How to Create AI Music Videos: From Beginner to Expert

The music video industry is about to experience a massive shift — thanks to AI. Traditionally, top-tier music videos require massive budgets: Dua Lipa’s video reportedly cost $500,000, while The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights exceeded $1 million. Now, with AI tools, you can create visually impressive music videos for a fraction of the cost, faster than ever, and without a full production crew.

In this guide, we’ll explore three different methods — from beginner to expert — to create AI-generated music videos using just two tools:

OpenArt – for generating and animating images
Suno AI – for generating original AI music

Step 1 – Generate the Music (with Suno AI)

Go to Suno AI and click Create.

Describe the music style in detail. Example prompt:

Emotional cinematic EDM with powerful female vocals, dramatic buildup, uplifting synth drop, inspiring and theatrical atmosphere.

Generate multiple tracks, listen to them, and choose your favorite.
Download the selected track — this will be the soundtrack for your video.

Step 2 – Create the Characters (with OpenArt)

Go to OpenArt → Generate Image.
Switch to the Model/Character tab and select a model (e.g., Fluke Dev).
Adjust Prompt Adherence to 2 for more accurate results.
Describe your character in detail, then click Create.
Upscale your best image using 4x + Face mode for better quality.
Switch to Flux Context model, enable Omni, and use your reference character to generate multiple angles.
Select 4+ best images, name your character, and save it in Characters.

Method 1 – Beginner: One-Click AI Music Video

Open OneClick Story in OpenArt.
Choose Music Video mode and upload your track.
Select the Story mode (with or without your custom character).
Let AI auto-detect music mood and create a video for you.

Pros: ✔ Fast and easy — perfect for quick demos. Cons: ✘ Limited creative control.

Method 2 – Advanced: Frame-by-Frame Image to Video

Create multiple scenes for your character in OpenArt: Example:

Luca walks slowly through a crowded nighttime street, hands in coat pockets, wearing a light sweater and black pants, neon signs in background, cinematic lighting.

Use aspect ratio 16:9 for cinematic look.

Go to Videos → Image to Video.
Select model CAT, quality Pro, duration 5s.

Write a cinematic motion prompt, e.g.:

Camera pulls back and rises slowly, neon signs blur in the background, dreamy atmosphere.

Repeat for each scene until you have enough clips.
Import all clips into a video editor, match them to the beat.

Pros: ✔ High creative control ✔ Cinematic storytelling Cons: ✘ Requires more time and editing skills

Method 3 – Expert: Match Cut Close-Up Portraits

Create a custom character (e.g., Yuna).
Generate 50+ close-up portraits in various styles, lighting, and moods.
Import them into a video editor.
Match each image to the beat for a match cut effect.

Pros: ✔ Highly artistic and stylized ✔ Great for K-pop or fashion-inspired videos Cons: ✘ Requires precise timing

Final Thoughts

With OpenArt and Suno AI, anyone can create professional-looking music videos — no expensive cameras, no massive crew, no million-dollar budget.

Beginners can start with the OneClick method for instant results.
Intermediate creators can use the frame-by-frame approach for cinematic storytelling.
Experts can push creativity with match cut portraits.

The barrier to entry for music video production has never been lower. Whether you’re an indie musician, a content creator, or just curious about AI art, the tools are ready — and so is your audience.
