AI music for film trailers

Trailer music follows a three-act shape: a quiet setup, a rising build and a huge climax, often with a final button after a pause. Generating to that structure saves hours of editing stock cues together.

Prompt for film trailers0/600

Length

60 seconds to 2.5 minutes. Teasers are often 30 to 60 seconds.

Levels and loudness

Trailers are mixed loud, but keep enough dynamic range for the setup to feel quiet.

Licensing

Creator and Studio cover client work, including trailers for films and games. The full terms are on the licensing page.

A workflow that works

  1. Write timings for each act
  2. Ask for the pause and button at the end
  3. Generate several climaxes and pick the best
  4. Ask for the hits to land harder in the prompt and regenerate
Avoid a flat arc. Without contrast, the climax will not feel big.
