AI music video from audio: a Lyria track, six H3 Max clips, $6.23
Build a 60-second AI music video on Sume: one Lyria track at $0.125, six 10-second MiniMax H3 Max clips at 768p, and one timeline render. About $6.23.

"AI music video generator from audio" is on Google's autocomplete today (read 2026-10-07). The straight path on Sume is: make or import the audio, make the picture in clips, and lay the audio under the clips in one Timeline 1.0 render. The track sets the length; the clips follow it.
This page prices the plain version: a 60-second video, six 10-second shots, one song.
The bill, line by line
Costs are provider list x 1.25. At 480p the same six clips are 60 x $0.0625 = $3.75, which puts the whole video at $3.975. At 1080p they are 60 x $0.20 = $12.00.
| Step | Basis | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Music Router, one track | $0.125 per generation, fixed | $0.125 |
| Six MiniMax H3 Max clips, 10 s each at 768p | 60 s x $0.10 per second | $6.00 |
| Timeline render, 60 s | $0.10 per ceil(output minute), reserve ceiling | $0.10 |
| Total | $6.225 |
Make the track fit the picture
Music Router has no duration field and rejects duration outright; ask for length and structure in the prompt instead. Section markers help you line cuts up with the beat: [0:00-0:10] Intro, [0:10-0:20] Verse, and so on, so each shot has its own part of the song. Write the tempo as a number; at 120 BPM a 4-beat bar lasts 2 seconds, so a 10-second shot is five bars.
Then render. The timeline accepts an audio file as audio.url, so the track runs as the audio of the whole render.

- H3 Max reads 5 to 15 seconds per clip at 480p, 768p or 1080p; ten seconds is inside the range.
- MiniMax H3 (not Max) is $0.075 per second at 768p, which would make the six clips $4.50.
- Native audio comes with the clip; decide whether the track or the clip sound is the one you keep, and check the result by ear.
