Step-by-Step Guide

  1. 1

    Audio Prep & Analysis

    Clean and trim your audio track. Mark key moments like the intro, verse, and chorus with timestamps to use as editing anchors.

  2. 2

    Choose Your Visual Approach

    Decide between a stock footage mix (Rotor Videos), AI-generated visuals (WZRD AI), or an AI avatar with lip-sync (Vmaker AI) for vocal-led tracks.

  3. 3

    Assemble & Edit

    Import your audio and video clips into CapCut or DaVinci Resolve. Use beat detection to sync your cuts to the music and arrange clips to match the song’s structure.

  4. 4

    Polish & Export

    Add text overlays, subtitles, and your logo. Color-grade the clips for a consistent look and export in multiple aspect ratios (9:16 for TikTok, 16:9 for YouTube).
