Google Flow Music: Generate Professional Music Videos with Just a Text Prompt

Google Flow Music is an AI-powered platform that lets you generate original music tracks, create accompanying music videos, and customize every aspect of your production. Simply describe what you want using a text prompt, and the tool handles the heavy lifting—generating background music, visuals, scene transitions, and lighting that match your vision perfectly.

Here's what makes it particularly powerful: you can take an AI-generated track you've already created in Google Flow Music and use it as the foundation for your video. The platform will then intelligently design visuals that complement the music. This guide walks you through both scenarios—building a complete music video from scratch when you don't have a track yet, or creating one based on existing AI-generated music.

Creating a New Music Video From Scratch

Step 1:

Head to the Google Flow Music website using your Google account. On the left sidebar, click Music videos.

Music video section

Once you're in the Music videos interface, click New music video to begin.

The platform will show you a complete guide for building a music video. If you want to create something entirely new—asking AI to generate both the music and visuals in one go—you'll need to write a comprehensive prompt that covers these nine elements:

1. Overall concept + 2. Music details + 3. Story content + 4. Characters + 5. Setting + 6. Visual style + 7. Camera work + 8. Choreography + 9. Technical specifications
