Build a music video storyboard
Build a storyboard by assigning a visible action to each part of your selected music. AI Music.Video generates a Storyboard after you submit your audio and visual settings. Review the descriptions before you spend credits on shot images. A clear script makes later image and motion decisions easier to judge.

Before you start
Prepare your final audio, a song structure map and a short visual brief. Decide which character and location must stay recognizable. Keep the plan small enough that you can describe each scene without explaining the whole story again.
Steps
- Open Create, choose the audio passage and frame shape, and enter your concept. Select Make music video after checking its displayed cost. Wait for the Storyboard to finish before starting another project for the same idea.
- Read the scenes in order. For each one, identify the subject, action, setting and framing. Replace abstract descriptions with something visible. Write that the singer closes a door rather than asking the scene to express closure.
- Edit each scene's Title and Description where needed, then select Save. Review the displayed scene durations against the music. The current script editor changes text; do not assume it provides a freeform timeline for dragging every cut.
- Continue to Shots when the script is saved. Generate and review the images as a rough visual sequence. Follow keyframe review before committing to motion, then return to the animation workflow for style and continuity checks.
Worked example
For a bridge scene, write: a cyclist in a red jacket enters from the left; a wide camera view shows the river; amber morning light comes from the right. The next scene can move closer while preserving travel direction. A new location needs a visual reason to appear.
Check the result
The storyboard should cover the selected passage with actions you can recognize in a still image. Read the descriptions while the song plays. Keep a copy of the approved wording in your notes so you can compare it with later revisions.
If something goes wrong
If the story feels crowded, simplify the actions before adding new details. If Continue is unavailable, check for unsaved descriptions or unfinished work. If exact timing requires a different sequence, plan that edit explicitly instead of treating a text change as a timeline change.
