Can I Do It Myself?

Creating original background music for a video

You can do it yourselfDone with ready-made tools, no technical knowledge needed.

Generate original, royalty-free music by describing it, or pick ready-made music in your editor.

Estimated time: About 30 minutes (for a first-timer, an estimate)

Steps

  1. 1

    Define the video's mood

    Upbeat, calm or educational? Note the length too.

  2. 2

    Describe and generate

    Write the genre, tempo and instruments; don't use artist names.

  3. 3

    Cut it to the audio

    If there's speech, keep the music low underneath it.

  4. 4

    Check the rights

    If you'll use it in a commercial video, make sure your plan allows it.

Risks and things to watch

Suno's free plan has no commercial use rights; ads and sales videos need a paid plan. Don't use prompts that imitate a famous song or artist.
