# AI music videos

An AI music video puts visuals to a song instead of a voiceover. You pick a song, AITuber generates visuals that match the music, and lyrics can appear as synced captions. You can generate the song inside AITuber, upload your own audio file, or paste a Suno song URL. This is the easiest way to turn a Suno song into an MP4 video.

## What do I need?

- A song. Generate one in the app, upload an audio file, or import from a Suno URL.
- Credits.
- A free account is enough for **Moving AI Images** and **Cover Image**. **AI Video** mode needs an active plan.
- To download, your account must have had a paid plan at least once.

## How do I create an AI music video?

1. Open [music video page](https://app.aituber.app/dashboard/music-video).
2. Pick your music. You can generate a new song, upload a file, or paste a Suno song URL.
<!-- screenshot: music selection step with generate, upload, and URL options -->
3. Trim the song if you only want part of it.
4. Click **Next Step**.
5. Pick a **Video Mode**: **Moving AI Images**, **AI Video**, **Cover Image**, or **Avatar**. **AI Video** shows a lock if you have no active plan. You can still select it, but **Generate** then opens the plans.

6. Optional: in **Visual Direction**, describe the look. Click **+** to add a saved character, place, or thing, or to upload a photo.
7. Pick quality and captions. Lyrics show as captions when captions are on.
8. Click **Generate**. The credit estimate shows before you confirm.

## Can I use my own music? (Suno to MP4)

Yes. Three ways:

- **Upload a file**: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, or OGG. Maximum 50 MB and 10 minutes.
- **Paste a Suno song URL**: AITuber imports the track for you.
- **Generate in AITuber**: 30 credits per song. AI lyrics cost 5 credits.

## How much does an AI music video cost?

Every music video has a base cost of 50 credits. Then you pay for the song (only if you generate it) and the visuals.

| Part | Cost |
|---|---|
| Base (every music video) | 50 credits |
| Song generation (optional) | 30 credits |
| AI lyrics generation (optional) | 5 credits |
| Moving AI Images mode | 1 to 20 credits per image, by quality |
| Each of your own photos used in a Moving AI Images scene | +3 credits |
| AI Video mode, Basic | 5 credits per second |
| AI Video mode, Good | 10 credits per second |
| AI Video mode, Premium | 26 credits per second |
| AI Video mode, Max | 30 credits per second |
| Cover Image mode | 0 extra (base cost only) |
| Avatar mode | 8 credits per second (480 per minute) |

Using your own uploaded song costs nothing extra. [What each video type costs](https://help.aituber.app/en/article/what-each-video-type-costs-48eido/).

## What are the visual modes?

- **Moving AI Images**: a slideshow of AI images with motion, one image every few seconds.
- **AI Video**: AI video clips for the whole song. The most dynamic and the most expensive. It needs an active plan.
- **Cover Image**: one still cover image for the whole video, with an optional waveform. The cheapest mode.
- **Avatar**: a talking-head character performs over the music.

## Can I put a saved character, place, or thing in the video?

Yes, in **Moving AI Images**, **AI Video**, and **Cover Image**. After you pick the song, open **Visual Direction** and click **+**. Pick a saved character, place, or thing, or upload a photo. We insert an @mention like `@Maya`. You can also type the @mention by hand. For **Cover Image**, click **Generate with AI** and add the @mention in the cover instructions.

We put that photo into the scenes that need it, so the look stays the same. You do not have to use it in every scene. Write what you want in Visual Direction and we place it where the story needs it.

**Moving AI Images** adds 3 credits per photo used in a scene. **AI Video** does not add extra for the photo. **Cover Image** charges for the photo when you generate the cover, not when you generate the video. **Avatar** still uses the character strip, not @mentions.

## Why do the lyrics captions not match the song exactly?

Caption timing comes from word-level analysis of the audio. Sung words are harder to detect than spoken words, so a caption can differ from your lyric sheet. See [Why captions do not always match my lyrics](https://help.aituber.app/en/article/why-captions-do-not-always-match-my-lyrics-1ink8lg/).

## What are the limits?

- Uploaded audio: 50 MB, 10 minutes maximum.
- You can trim any song to the part you want.
- If generation fails, your credits come back automatically.
