Make a visual story for the song you wrote. Pick the verse or hook that sets the scene, add a lead character photo, and direct the look from storyboard to finished video.
Decide whose story the camera follows, where it begins, and how the visuals change when the hook arrives.
Input settingsSketch the story as a sequence of scenes.
Set the look of each scene with a still.
Animate the shots for your song.
Join the scenes to the soundtrack.
A full song can take more than 15 minutes. You can leave this page and return to your saved task.
Watch for the change of setting: the first shots keep returning to the pool, then the view opens onto the sea. For your own song, try a similarly simple rule: stay close to the character through the verse, then reveal a wider setting when the chorus lands.

Decide whose story the camera follows, where it begins, and how the visuals change when the hook arrives.
Play back your waveform selection before generating. Use a full recording up to six minutes, or isolate the line or chorus that gives the video its direction. For a chorus teaser, start the selection a beat before the first sung word so the opening has room to breathe. Listen through the end point as well. A clean phrase ending usually makes a better cut than a fixed number of seconds.
Add a portrait, then describe the setting and what the character does there. Give a turning point in the song its own shot or change of lighting. Give the model one repeatable detail, such as a rust-red coat or a paper lantern. Then describe two or three distinct actions in the order they should happen. That gives the storyboard a visual thread without asking every shot to look identical.
In review mode, check how the scenes carry the song before generating the clips. Replace a frame that doesn't fit or try a different take for one shot. At the storyboard stage, look for a change in shot size at the musical turning point. At the first-frame stage, check the character and wardrobe across adjacent shots. If the face or setting changes unexpectedly, fix that still before asking the tool to animate it.
Give the scenery room in a widescreen cut, or use 9:16 when viewers will watch on a phone. Export your video at 768p or 1080p. Decide where the video will be seen before generating. In a 9:16 frame, keep the singer and the important prop near the center. In 16:9, let the location establish the story before cutting closer. Check the final cut on the same kind of screen your audience will use.
An official release, a short preview and a private gift each need a different opening. Start with where people will see the video and what you want them to remember.
Make a widescreen MV for a song you have rights to use and upload the finished MP4 to your music channel. A channel in the YouTube Partner Program can earn ad revenue on eligible videos if the material is original, the creator has commercial rights to the audio and visuals, and required AI disclosure is provided.
Pick one detail from the song and repeat it across the video. For a song about leaving home, start at the railway crossing and bring back the same lantern in the second chorus. Use a still from that scene on the release page so listeners recognize the song when they see the clip.
For a twenty-second teaser, start just before the chorus and put the most recognizable image in the opening shot. A singer under one amber light can do more for a phone-sized clip than a wide scene crowded with details.
Make a short version before committing to a full production. Send your co-writer two readings of the same line, such as the singer staying by a window versus stepping out into the street, and ask which one suits the tone of the recording.
If you wrote a song for a friend, build the video around a shared memory instead of generic party footage. Describe a familiar place and one recognizable moment, then share the finished video privately. Use a reference photo only with permission.
If your songs follow the same fictional performer, keep a reference image and one recurring wardrobe detail across releases. Give each video a new event and setting, then use the storyboard to catch changes in the character’s look before animating.
Find one moment in the audio, give the character a clear action and review how the story reads before you commit to the full cut.
Upload your recording, paste a direct audio link, or use a song you made here. Mark the section to score.
Add the lead reference and write what happens on screen. Choose a frame shape and resolution.
Inspect the scenes stage by stage or run the process automatically. Return to the saved project to watch and download the MP4.
Questions about the starting material, prompts and decisions you can still change after the storyboard.
Start with audio. If you only have lyrics, create a song first, then bring that track into the video tool.
Yes. The waveform lets you select a passage from 5 to 360 seconds.
This tool builds scenes around the soundtrack. It doesn't add timed lyric captions.
Generation uses credits and is available on Pro Monthly, annual plans and Pay as You Go. Check the estimate before submitting.
Translate the feeling into actions the camera can see. For a lyric about waiting, try “A singer in a red coat stands at a quiet railway crossing at dusk. Cut from their hand on a lantern to a wide shot as the chorus begins.” Name the location, the action and the moment when the image should change.
Choose staged review. Check the storyboard for the order and pacing of the scenes, then inspect the first frames for character and wardrobe continuity. Replace or regenerate a frame that does not fit before you advance to clips. Regeneration has its own credit cost.
Yes. Download a copy of the track you have permission to use and upload the MP3 or WAV. For a commercial release, check what rights apply to that specific track under Suno’s terms.
Use a clear JPG, PNG or WebP portrait you have permission to use. In staged review, compare the first frames before moving to video and replace or regenerate any shot that loses the likeness. The reference guides the result, and appearance can still vary.
This tool makes a multi-scene music video from your audio and brief. It does not offer a dedicated lip-sync control. For a face that sings along to the track, use the separate AI Singing Video tool.
Potentially. Your channel needs access to YouTube monetization and the video must meet its originality and other requirements. Check commercial rights for the music and images and disclose AI use when YouTube requires it. Generating an MV does not give it automatic eligibility.
