Songwriters who are not video people
You wrote the song; the shot list, the continuity and the edit come from the director.

Song to Video
Turn a song into a video: import a Suno track or your own recording, and Dimly plans the shots, renders them and assembles an MP4 under your original audio.
- Runs in your browser
- Lyrics on screen only if you want them
- MP3 · WAV · M4A or Suno import
01What it is
Song to video: a finished song, directed into a film.
Song to video means starting from audio you already have and ending with a video that belongs to it. The song sets the length, the pacing and the mood; what is missing is the picture: a shot list, continuity from one scene to the next, and cuts that land on the music.
Dimly directs that picture. It reads the structure of the track, plans a treatment for the whole song, quotes the render, and only then generates the clips and assembles them under your audio. That is song to video AI with a plan behind it: the whole song is mapped before a single clip renders.
- Your audio stays the soundtrack.
- The finished MP4 plays the song you imported, start to finish.
- No editor to learn.
- Import, approve the plan, confirm the quote and download. Everything runs in the browser.
02How to turn a song into a video
Three Steps from a Song to a Video
- 01
Import the song
Paste a Suno share link, or upload an MP3, WAV or M4A you own. The song, and its words when it has them, come with it.
- 02
Let the AI direct it
Dimly plans a treatment for the whole song (shots, continuity, pacing) and quotes the render before anything runs.
- 03
Download the video
Confirm the quote, let the render run, and download an MP4 with your song as the soundtrack.
03What you get
What Song to Video Looks Like in Dimly
The whole song, directed
Dimly reads the track's structure and plans one continuous sequence across it, not a loop of unrelated clips.
Consistent where it matters
Character, wardrobe and light hold across the sections of the song, so the video reads as one work.
Cuts planned from the music
Shots are placed against the song's bars and sections, with instrumental passages left as part of the arrangement.
Lyrics are optional
Keep the video purely visual, or turn on lyric captions timed to the vocals. The choice is yours.

08Song to video FAQ
Questions Before You Render
Import the song as an MP3, WAV or M4A, or paste a Suno share link. Dimly analyzes the track, plans the shots, quotes the cost and, once you confirm, renders and assembles an MP4 with your audio as the soundtrack.
Yes. Lyrics are optional. Keep the video purely visual, or turn on lyric captions, which are timed to the vocals. If words on screen are the point, the lyric video maker is built for that.
Free to start: song analysis, the treatment and a quote cost nothing, and an account that has never paid gets its first 6 images free. Video renders use credits, and nothing is charged until you confirm the quote. Free exports carry a small Dimly AI watermark and a one-second end card; any plan, or one of the larger credit packs, removes them.
AI-generated scenes planned across the whole song and assembled under your original audio. Exports are MP4 in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, up to 10 minutes.
MP3, WAV and M4A recordings, or a Suno track imported by link. You must own the song or have permission to use it.
A lyric video puts your words on screen as the picture. Song to video puts directed scenes on screen and treats the words as optional. Pick the lyric video maker when readers need to follow along; pick this page when you want a music video.
Yes. You see the treatment and the quote first, and nothing renders until you confirm.
No. Dimly is an independent AI music video maker that works with songs from Suno and with your own recordings.
