AI music for videos: tracks from a prompt
Generate background music and intros with AI: genre and mood prompting, structure controls, looping, and how to mix the track under a voiceover.
Try every prompt and model in this article for free on FreeInd — no watermark, 500+ models, and built-in tools.
Stock music is either expensive, overused, or both. Generated music lets you score a specific video — the exact mood, the exact length, no license spreadsheet. Here is how to brief it, using free.music.
Prompt genre, mood, instruments, tempo
- Genre: lo-fi hip-hop, cinematic orchestral, corporate ambient, synthwave.
- Mood: hopeful, tense, playful, driving — pick one, not three.
- Instruments: "warm piano, soft strings, light percussion".
- Tempo: 70–90 BPM for narration beds, 120+ for action and sports.
Build for the edit
Ask for a steady structure without abrupt drops — beds need to sit under dialogue. Generate an intro separately if you want a sting, then bring both into your edit with the audio mixer.
Mix under narration
Music at full volume fights the voice. Duck it 15–20 dB under dialogue, or pick a bed with no vocals and sparse highs. The mixer lets you replace or blend the original track with per-source volume control.
Keep a consistent sonic identity
Reuse the same genre, instruments and tempo across a series — viewers recognize the sound before the logo appears. Save the prompt that worked and change only the arrangement notes.
Generate your next track in free.music, then finish the edit with the video joiner and audio mixer.
