MakeThisVid is an AI video content generator for musicians that converts a text prompt or photo into an 8-second 1080p video with audio in under two minutes. Commercial use is licensed on every plan. Use it to generate visual content for music releases, show promotion, merch campaigns, and social media.

AI Video Ad Generator for Musicians

Musicians already have audio — what they need is compelling visual content to make that audio spread. MakeThisVid generates short, cinematic video clips from a text description or photo: the mood of a new single, the energy of an upcoming show, the aesthetic of an album, a merch drop's visual story. No video crew, no editing software, no waiting. Note: MakeThisVid generates video content with audio that the AI creates. It does not sync to or incorporate your own music tracks. Use the generated video clip as a visual asset, then layer your music using your own video editing software before publishing.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose a plan or credit pack

    Lite ($14.99/mo, 20 credits), Standard ($29.99/mo, 50 credits), Pro ($79.99/mo, 200 credits). One-time packs start at $9.99 for 5 credits.

  2. Choose your mode

    Photo → Video: animate a press photo, album artwork, or show poster. Text → Video: describe the visual mood of your music — the genre's aesthetic, the track's emotional arc, the album's visual world.

  3. Write a prompt capturing your sonic and visual identity

    Music video content lives or dies on aesthetic coherence. E.g. "Neon-lit empty stage in the rain, microphone in the spotlight, cinematic wide shot, dark blue and magenta palette, slow pull-back." Or: "Abstract swirling ink in water, synced to visual rhythm, warm amber and charcoal, close-up macro motion."

  4. Generate at 720p or 1080p

    1 credit per 720p, 2 credits per 1080p. Renders complete in 45–90 seconds. Credits refund automatically on failure.

  5. Layer your music and deploy

    Download the MP4. Open in your video editor (DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, CapCut, iMovie). Mute or replace the AI audio, add your track, and export. Run as an ad or post organically. Commercial use included.
