Step by step
Pick Music video and upload the song
In Film Studio, choose Music video and press Upload your song. The video runs the length of your track.
Cast your singer and describe it
Add a character from Character Studio, then describe the performance and the places:
Juniper sings this warm indie folk song with an acoustic guitar: on a sunlit wooden porch at golden hour, then walking through a wheat field, then by a campfire at dusk.
Paste the lyrics too if you want the cuts to follow them.
Pick a look and plan
Choose a look, like Dream pop, Neon club or Rock grit, and press Plan video. Planning is free: the song is split into scenes and shots, each timed to its slice of the track.
Check the frames
Press Generate all frames, about 2.5 credits each. A frame check flags any that miss the shot. Save the ones you like and redo the rest.
Make the clips
Saving a frame unlocks its clip. Press Generate saved clips: 6.25 credits a clip, each one lip-synced to its slice of your song.
Export
Go to export: your song plays over the whole video while the clips perform to it. Pick a color grade if you like and press Export video. Exporting is free, and a cut check flags anything worth a redo.
Why it works
- Choruses deserve your widest, biggest shots. Verses can hold on the singer.
- Lock in props that appear in several shots, like a guitar, so they stay the same from shot to shot.
Made this way
Your practice task
Make a 30-second video for the chorus of a song you have the rights to.

Turn your song into a lip-synced music video in PixelDojo Film Studio, from casting your singer to export. In Film Studio, choose Music Video, then press Upload Your Song to add the track your singer will perform. The song is loaded, this track is 30 seconds long, and the video will run the length of your song. Add your singer from Character Studio. Here, Juniper performs with a guitar on a porch, through wheat, and by a campfire. Choose Dream pop for the look. With your singer, performance description, and look ready, press Plan Video. Planning is free in Film Studio. Film Studio splits the song into timed scenes and shots, porch verse, wheat chorus, and campfire refrain. Generate all frames first, about 2.5 credits per still. Review each still before making clips. The frame check flags shots that miss the description. Save the frames you like, or redo them. Saving a frame unlocks its clip. Press Generate Saved Clips to make lip-synced performances at 6.25 credits per clip. The clips are now rendering. Each takes a few minutes, and you can keep working while Film Studio makes them. Once every clip is saved, the progress bar is full. Press Go to export to assemble your music video. Your song plays across the whole video as the clips perform to it. Optionally choose a color grade, then press Export Video. Exporting is free. Cut check flags fixes, like a disappearing guitar. Redo that shot, then export again for free. Your video is already saved in your library. You've cast, planned, checked, and exported your music video. Next, try another song with a different look.
