How long can a generated video background be?

From 4 to 15 seconds per clip. With Seamless loop on, the clip repeats cleanly for as long as its scene on the timeline, so a short clip can cover a whole verse.

Can the video start from my own image?

Yes. Give it a start frame, or a start and an end frame to morph between. You can also add up to nine style-reference images so the result matches your artwork.

What does a seamless loop do?

It makes the clip end on the frame it started from, so when it repeats there is no visible cut.

How is AI video priced?

Per second of generated clip, with two quality tiers. The exact cost in tokens is shown before you confirm.

Can I use my own video as a background instead?

Yes. Upload an MP4 or MOV in the cover picker. If it is shorter than the scene, it loops just like a generated clip.

How it works

Three steps. That's the whole thing.

Describe the clip — Choose Generate video in the cover picker, write the prompt, and set a length from 4 to 15 seconds.
Shape it — Turn on Seamless loop, give it a start frame, a start and end frame to morph between, or up to nine style-reference images.
Place it — The clip lands on the timeline. If the scene runs longer than the clip, it loops for as long as the scene does.

In detail

What you get

Prompt to motion

Write the shot in plain words and pick a length between 4 and 15 seconds. Progress and a time estimate show while it renders.

Seamless loop

Tick Seamless loop and the clip ends where it began, so a 6-second clip can fill a 40-second scene without a visible cut.

Start and end frames

Supply an image to start from, or a start and an end frame to morph between, so the clip matches your artwork.

Style references

Add up to nine reference images and the generated video follows their look.

Two quality tiers

Choose standard or higher resolution. Video generation is priced per second of clip; the price is shown before you start.

Uploaded video loops too

Your own MP4 or MOV covers loop the same way if they are shorter than the scene.

Why it matters

A still cover makes a video; a moving one makes people stop scrolling. Generated backgrounds give a song motion without a shoot, and because they loop cleanly you only need a few seconds of footage per scene.

Start with AI cover images if you want to design the look as a still first, then animate it with a start frame. Lay several clips along the scene timeline to change the mood from verse to chorus.
