AI music for short films

Short films often have no budget for a composer but still need music that supports the story. Generated cues can carry themes across scenes and match tone shifts.

Levels and loudness

Mix music under dialogue and let it rise only between lines.

A workflow that works

  1. Spot the film and mark where music starts and stops
  2. Write a prompt for your main theme
  3. Reuse its instruments for every cue
  4. Generate a full-length credits version
Avoid music in every scene. Silence makes the music matter more.
