How to Make AI Videos with Audio

To make AI videos with audio, describe the picture and sound in the same brief and check the selected model’s audio support.

Workflow map

Choose the right audio workflow

Check whether you need new sound, an existing recording, or a soundtrack for finished footage.

Video with generated audio
Text or a reference image
Create a new scene and request its ambience, effects, or speech.
Add audio to existing video
Finished footage and an audio track
Place or mix a recorded voiceover, music, or effects in a video editor when exact track control matters.
Audio-to-video / audio reference
An existing audio file
Guide a new visual sequence with a supported audio-input model. This is a different input workflow, not a promise of identical sound.
Audio prompt

Write a prompt you can hear

Use this formula: scene + action + camera + ambience + main sound + optional short dialogue + exclusions.

Separate the visual and audio brief

Describe the shot first. Add a clear audio sentence with the sound source and its character: soft rain on glass, one cup click, no music.

Give dialogue room to finish

Use one speaker and a short line that fits the clip. Name the language and delivery; avoid several speakers talking over each other.

Specify what causes an effect

Tie the sound to an observable event: the glass clicks when it touches the counter. A generic cinematic sound request gives less direction.

Fix a silent result in order

Unmute the player, check device volume, and listen to the downloaded file. If it is still silent, confirm the model supports audio and review any available sound setting before retrying.

Reduce competing audio

If background sound covers the words, simplify the scene: quiet ambience, clear foreground speech, no music. Change one layer at a time.

Treat synchronization as a review task

Watch the sound-producing action while listening. If timing drifts, use a simpler action or shorter line and generate another version. Keep exact timing edits for a video editor.

Workflow

A four-step picture-and-sound workflow

Keep a copy of your prompt so you can compare one change at a time.

Step 01

Pick the input

Open AI Video with Audio. Begin with text for a new composition or a reference image for an existing visual setup.

Step 02

Confirm model and sound

Review the current duration, output settings, and cost. Enable sound if a sound switch is available; if you change models, check its audio support again.

Step 03

Write one scene and generate

Add the action, camera, and audio directions. Use one of the templates below, adapt the details, and continue into the generator to submit.

Step 04

Watch once, listen again

Check the whole clip for action, speech, effect timing, and the ending. Revise the main problem before making a longer sequence.

Copyable Prompts

Four AI video with audio prompt examples

Adapt these prompts to your scene, then adjust the duration to fit the action and dialogue.

Rainy cafe ambience

A locked-off close shot of a steaming cup beside a rain-streaked cafe window. Warm pendant light, cool evening outside. Audio: soft rain tapping the glass, quiet room tone, one gentle cup-on-saucer click. No speech, no music.

Listen for a calm background and a single clear cup sound.

One speaker, one line

Medium shot of an adult coffee kiosk owner looking toward the camera at a quiet harbor. She smiles and says in English, warmly and slowly: 'Your coffee is ready.' Audio: clear foreground speech and faint distant waves, no other voices, no music.

Review the complete line and mouth timing; shorten it if the ending is rushed.

A product sound cue

Close-up of sparkling water pouring from a clear unbranded bottle into a tumbler on a slate counter. Soft amber side light, steady camera. Audio: a clean pour, delicate fizz as bubbles rise, a light glass click at the end. No voiceover, no music.

Check whether the pour and fizz follow the visible action.

Animate a reference image

Use the uploaded image as the starting composition. Leaves move lightly in the breeze while the camera slowly pushes toward the garden gate. Audio: gentle leaf rustle, distant birds, one soft wooden creak as the gate opens. No speech or music.

Upload a suitable garden image and keep the requested movement simple.

FAQ

AI video with audio FAQ

How do I make AI videos with audio from text?

Write the visible scene and sound directions together, check the selected model’s audio support, and enable sound if the interface provides a switch. Generate and listen to the full output before deciding what to revise.

What belongs in an audio prompt?

Name the ambience, the main sound source, the event that triggers it, and any short dialogue. Add exclusions such as no music when they clarify the intended result.

How can I tell if the generated file is silent?

Check both the page player and the downloaded clip with mute off and device volume audible. Playback settings and missing generated audio require different fixes.

How do I improve sound and action timing?

Use one clear action and tie its sound to that event. Review matching moments in the clip. Shorter dialogue and fewer simultaneous events make mistakes easier to identify.

What if music overwhelms the dialogue?

Request clear foreground speech with quiet ambience and no music. If you need exact volume automation, mix the accepted clip in a video editor.

Is video with audio the same as audio-to-video?

No. Here you request sound for a new generated scene. Audio-to-video starts with an existing recording that guides visual generation. Check the chosen model's input support.

How should I handle a long voiceover?

Prepare separate shots and a recorded or synthesized narration track, then assemble them in an editor. Short generated dialogue is a different task from controlling a complete long-form narration.

Try a short scene with a clear audio brief

Start with one sound source, listen to the result, and refine from what you hear.
