Rap video with your own song: animate your audio hook
Choose a look and pair your recording with one or two portraits to make a rap video with your own song, freestyle memo, or original beat drop.
Make the idea yours.
Choose a trending look, add your photos, and generate your rap video with sound.
How do you make a rap video with your own song?
To make a rap video with your own song, start with a look in Pick a Vibe. Under Add Photos & Sound, choose Solo or With a friend, add the photos, and select My audio. Upload your MP3 or WAV and preview the section you want to use; no written scene description is required.
The AI video model uses your uploaded recording as the reference audio to guide the vocal timing, head nod cadence, and performance energy of the person in the portrait. The generated voice, words, and timing can differ from your recording.
- Supported audio formats: MP3 and WAV files up to 15 MB.
- Audio section: Preview a bar or hook within the selected model’s available length.
- Portrait input: Add one photo for Solo or two photos for With a friend, in JPG, PNG, or WebP.
Which section of your track should you choose?
When you build a rap video with your own song, a short, clear audio cut makes the intended vocal timing easier to hear and review. Pick the single strongest 5 to 10 second vocal entrance, punchline, or chorus hook rather than uploading a long intro with ten seconds of instrumental silence.
Make sure the lead vocal sits clearly above the beat. A crisp vocal take with distinct consonant hits gives the model strong rhythmic anchors from the very first frame.
How to prepare your voice memo or studio bounce
Before starting your audio-guided generation, check the clip on headphones. Trim away dead air at the start, avoid cuts where multiple people talk over each other at the same volume, and keep background room noise low.
Upload original tracks, demos, voice memos, or beats that you created or have permission to use.
How to choose a look for a rap video with your own song
Your recording guides the sound while the selected vibe directs the scene. Pick a look with the mood you want, then change its scene, camera movement, outfit, or effects. Your audio and photo choices stay in place while you explore the look.
For an extra detail, open Custom prompt. You can add a relaxed nod for a smooth hook or a more animated performance for a fast freestyle. The filled-in prompt already reflects your chosen visual options.
What portrait photo gives the cleanest vocal delivery?
Because viewers focus closely on the performer’s mouth and eyes, pick a portrait where the lower face is completely unobstructed. Avoid photos with hands near the chin, microphones blocking the lips, or extreme side angles.
Choose an available length in Video settings, then preview the audio section through its ending. Some models accept sections up to 30 seconds; others stop at 15 seconds. A shorter source recording also limits the lengths you can select.
How to review playback and export your finished MP4
After your rap video with your own song finishes rendering, watch the clip from start to finish with sound on. Check how the opening syllable and the main punchline land against the performer’s expression.
If you plan to cut the clip into a longer music video or vertical Reel, download the MP4 to your device (stored in your studio library for 30 days) and keep your original WAV or MP3 master handy for final timeline editing.

Ask our support teamHow do I create a rap video with your own song in the studio?
Pick a Vibe, add one or two portraits, and choose My audio under Add Photos & Sound. Upload your MP3 or WAV, preview the selected section, check the credit total, and generate.
What audio file formats and lengths are supported?
My audio accepts MP3 and WAV files up to 15 MB. Clip lengths depend on the model: some start at 2 seconds, others at 4, and the maximum is 15 or 30 seconds. Video settings shows the valid range for your model and recording.
Why should I trim my audio to 5 to 10 seconds first?
Cutting straight to the main vocal hook removes empty instrumental intros, saves credits, and gives the AI model a clear vocal cadence from the first second.
Can I choose vertical 9:16 or widescreen 16:9 for my track?
Yes. Choose TikTok & Reels for 9:16 or YouTube for 16:9 in Video settings. Other frame shapes and quality choices follow the selected model; the studio shows only available combinations.
How are credits calculated with My audio?
Credit usage scales by your selected model, audio-matched video duration, and resolution (480p, 720p, or 1080p), with the exact total displayed before you start.
