Music to video: turn a track or beat into a beat-synced music video
Upload a track, beat, or instrumental. ngram reads the music, cuts scenes on the beat, builds a visualizer that moves with the energy, and renders a branded video sized for YouTube, Reels, and Shorts.

How it works
Four steps from a piece of music to a posted video.
No editing suite, no hand-keyframing a visualizer, no scene-by-scene timeline work. Drop the music, approve the storyboard, export a branded video for every feed.
Drop the music in
MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, or FLAC up to 500 MB. Works on a finished track, a loop, or a beat. Paste lyrics for on-screen lines, or hand over a hook and let ngram generate a vocal when you only have the instrumental.
ngram reads the beat
Tempo, downbeats, sections, and energy shifts come back as a timeline. The intro, the build, the drop, and the breakdown become marked moments the storyboard cuts against.
Visuals get matched to the music
The agent maps each section to a scene: a reactive visualizer, AI imagery, motion text, or photomotion stills, with cuts that land on the beat, then stamps your colors, logo, and fonts on every frame.
Render and post
Export 16:9, 1:1, and 9:16 in one render. Push to a /watch/ link, send the vertical cut to Reels and Shorts, or open the timeline editor to nudge a cut tighter to the beat.
Output controls
Smart defaults for a track. Real knobs when you want them.
Cuts that land on the beat
Scene changes snap to downbeats and section boundaries instead of an arbitrary clock, so a drop hits with a hard cut and a breakdown gets room to breathe.
A visualizer that reacts
Generate a reactive visualizer that moves with the frequencies and the energy of the music, layered behind scene art rather than running as a flat waveform over a still.
Lyric or hook lines on screen
Paste the lyrics and ngram times them to the vocal, styled by your brand kit. Run a full lyric video, a single hook line per section, or no text at all, per render.
Scene art per section
AI imagery, photomotion stills, and motion backgrounds swap as the energy shifts, so the quiet intro and the peak chorus never share the same wallpaper.
Three ratios per render
16:9 for the YouTube upload, 1:1 for the feed, 9:16 for Reels and Shorts, smart-reframed from one storyboard so the focal point stays centered in every crop.
Cut a beat-drop teaser
Pull a 15 to 30 second window around the drop and export it as a standalone vertical clip for a pre-release tease, same visuals, same branding.
Cover art carries through
Feed in the artwork and ngram pulls its palette into the scene colors and the intro card, so the video reads as part of the same release as the track.
Your files stay in your workspace
Master files and renders stay in your workspace and you can delete your account and data anytime from Settings. Talk to sales about access controls for your team.
The rest of ngram
Music to video is the front door. These run the rest of the production.
Music
Your uploaded track is the score the whole video is built around. The agent reads its tempo, downbeats, and sections so every cut and transition lands on the beat instead of on a timer.
Learn moreMotion Graphics
Reactive backgrounds, beat-triggered text hits, and animated callouts that pulse with the energy of the track, so a drop reads on screen even before the bass arrives.
Learn moreAI Visuals
Scene-matched imagery generated to fit the mood of each section, so an ambient intro gets one look and a peak chorus gets another instead of one static backdrop under the whole track.
Learn moreCaptions
Burn the lyric or hook line onto the video, timed to the vocal and styled by your brand kit. The text holds the message in a muted feed where most music scrolls past with the sound off.
Learn moreBrand Kit
Logo, colors, fonts, and an intro and outro card applied across every scene, so each beat or single a producer ships looks like it came from the same shop, not five different editors.
Learn moreMulti-format Export
Render the same music-driven storyboard as a 16:9 YouTube upload, a 1:1 feed post, and a 9:16 Shorts cut in one pass, with the focal point reframed per ratio.

Where a music-driven video earns its place.
One beat becomes a week of short-form
Turn a single track into vertical hook clips for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok, each cut around a different section, so a beat drop can post for days instead of once.
See use caseA watchable upload for the track
Give a beat or instrumental a real YouTube home with a reactive visualizer and scene-matched art, so listeners stay on the page instead of bouncing off a static loop.
See use caseDrop-day posts across every feed
Ship the release announcement as branded video for each channel at once, square for the feed and vertical for stories, all carrying the same artwork palette.
See use caseScore a campaign in your colors
Pair a licensed or original track with brand visuals for a launch reel or ad bed, cuts timed to the music and the brand kit applied across every scene.
See use caseBeat-synced ads that stop the scroll
Build paid social creative where the cut hits on the beat and the hook line carries past a muted autoplay, then export the same idea in every ratio for testing.
See use caseTease the drop before it lands
Cut a 15-second snippet around the loudest section into a countdown teaser, branded and vertical, to warm up the feed in the days before the track goes live.
See use caseScore a brand post with your track
Marketers set an original or licensed beat under a captioned LinkedIn video so the post earns the algorithm's video boost and the audio sets the tone in the first second.
See use caseMusic-led clips for paid and organic
Growth teams turn a track into a batch of on-brand vertical clips, each beat-cut and captioned, to feed an always-on social calendar without a separate edit per post.
See use caseOther converters
Coming from a different source? There's a converter for that.
Same read-the-source then storyboard pipeline, different inputs. Music to video shares the brand kit, render stack, and security model with every other ngram converter.
The broader sibling for spoken audio. Built for podcast clips, webinar segments, and voice notes, where a transcript drives the script instead of a beat driving the cuts.
Open converterThe release-day cousin. Tuned for a finished single with vocals and lyrics, where the verse and chorus structure leads, rather than a beat or instrumental.
Open converterStart from the artwork instead of the track. Apply cinematic motion to a still and pair it with the music for an artwork-led visual when you want minimal scenes.

Strip hiss and room tone from a rough home recording so the track reads clean once it carries a full music video instead of a streaming waveform.
Open toolAdd Music to Video
Already have the footage and just need the track under it? Lay your music onto an existing clip instead of building the video from the beat up.
Open toolAudio to Text
Transcribe the vocal on its own when you have no clean lyric sheet, then drop the text back into the converter as the on-screen lines.
