scenes, with characters who look the same in every shot, in segments of 15 or 30 seconds. You can write those scenes from your lyrics, download the video with the built-in score switched off, and lay your own track under it in any video editor. So it suits a narrative music video, where verses become scenes; it does not suit a lyric video with timed words or a beat-reactive visualiser.

Four things people mean, and what happens to each

You mean…HereWhy
Upload my song and get a video timed to itNot possibleThe inputs are text, up to four ad photos and one video. A song is not an input, and nothing detects a beat or a verse.
Turn my lyrics into a story with picturesYesWrite the story the lyrics tell as text. It is read into a cast, places and a numbered storyboard, then rendered.
Words on screen, timed to the singing (a lyric video)Not timedA short phrase can be written into a shot as an on-screen caption. Word-by-word timing against a vocal is done in an editor, where the song is.
An artist performing the songNot your recordingA character can be shown singing in a shot, but the sound is not your vocal and nothing lines the mouth up to your track. A real artist’s face is not accepted: the IP check refuses celebrity images.

If the song must drive the picture, you need a tool that reads audio. If the picture must tell a story, read on. What you can feed in.

What SceneMixer does with sound

Four kinds of sound exist here, and none of them is a song you supply.

  • The built-in score. Once an episode’s first shot is generated, the site plans music from the storyboard (which mood each stretch needs, where it turns), picks a piece for each stretch and mixes it under the voices. There is no track picker, no volume control and no request box. A Music switch beside the player turns it off, and a download with it off is the dialogue version without music. How the score works.
  • Spoken lines. Each character has a voice, in any of 15 languages, and a shot with no dialogue has no voice at all; what you hear is the ambience written into that shot. Dialogue and sound in one generation.
  • A character’s voice sample. Members can upload a short clip as the reference for how a character speaks. It is a speaking-voice reference, not a track to lay under pictures. How character voices work.
  • The sound of a video you upload. In a remake, the clip’s speech is transcribed and the music is described, and that description sets the tone of the new episode’s own score. The source track itself is never used. How a remake reads dialogue and music.

A narrative music video in six steps

  1. Mark the song. Write down where the verses, choruses and bridge start, in seconds. That list is your structure.
  2. Write the story the song tells. One place and one beat per segment. Give the lyrics as the idea; do not paste them as spoken lines, because spoken lines are voiced.
  3. Pick the type. A Short Drama episode runs up to 240 seconds, a TV Series episode up to 300, and a Film has no cap, so most songs fit one episode.
  4. Choose the segment length. Step 3 has a segment-length switch: 15 seconds as standard, or up to 30 for a long take on the tiers that allow it. A 30-second verse is two short segments or one long one.
  5. Write silent shots. Leave out dialogue, add an Ambient: line, and read the storyboard before you render. Editing text is free.
  6. Render, download with Music off, finish in an editor. Put the song under the picture, trim each segment’s start or end to land on the beats, and add timed lyrics there. Trimming a clip.

From song sections to segments

Song partTypical lengthSegments of 15 sWhat to put in the storyboard
Intro10–15 s1The place, empty or just waking. No lines.
Verse30–45 s2–3One story beat per segment; keep the same place within a segment.
Chorus20–30 s2The image that repeats. Return to the same location each time so the chorus reads as a refrain.
Bridge15–30 s1–2The turn: a new place, a new light, a change in who is on screen.
Outro10–15 s1The last image. A held look, not a new event.

The typical lengths are ordinary song structure, not a product rule. The only fixed numbers are the segment sizes and the episode caps above. Shot seconds and timing.

A lyric turned into shots

Take an invented chorus line: “The porch light stays on for the one who left.” As a story beat it becomes images, not a sung line. Three shots, twelve seconds, no spoken words:

BeatShot
The porch[Shot 1] 4s: Wide shot, a porch at dusk, the light on, an empty chair. Ambient: crickets, a screen door ticking in the wind.
The waiting[Shot 2] 4s: Close-up on @Nora at the window, watching the road. Ambient: a clock.
The return of the chorus[Shot 3] 4s: Wide shot, the same porch at dawn, the light still on.

The same porch comes back each time the chorus does, which is how a repeated lyric becomes a repeated image. The shot format · A stage-and-studio story.

Length and cost

Video is charged per finished second: 10 credits a second on the default tier (about $0.06 a second at the lowest credit price), plus 1 credit a second to join. A three-minute video is 180 of those seconds. New accounts start with 50 credits, the first 15 setup images are free, the first storyboard on your first drama is free and a 5-second preview is free, so you can draw the cast and read the whole storyboard before spending on video. Where credits go in one episode.

In SceneMixer vs. stitching tools together

Most AI drama workflows are five or six tools in a row. This is where each step happens here, and what it replaces.

StepIn SceneMixerDoing it by hand with separate tools
Script and episode planPaste a script or a novel, or type one line: it is read into a cast, locations, props and an episode outline you can editA chat model writes the script; you split it into episodes and carry the text from tool to tool
Character faces and placesEvery character, location and prop is drawn once as a reference sheet and attached to every shot it appears inAn image model, one sheet at a time; you upload the right reference to every clip yourself
ShotsA storyboard per episode with numbered shots and seconds; video is generated segment by segment in 9:16 or 16:9 against the same sheetsA video model, one clip per prompt, describing the same people again each time
Voices and dialogueLines are performed in the video itself, one voice per character, in any of 15 languagesA text-to-speech tool for each line, then a lip-sync pass on every clip
Fixing one shotEdit that shot's text and regenerate the segment alone; the rest of the episode is untouchedRegenerate the clip, then re-cut the timeline
FinishingSegments are composited into one episode file with its score; members download without the AI badgeA video editor to join the clips, add music and captions, then export
PublishingYou upload the finished episode to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram or anywhere else; nothing is posted for youUpload by hand, the same as here

FAQ

Can I upload my own song?

No. A song is not an input: SceneMixer takes text, up to four ad photos or one video. To use your own track, download the finished video with the score off and lay the song under it in an editor.

Does it sync the video to the beat?

No. Nothing here analyses a song for its beat, so cuts are not placed on it. You trim segments to the beat in an editor after download.

Can it make a lyric video?

Not with words timed to a vocal. Short phrases can be written into a shot as on-screen captions; timed lyrics are added in an editor.

Can it write the song?

No. It plans and mixes a background score for each episode from the storyboard, with no track picker and no request box.

Can a character sing my song?

A character can be shown singing in a shot, but the sound is not your recording and no lip-sync to your track is done.

How long can a music video be?

A Short Drama episode runs up to 240 seconds, a TV Series episode up to 300 and a Film has no cap. Each segment is 15 or 30 seconds.

Can I make it vertical for TikTok or Reels?

Yes. Choose 9:16 Portrait in Step 1. On a phone it is the default.

How much does a music video cost?

Video is 10 credits a second on the default tier plus 1 credit a second to join. The first 15 setup images, the first storyboard and a 5-second preview are free.
