Tutorial 29 OctHow to make a music video with AI from your own song in SoundBoost
- SoundBoost's Music Video Generator turns a finished song into a full music video in 3 screens: Your song, Storyboard and Your film.
- Every scene starts as a still you can fix for 4 credits. Motion is the expensive part, so fix faces, rooms and props before you generate.
- My 3:32 film cost 2,368 credits (about $41) on the default model at 1080p. At 768p, the quality most users pick, it would cost about half.
