What is an AI music video generator?
An AI music video generator turns a song into a video. In Pictory you upload the audio, and it transcribes the words, matches a visual to every line and shows the lyrics as timed captions. You edit the scenes, add your brand and download the music video.
Your song stays the star. The audio you upload is the soundtrack, start to finish. Pictory builds the pictures around it, so it works as a video maker with music already in place and as a music video editor for the scenes.
Use it to create a video with music you have recorded, as an AI video editor with a song behind it, or as a music videos maker for a whole release. The AI music video generator is free to try, online in your browser.
