How do I make a music video with AI?
Start from the song, design the performer once as a reference, generate shots that match each section of the track, lip-sync the vocal lines, and cut the clips to the music. On Gulab all of it happens on one canvas: Music nodes can generate the track or you upload your own, Video nodes animate the shots, Voice Sync handles lip sync, and Concat plus Audio Mix put picture and sound together.
1. The track
If you have a song, bring it in. If you need one, the Music node generates music from text. Models listed on the pricing page include ElevenLabs Music ($0.480), MiniMax Music 2.6 ($0.180), Beatoven Music ($0.036), CassetteAI Music ($0.012) and Google's Lyria 3, Lyria 3 Pro and Lyria 3.5. The Sound Effects node (ElevenLabs Sound Effects) adds risers, impacts and ambience.
2. Map the song
Write down the sections with timestamps: intro, verse, chorus, bridge. Each section gets a visual idea and a handful of shots. Put the plan in a Text node, or ask the canvas assistant to draft a shot list from the lyrics and structure. Typical AI video clips run a few seconds each, so a three-minute song is dozens of shots; plan cuts on the beat.
3. The artist and the world
Generate the performer as a character sheet on an Image node (Nano Banana Pro, Seedream 5.0 Pro, GPT Image 2.0, FLUX 3) and save it as an Element, or use photos of a real artist who has agreed to it. Do the same for key locations. Every shot is generated from these references, so the artist looks like the same person in verse one and the final chorus.
4. Shots
Make a key frame for each shot, then animate it with a Video node. Video nodes can take audio as a reference too: on Seedance 2.5, Seedance 2.0 and Wan 3.0 reference mode, wired audio shows in the node's reference strip as a playable chip, so the motion can follow the music.
| Model (5-second clip) | Price |
|---|---|
| Wan 3.0 (480p) | $0.30 |
| Seedance 2.0 (480p) | $0.45 |
| PixVerse v6 | $0.69 |
| Seedance 2.5 (480p / 720p) | $0.69 / $1.48 |
| Grok Imagine V1.5 | $0.84 |
| Kling V3 Pro | $1.01 |
| Flux 3 Video (720p) | $1.02 |
| MiniMax Hailuo 03 (2K + audio) | $1.56 |
Prices are the per-generation costs listed on gulab.ai/pricing in October 2026 and can change; the pricing page is always the live source.
5. Lip sync the vocals
For performance shots, isolate the vocal line for that section and use Voice Sync to sync it to the video. Options include LipSync v3 ($0.80 per 5-second clip) and Hailuo 03 Max Lip Sync, which turns a still photo plus 5 to 15 seconds of audio into a talking or singing video ($0.30 at 480p, $0.48 at 768p, $0.96 at 1080p for 5 seconds). Gulab stops before running if the audio is outside the model's length limit, instead of silently cutting it.
6. Cut to the beat
Order the clips in a Concat node, add Crossfade where the song breathes, lay the track under the picture with Audio Mix, add the title or lyrics with Text Overlay, and Export. Video Upscale (Topaz) brings draft-resolution shots up for delivery. Mixed and exported videos are saved, so nothing is lost on reload.
Live, steerable visuals
For abstract or performance visuals, the World node runs live AI worlds and prompt-steered video through Reactor that you can walk through, steer and record, priced per generation on the pricing page.
Pricing
Gulab bills per generation from a credit balance. Plans are Solo Producer ($10/month, ₹799), AI Era Creator ($20/month, ₹1,599) and Full Studio ($50/month, ₹3,999). Every plan includes every model, with no model-gating. Unused credits from a monthly plan roll over for up to 60 days, and top-up credits (available to subscribers) last until used.
FAQ
Can AI make a full music video from a song?
Yes, as a pipeline: plan shots per section of the song, generate the artist and locations as references, animate each shot, lip-sync vocals and cut the clips to the track. Gulab does every step on one canvas.
Can Gulab generate the music too?
Yes. The Music node generates music from text with models such as ElevenLabs Music, MiniMax Music 2.6, Lyria 3, Beatoven and CassetteAI. You can also upload your own track.
How does lip sync work for singing?
Connect the vocal audio and the video to a Voice Sync node. Hailuo 03 Max Lip Sync can also animate a still photo of the singer from 5 to 15 seconds of audio.
Will the artist look the same in every shot?
If every shot is generated from the same character reference or Element, yes. That is the core of the workflow.
How much does an AI music video cost?
It depends on shot count and models. As an example from the October 2026 pricing page, 30 five-second shots on Seedance 2.0 at 480p cost about $13.50 in video generations, before music, lip sync and upscaling.
