TikTok music video maker for your own songs

Vertical first, not cropped later

Cropping a widescreen video to 9:16 usually cuts the subject out of the frame and leaves lyrics running off the edges. When the project is vertical from the start, every scene is composed for a tall frame: faces sit in the centre, the setting stretches up and down, and the lyrics are placed where they stay readable above the platform buttons.

The same pipeline as a widescreen video runs underneath. Your vocal is transcribed with word-level timing, a scene is planned for each lyric line, one main character is locked across all scenes and the cuts land on the beat. Only the frame changes.

Full song or just the hook

Short-form platforms reward a strong first few seconds. Many artists post the chorus or the most quotable line rather than the whole track. Clipbeat supports both approaches:

• A full-song vertical video for the full-length post, a pinned video or a Reels upload
• A section of the song exported from the editor — for example the chorus — as its own 9:16 clip
• Other shapes from the same editor: 16:9 for YouTube, 1:1 and 4:5 for feed posts
• Direct publishing to connected TikTok and Instagram accounts, or a downloaded file for any app

Lyrics people can read on a phone

Many viewers watch short videos with the sound low or off. On-screen lyrics carry the song when audio cannot. Clipbeat highlights each word as it is sung, karaoke style, so a viewer can follow the line even on mute — and recognise it later when they hear the song in another video. Because the timing comes from your actual vocal, the highlight follows your phrasing instead of a fixed line-by-line estimate.

About the example

The example on this page is "Golden Hour Glow", a pop demo song made for the showcase on Premium ($39). It is the widescreen version: 2:02, 16 scenes, with lip-sync on 5 singing shots. A 9:16 project goes through the same steps, with every scene composed for a vertical frame instead.

Pricing

A vertical video costs the same as a widescreen one. The chorus preview and the scene plan come first; then you pay once for the song — from $5 Standard, $19 Plus or $39 Premium — and each tier covers the whole track in the aspect you chose:

• Standard (from $5) — the full song with a scene for every lyric line, full motion, word-by-word karaoke lyrics, 1080p without a watermark.
• Plus (from $19) — everything in Standard (full motion, a scene for every lyric line, word-by-word karaoke lyrics, 1080p without a watermark), plus your singer lip-syncing the chorus with your vocals (2–3 shots).
• Premium (from $39) — full motion with the best image and motion models, extra quality checks on every shot, and real lip-sync on up to 12 singing shots.

TikTok, Reels, Shorts and Spotify Canvas

TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts all use the same 9:16 shape, so one vertical video can be posted to all three. Spotify Canvas is different: it is a short, silent looping visual uploaded in Spotify for Artists, and it has its own length limits. If you want a Canvas loop for a release, see the Spotify Canvas maker page — Clipbeat does not publish to Spotify, but it can make the file.

A simple release plan many artists use: post a vertical clip of the hook a week before release, the full vertical video on release day, and the widescreen version on YouTube the same day. All three can come from the same song and the same visual world.

Using AI songs on social platforms

If you made the track with an AI music tool such as Suno, download the song file from Suno and upload it to Clipbeat; importing by link is not supported. Check the music tool's terms for what you may publish or monetise, and the platform's rules on labelling AI-generated content. You need the rights to the music you post.
