Can you really create an AI music video in 5 minutes for free?

In short: FlexClip's free plan lets you generate two AI music videos at no cost, signing in with a Google account.

Key takeaways

  • FlexClip's free plan lets you generate two AI music videos at no cost, signing in with a Google account.
  • The AI music generator produced a finished track of over 4 minutes, including AI-written lyrics, from a single ChatGPT-drafted prompt.
  • A 10-second landscape template was duplicated repeatedly to match the 4-minute track, then exported with direct sharing to YouTube, Dropbox, and Google Drive.

An AI music video needs only two ingredients: a generated track and a visual template, and FlexClip provides both in one browser tool. The whole workflow, prompt, music generation, template assembly, and export, ran without paying for anything, because the free plan covers two music videos. This walkthrough by Ani Björkström, a Stockholm-based tech consultant, built a soft sleeping-music video from scratch.

How do you generate AI music in FlexClip?

Log in to FlexClip with a Google account, open AI Tools in the left sidebar, choose Audio, then open the AI music generator. Paste a prompt describing the track, pick a style, warm suits sleeping music, and click Generate; you do not need to write the prompt yourself, because any LLM chatbot such as ChatGPT can draft it for you. FlexClip can also write the lyrics automatically, which removes one more manual step, and generation takes only a couple of seconds to start.

Do you have to write your own lyrics?

No, FlexClip offers self-written lyrics as an option but can generate lyrics itself. In the demo the tool wrote the full lyric sheet for a warm, sleep-themed track, lines like "In the hush of night, whispers flow", with no human editing. Letting the tool handle lyrics means the only human input for the entire song is one pasted prompt.

How do you turn the track into a video?

Go back to the FlexClip home screen, open Templates, filter by social media, and pick a landscape-ratio template with a soft look. Click Customize, use the Browse button to import your downloaded music file, and delete the template's default audio, in this case a Christmas track and a wind ambience, so only your generated song remains. Because the template scene was 10 seconds long and the song ran over 4 minutes, the fix was duplicating the scene several times until the video length matched the music.

How do you export and share the finished video?

Click Export and FlexClip renders the video, with built-in share options for YouTube, Dropbox, and Google Drive. You can also copy a link so other people can listen to the same generated track without downloading anything. Downloading the music file separately is worth doing anyway, since the track can be reused in other projects later.

FAQ

Is FlexClip's AI music generator really free?

The free plan allows two AI music videos, and you only need a Google account to sign in. The demo was recorded on a business plan, but every step shown works on the free tier.

How long can the generated music be?

The demo track came out at over 4 minutes from a single prompt, complete with AI-generated lyrics and vocals.

What if my template is shorter than the song?

Duplicate the template scene until the total video length matches the track. A 10-second scene was duplicated several times to cover the full 4-minute song.

0:28 Hey, my name is Annie. I'm a tech consultant based in Stockholm. In this video, I will show you how to create II music video. Let's get started. We will open the internet browser and search for a tool called Flex Clip. And here it is. We will click on Flex Clip and we login with our Google account. Next, we will click on Flex Clip. And from there, on the left side, you can see that we have IE tools and we will go to IE tools. You can see different options in here. You can create images, videos. But today we are interested in audio. So we will click on audio. And from there we will use I music generator. Now in here you can see that we have section for entering the prompt.

1:13 For this video I will create a soft sleeping music and you don't have to create the prompt on your own. You can open the LLM chatbot that you normally use. In my case it will be chat GPT but you can use any of the chat bots. And in here I ask chat GPT to create a prompt for me. So this is the prompt. I will copy this prompt. And then back to flex clip. And here I will paste the prompt. And then we can use for example a style. We have different styles. I will choose warm style because this is meant for sleeping. Then we also have selfwritten lyrics if we want to enter lyrics. But I want to let flex clip to create the lyrics as well because it's less work for me. and then I will click on generate button. You can see that I'm using business plan. However, Flex Clip has a free plan and you can create two music videos for free on free plan.

2:04 So, go ahead and sign in with your Gmail account and test these features and then if you like it, you can of course upgrade it later on. Now, it can take couple of seconds while the music is being generated. While we wait, I want to flick in and ask what it is guys that you want me to create videos about. Is it a tool you want me to review or it's some functionality you want me to show how to create VI or anything else? Please comment below. And if you like this video so far, please give me thumbs up. And back to the video. Now the music was generated. You can see that it's over 4 minutes. Let's hear it. In the hush of night, whispers flow, gentle breezes, soft and slow.

3:21 Leaves dance where dreams play. Wrapped in warm stars above. Breathing a gift of love. Calm descends like the misty air in this forest. of I think this is amazing. I would love to listen this music daily basis but we need to continue our tutorial and you can see that on the left side we have the option to download this video and then we have the option to delete of course I will click on the download button because I think it's just so beautiful and I want to have it locally downloaded on my computer.

4:12 However, in the next step, we want to create some type of visualization or video that will be used with this music. We will use flex clip for that as well. We will come back to home and from here we will click on templates and templates are easy way to create videos. So from here I will filter social media and here you can see we have 1,28 templates. I want to choose the ones that have ratio landscape and then from there I want to have something that is soft. For example, P1 might work. So I will click on this one. And here we have the correct ratio. And you can see that there is already some type of music in here. But we can easily update that. So we will click on customize button. And in here it tells us that if we have another media, we can easily import it.

5:08 So we can just go ahead and click on browse button and the idea is that we are trying to import that music that we just created and then we will choose the music file and we will click on open button and in here you can see that file will be uploaded. However in this template we already have music it's a Christmas music and wind ambiencece and we don't want to save those files. So we just click and then delete. So you can see that those files will be deleted and then we will just add our own music because our visualization is just 10 seconds long. Our video will also be 10 second long. However, as you remember our music was over 4 minutes. So either we need to use more templates that will be suitable with this one or we can just duplicate this template.

5:54 So we'll just click on this video and from there we will click on duplicate and we will do this several times until we have 4 minutes long video. Now you can see that video is ready. In the hush of night, whispers flow Gentle breezes soft and slow. Leaves dance lightly. A tender sway. Nature's cradle where dreams play. Wrapped in warm the stars above.

6:44 Breathing peace a gift of love. Calm descends like the misty air in this forest. Free of care. Moonlight glimmers on the stream. A symphony of a tranquil dream in the distance. The hours call in this nest. We feel it all. Wrapped in warmth. The stars above. Breathing peace. A gift of love. Calm descends like the misty air in this forest free of care.

7:41 Yes. And of course you can go ahead and edit this any further but right now I want to export it. So I will click on export button. And you can see that we even have share to social option with YouTube, Dropbox, Google Drive and so on. And we can even copy this link and send to other people who can use the same link and listen the same music that we have just created. Now I want to know what you think. Did you like the music? Will you create some IE music on your own? Just let me know in the comments and have a good day. Bye.
