Start with the voice
Write the script exactly as it should be spoken, with punctuation where you want a pause. A voice is priced per character, so the button shows what your script costs before you run it.
A sound for each moment
Describe the source, the space and the length: a heavy door in an empty stone hall, four seconds. Set it to loop for a background like rain or a crowd.
Music under it
For music without words, describe the mood, the instruments and the tempo. For a song, put your lyrics in the Lyrics node with [Verse] and [Chorus] on their own lines.
- Lyria 3.5: one price per track, strong on mood.
- Mureka 9.5: full songs with vocals, cheaper with your own lyrics.
- MiniMax Music 3: you set the length to the second.
The same video in another language
Dubbing returns your video in the language you pick, in the voices of the people in it. It changes the voice, not the lips.
Dubbing is priced per started minute: a ten-second clip costs a full minute.
