Artificial intelligence is no longer just a buzzword from science fiction. Today, it is a powerful tool that can help you create a full-fledged music video from scratch, even if you are neither a musician nor a video editor. Let’s try to walk this path together.

Step 1: Generating the song

Let’s start with music. Today, there are several outstanding platforms that allow you to create an original song in particular:

Suno.com is a favorite tool of many creators. It creates colorful music with AI text, rhythm and vocals. Compositions in 80s style, synthesizer pop or dance tracks sound especially effective.
Yudio is ideal for creating realistic music that is hard to distinguish from the work of a human composer.

Both platforms allow you to generate tracks for free (up to 10 songs per day), making them accessible to everyone.

Step 2: Finding a visual style

Music is only half the story. For visuals, you need images that best convey the atmosphere of your song. This is where image generators come to the rescue:

Midjourney – suitable for photorealistic scenes. Ideal for retro aesthetics, club atmospheres and “live” characters.
Leonardo.ai or Bing Image Creator – good free alternatives for creating illustrations or stylized shots.
DALL-E 3 is another powerful player that is powered by OpenAI.

The secret is to use the lyrics of the song as a cue to generate images. For example, if you have the line “Plugging in my first computer”, you can create a scene with a retro 80s computer.

Step 3: Animation via Dream Machine

Do you have pictures? Turn them into videos! The Luma Dream Machine platform allows you to upload an image and create a short clip based on it. The free plan includes up to 30 generations per month.

Tip: use the same text cues for Dream Machine as for Midjourney. This allows you to achieve consistency between static frames and video.

Step 4: Montage in DaVinci Resolve

Once you’ve assembled your song and video clips, move on to editing. DaVinci Resolve is a powerful free editor available for Windows and macOS.

Key Points:

Place the video to the beat of the music, focusing on rhythmic peaks.
Vary frames every second or every 2 seconds, depending on the tempo.
Insert scenes of people dancing between technical images – this will add dynamics and rhythm.

Step 5: Export and Showcase

Once the editing is complete – export the video, upload it to YouTube, TikTok or Instagram. Name it Binary Dreams, for example, and watch your audience’s reaction.

Output

Using Suno, Midjourney, Dream Machine, and DaVinci tools, you can create a quality music video without the need for a studio or professional team. Remember: all of this is just the beginning. There are more AI tools ahead that will expand your creative possibilities.
