Tapemoon

What is Tapemoon

Tapemoon is an AI music video generator that turns songs you own into beat-synced music videos. It reads the tempo, sections, and lyrics of your track, plans a storyboard you can edit, and renders scenes that cut on the beat. The tool is designed for music you own, with no real people on camera.

How to use Tapemoon

1. Upload a track or paste a Suno link – Use a WAV or MP3 you own, or your Suno share link.
2. Tapemoon maps the track – It analyzes tempo, beats, sections, energy, and lyric timing.
3. Review the storyboard – See every scene and where it starts. Change the style, a scene, or a lyric before spending credits.
4. Render and export – Get an MP4 in your chosen format (16:9 for YouTube or 9:16 for Shorts, Reels, TikTok) with your original audio.

Features of Tapemoon

• Beat-synced editing: Cuts and camera moves land on the beat; faster tracks get shorter shots.
• Section-aware scenes: Each verse, chorus, and drop starts a new scene; the chorus carries the main motif.
• Energy-based pacing: Quiet parts hold longer; loud parts cut faster and move more.
• Lyric timing: Lyrics are transcribed and timed to the vocal for captions, and their imagery shapes the scenes.
• Six visual styles: Cinematic, Anime, 3D Animation, Watercolor, Comic, and Retro Film.
• Storyboard review: See every scene and where it starts; change style, a scene, or a lyric before spending credits.
• Partial rendering: Choose to render the full song, the chorus, or any run of scenes (e.g., 3:15–4:15).
• Multiple video models: Seedance 2.0 Mini (cheapest), MiniMax H3 (lifelike, up to 2K), or Seedance 2.5 (most cinematic).
• Output formats: MP4 in 16:9 or 9:16, with original audio, 720p to 2K (Seedance rendered at 480p and upscaled to 720p).
• Character options: Choose a main character (Man, Woman, or Auto); a generated fictional character can sing lines with lips in time with your vocal.
• No real people: No face swaps, voice cloning, or imitations of real artists.
• Privacy: Your tracks and videos are not used to train AI models.
• Browser-based: Runs in the browser, nothing to install.

Use Cases of Tapemoon

• Suno and Udio creators: Give a finished track more than a still image on YouTube—a full video, or a vertical chorus clip for Shorts.
• Independent artists: A single needs a video on release day: the full song in 16:9 for YouTube, or the chorus in 9:16 for Shorts.
• Rap, folk, and ballads: When the words lead, lyrics appear in time with the vocal and the scenes follow what they describe.
• Producers and beatmakers: With no lyrics to follow, the scenes lean on the beat grid: cuts and motion hit the kick and the drop.

Pricing

• Free trial: One track free—storyboard and a 15-second watermarked chorus preview with Seedance (480p). One per person.
• Paid plans: From $19 per month, or credit packs with no subscription. Paid plans export full length without a watermark and include commercial use.
• Credit costs: 30 seconds of video is 30 credits with Seedance or 90 with MiniMax H3. Paid scenes are kept, so finishing the song on the same model charges only the scenes not rendered yet.

FAQ

Is an AI music video maker different from an AI music video generator?
No, both names mean a tool that turns a track into a video. Some sites use "AI music video maker" for template editors where you place clips yourself; Tapemoon generates the scenes and the edit from the audio.

Can AI make a music video from my song?
Yes. Upload the track, or paste a Suno link; Tapemoon maps it, drafts a storyboard, and renders the video. You need no script, footage, or editing software.

Can I use a song I made with Suno or Udio?
Yes. Paste a Suno share link or upload the downloaded file.

Can ChatGPT make a music video?
Not a full one. A chatbot can write a concept and prompts, but it can’t map your beats or edit a full-length video to them. An AI music video generator does both.

Is it free, and is there a watermark?
Your first track is free to try: Tapemoon maps it, drafts the storyboard, and renders a 15-second preview of the chorus with Seedance (480p) and a watermark. The free trial is one per person. Paid plans export full length without a watermark and include commercial use.

Can I make a video of only part of my song?
Yes. The storyboard covers the whole song, and you choose what to render: the full song, the chorus, or any run of scenes, such as 3:15–4:15. You pay only for those seconds.

Can I put my face in the video or make the singer lip sync?
Your face, no. A singer, yes: your video’s main character, a generated fictional character, can sing lines of your song to camera with lips in time with your vocal. Singing scenes cost credits and aren’t part of the free preview. Tapemoon does not use real people’s faces or voices.

Does it put lyrics on screen?
Yes. Lyrics are transcribed and timed to the vocal, and you can correct any line before rendering.

Can I make a simple music visualizer instead?
Yes. For bars, a wave, or your cover art moving to the beat, with no AI scenes, use the music visualizer: the whole song is free in 720p with a small watermark.

Do I own the video?
You own the generated video under your plan’s license. Rights to the music stay with you or your music service.

Do I need to label the video as AI on YouTube?
Only if scenes could pass for real footage: YouTube asks creators to disclose realistic synthetic content. Clearly animated or stylized videos usually don’t need the label.

What if a render fails?
If a render fails because of a fault on our side, the credits it used go back to your balance.
