AI music generator for video: describe the sound, get a track
Type what the music should sound like. Cutroom makes the track, and you play it under a video you edit in Cutroom or download it as an MP3.
In short
- An AI music generator makes a new track from a short description, so you do not search stock music.
- Cutroom makes a track from a sentence like 'warm, slow, acoustic', to play under your Cutroom video or download as an MP3.
- Cutroom makes an instrumental track, or a sung one if you add lyrics.
- A Cutroom track costs 50 credits up to 60 seconds and 130 for 120 seconds, on Basic ($39.99 a month) and up.
- Suno (from $8 a month) and ElevenLabs ($6 a month) are cheaper if you only want a track and no video editing.

What is an AI music generator for video?
It writes a new piece of music from your description, instead of you searching a stock library for one.
- You describe the mood, the speed and the instruments in plain words.
- You get a new track, so you are not reusing a stock song other brands use too.
- In Cutroom the track plays under your video, and you set how loud it is.
How it works in Cutroom
You write one sentence about the sound, pick the length, and a finished track comes back.
- You make tracks on Cutroom's Music page. Each track is saved there, and you can download it as an MP3.
- Music is off when your edited video first comes back. You switch it on in the editor and pick the track.
- If you leave the lyrics empty, you get an instrumental. If you add lyrics, they are sung.
- You set the music volume in the editor. Under talking, a quiet instrumental works best, because a sung vocal and your voice are hard to follow at the same time.

What to type to get good music
Describe how the music should feel, not only which genre it is.
- Words about feeling work well, like warm, calm, soft, steady or bright.
- Saying what you do not want helps too, like 'no sudden loud parts, stays calm, no vocals'.
- Genre names like 'EDM' often add sudden loud parts you did not ask for.

| A talking ad | Soft piano, slow and steady, no vocals |
| A quick product demo | Upbeat light percussion, steady, no sudden loud parts |

What Cutroom's music generator does not do
It makes one track that plays under your whole video.
- The track starts when your video starts. It is not timed to a chosen word or moment.
- You cannot edit a track afterwards. To change it, describe it again and make a new one.
- It will not copy a named artist or a song you know.

Cutroom's music comes with its video editor, on Basic at $39.99 a month. If you only want a track, Suno (Pro from $8 a month) and ElevenLabs (Starter $6 a month) cost much less.
- Choose Suno if you only need a track or a song and no video editing. It has a free plan, and Pro, from $8 a month, includes commercial use rights.
- Choose ElevenLabs if you want music and AI voices in one account. Its Starter plan is $6 a month and includes commercial use of the music.
- Choose Cutroom if you edit your ad in Cutroom and want a track made for it, on Basic at $39.99 a month.

Questions people ask
- How much does an AI music track cost?
- 50 credits for a track up to 60 seconds, 90 credits for 90 seconds and 130 for 120 seconds. Music comes with Basic ($39.99 a month) and Premium ($79.99).
- Can I download the track?
- Yes. Every track is saved on Cutroom's Music page, where you can download it as an MP3.
- Can I get a song with vocals?
- Yes. Add lyrics and they are sung. Leave the lyrics empty and you get an instrumental. Under a talking video, an instrumental almost always works better.
- Can I set the tempo or key?
- Not with a setting. Write it in the description instead, like 'slow and calm' or 'around 70 beats a minute'.
- Will a generated track get a copyright claim?
- It is unlikely, but not guaranteed. The track is new, so there is no identical recording for a platform to match.
- Why does my track sound thin on my phone?
- Phone speakers lose most of the bass. Ask for lighter instruments, like piano, guitar or strings, instead of deep bass.
