Best for

For pairing an AI-generated song with a visual MV or beat-sync short for Douyin, Bilibili or music platforms.

Steps

Analyze the song

15-20 min

Suno + Udio

After generating or choosing a track, use beat-detection or the waveform to mark BPM, downbeats and the climax section so the whole edit knows where the beats land. Verses and choruses should get very different visual density.

💡Let a beat-detection tool place the markers — faster and more reliable than by ear.

Storyboard

30 min

ChatGPT

Write the storyboard from the lyrics' meaning and mood: each section gets its own density, the climax gets fast cuts and striking visuals, and ideally each line of lyrics becomes one shot so the sync stays clean.

💡Make the number of shots match the number of downbeats — beat-sync is just cuts landing on beats.

Visual generation

2-3 hours

Midjourney + Runway + 可灵 Kling

Generate keyframes in a locked art style with Midjourney (reusing the same style prompt and character reference), then run image-to-video in Runway or Kling for motion; loopable shots give you flexible length to cover the beats.

💡Lock the character and scene design before generating video — that's how character stays consistent across shots.

Beat-sync editing

1 hour

Descript

Snap clips to the beat with cuts on downbeats and 1-2 second cuts in the climax, adding zooms and flash frames for punch. Use Descript's waveform snapping to auto-align, then fine-tune by hand.

💡Get cuts frame-accurate; rough-cut first, then polish beat by beat — speed invites sloppy sync.

Publish

20 min

Platforms

Export vertical 9:16 and horizontal 16:9 versions with lyric captions and hashtags; launch on one primary platform first and only spread once the data looks good.

💡Put the song title and style keywords in the title for music-platform and search traffic.

Pitfalls to avoid

Inconsistent art style

Shots that jump styles break the film's cohesion; lock the style keywords first.

Off-beat cuts

A cut half a beat late reads as amateur; invest the time to fine-tune.

Drifting character design

The protagonist changing looks across shots ruins the MV; fix a reference image before generating.
