Video Summary

This tutorial demonstrates how to create a high-quality AI music video, starting with generating original music using Suno AI. The process involves creating custom visuals for a singer, such as holding a guitar or singing into a microphone with dynamic backgrounds like burning buildings, using a platform called Design. This platform allows for the generation of new images based on an initial character photo and descriptive prompts. The tutorial then details how to add expressive lip-syncing to these generated visuals, emphasizing the importance of dynamic background elements for animation. Finally, it covers applying special effects and enhancing video quality with AI upscalers, resulting in a professional-looking music video created entirely with AI. One remarkable aspect is the ability to animate background elements like flames and smoke that were part of the initial AI-generated visuals

Short Highlights

Generated original music using Suno AI, describing the desired topic and genre like "rebellious teenage song" and "rock and roll, '90s teens."
Created custom character visuals using the Design platform, starting from a photo and prompting for actions like holding a guitar with a "grimy and gnarly in a dystopian style."
Added expressive lip-sync to characters using Design, which requires audio files under 30 seconds and can take 20-30 minutes for pro mode results.
Applied animated special effects using an AI video generator, with options like disintegrating into dust or playing drums, using models like Cling 2.1 or C dance.
Enhanced video quality with an AI video upscaler like Topaz AI, with options for full HD upscale and different video model

Key Details

Creating Original Music with Suno AI [00:36]

The process begins with generating the song, either by using existing music or creating it with Suno AI.
Suno AI allows users to input their own lyrics or have them automatically generated, and to describe the desired topic and style, such as "rebellious teenage song" or "rock and roll, '90s teens."
Users can fine-tune prompts, combine styles, and explore a library of songs generated by others.
The downloaded audio file is crucial for the subsequent visual creation.

So, of course, you can spend a lot of time fine-tuning these prompts, writing your own lyrics, also combining a bunch of different styles together.

Generating Expressive AI Visuals with Design [02:16]

To create AI visuals, the tutorial uses a photo of a singer and the Design platform.
The goal is to generate more dynamic visuals of the singer performing different actions, like playing instruments or singing into a microphone with effects like fire in the background, and different camera angles.
The "instant storyboard" tool in Design allows users to upload an image and then describe new images of the same character in different situations.
Prompts can specify actions, instruments, and stylistic elements, for example, "create a photo of this woman playing an electric guitar" with a "grimy and gnarly in a dystopian style."
Output quality can be set to 1080p and aspect ratio to 16:9 horizontal.

So, how do we make these visuals? There's a lot of different ways of doing this, but one of the more beginner friendly ways I found is using this platform code design.

Adding Dynamic Lip Sync and Background Animations [05:12]

A key step is adding lip sync to make characters sing along with the song, aiming for expressive results beyond static animations.
The tutorial highlights that having dynamic background elements in the initial visuals, such as flames and smoke, can lead to animated effects in the final AI video.
In Design, a lip sync tool can be used by selecting a character image and uploading the audio file.
Audio files need to be under 30 seconds, requiring the song to be broken down into parts.
Pro mode in Design is recommended for more expressive results, with a processing time of 20-30 minutes.
Examples shown include a singer with expressive animation, smoking buildings in the background, wind blowing on clothing, and a character strumming a guitar while singing.

And to get really cool lip- sync results like this, it's really important to make sure that the original visuals that we created in the beginning have the dynamic elements already included inside.

Applying Special Effects and Enhancing Video Quality [08:27]

Further visual creativity can be achieved by adding special effects, such as a character vanishing into dust or playing drums.
An AI video generator allows users to input a character image and describe desired effects, like "she disintegrates into burning dust that blows away into the wind."
Different video models are available, with Cling 2.1 and C dance models recommended for VFX and human motion, respectively.
An optional step involves using an AI video upscaler, such as Topaz AI, to enhance video quality and achieve a high-definition look.
Upscaling options include different amounts and video models, with Proteius being a default option.

Finally, we can also take things a step further and enhance the quality of the videos even more using an AI video upscaler to really get that high definition look.

Final Music Video Assembly and Reflection [10:27]

After all steps are completed, the individual AI-generated clips and lip-synced animations are assembled into a final music video.
The result is presented as a professional-looking video created entirely with AI, without traditional camera crews or equipment.
While not always perfect, with occasional lip-sync out-of-sync issues, the overall expressiveness and dynamic nature of the video are considered impressive.
Alternative lip-sync tools are mentioned, such as Hedra AI and Higsfield.

Is it perfect? know for some of the clips the lips don't match the lyrics exactly but the fact that you can do this completely on your own is pretty amaz
