Music Generation

Need background music for your video but don't have a track? StarZero Agents can generate original music from a text description using AI. Describe the mood, genre, or vibe you're going for, and StarZero Agents will create a custom audio track you can add to your project.

Generating Music from a Prompt

The simplest way to create music is to describe what you want:

"Generate some upbeat electronic background music"

"Create a calm acoustic guitar track for my intro"

"I need dramatic orchestral music, about 30 seconds long"

StarZero Agents will generate an audio file matching your description. You can specify a duration (up to 5 minutes) or let the AI decide what feels right.

Tips for Good Prompts

Be specific about what you're looking for. Including details about genre, mood, tempo, and instruments helps get better results:

• Genre and style — "lo-fi hip hop", "cinematic orchestral", "upbeat pop", "ambient electronic"
• Tempo — "120 BPM uptempo house beat", "slow ballad at 70 BPM"
• Mood — "energetic and exciting", "calm and reflective", "dark and suspenseful"
• Instruments — "piano and strings", "electric guitar riff", "soft synths"

Using Composition Plans for More Control

For more detailed control over your music, you can ask StarZero Agents to create a composition plan first. A composition plan breaks the song into sections — like intro, verse, chorus — each with its own style, duration, and optional lyrics.

"Create a composition plan for a 60-second upbeat pop track with an intro, verse, and chorus"

"Plan out a cinematic soundtrack that starts quiet and builds to a dramatic finish"

StarZero Agents will show you the plan with all the sections laid out. You can review it, suggest changes, and when you're happy with it, ask StarZero Agents to generate the music from that plan.

This two-step approach is great when you want to:

• Control the structure — decide exactly how long each section is
• Mix styles within a song — have an energetic chorus but a mellow verse
• Add lyrics — include sung lyrics in specific sections
• Iterate before generating — tweak the plan without spending credits

Instrumental vs. Vocals

By default, generated music is instrumental. If you want vocals or lyrics, mention it in your prompt or include lyrics in a composition plan:

"Generate a pop song with vocals singing 'We're reaching for the stars tonight'"

"Create an instrumental jazz track — no vocals"

Using Generated Music in Your Project

Once generated, the music becomes a regular audio clip. You can:

• Position it anywhere on the timeline
• Adjust the volume — background music usually works best at 20-30%
• Trim it with in and out points if you only need a portion
• Layer it with narration, dialogue, or sound effects

Example Workflow

Here's a typical workflow for adding generated music to a video:

1. Describe the music you need: "Generate calm ambient music, about 45 seconds, for a product demo"
2. Preview the generated track in the audio player
3. Add it to your project: "Add that music as background audio starting at 0 seconds"
4. Lower the volume: "Set the music volume to 25%"
5. Layer narration on top for a polished result
