How to create a music cover video with freebeat agent?

Music Cover Video is a creative tool designed to turn your music and prompts into a beat-synced looping visual that perfectly matches the energy and mood of your track. Freebeat automatically analyzes your audio’s tempo, rhythm, transitions, and emotional shifts, and generates a stylish animated cover that moves seamlessly from the first frame to the last.

You can use your Music Cover Video for:

Whether you're an independent artist, producer, label, or content creator, this tool makes it easy to bring your music to life with a polished, modern, and visually captivating style.

Go to https://freebeat.ai/agent and look for the mode options above the prompt box. From there, select Music Cover Video to enter the correct workspace.

Your first task is to upload or select the song you want to create a looping album cover for. Freebeat offers several ways to bring your music into the project:

You can upload any track you’ve composed, produced, downloaded, or mixed. Freebeat currently supports MP3 and M4A formats.

If you’ve previously generated music using Freebeat’s built-in tools at https://freebeat.ai/music-generator, simply switch to the Select asset tab and pick a track directly from your library.

You can also import music by pasting a link from supported platforms and clicking Enter. Supported platforms include:

Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube, Suno, Udio, TikTok, Stable Audio, Riffusion

Once your track is added, Freebeat will automatically analyze its tempo, mood, structure, and energy changes to prepare the visual sequence for your moving cover.

Select the format that works best for your target platform from the following options: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, and 3:4. Once you click Create and the workflow begins, this setting cannot be changed, so be sure to pick the ratio that fits your distribution needs.

Here are platform-specific recommendations:

Additionally, you can find official specifications here:

Choosing the right ratio upfront ensures your video displays perfectly across the platform where your audience is most active.

Pick the resolution for your loop visual. You can choose between 720p and 1080p depending on the level of detail and rendering speed you prefer.

Use the Remove watermark toggle if you want a clean export without the Freebeat watermark. This is useful when you are preparing cover visuals for releases, official channels, or brand pages.

Turn on Auto to let Freebeat handle the entire workflow automatically from start to finish. When Auto is enabled, the Agent will move through every stage—including storyboard creation and video clip generation—without requiring any manual confirmation.

If you turn Auto off, the workflow becomes fully manual, allowing you to review and confirm each stage one by one. During both the storyboard phase and the video clip generation phase, you can add new prompts, adjust visual details, or provide entirely different instructions to shape each scene exactly the way you want. The system will pause at every step and display a Continue button, which you must click to move forward. This mode is perfect for creators who want precise control over mood, character actions, scene transitions, and any other visual elements throughout the video.

Choose whether your final video will be:

In the prompt box, describe the cover you want. The hint text is a good template:

“subject + style + mood + subtle motion”

For example:

“Lofi girl by the window, anime style, calm night mood, soft hair and light movement”

“Neon cassette tape, cyberpunk style, energetic mood, slow rotating motion”

This description tells the AI what to show, how it should feel, and how the animation should loop seamlessly.

After you click Create, Freebeat begins by generating a Static Album Cover Image based on your prompt, music analysis, and chosen settings. This image can be downloaded immediately, and you may update your prompt to regenerate it if you'd like to refine subjects, colors, or artistic style before moving forward.

Once the static cover is produced, the Agent moves through the initial planning stages for your looping animation:

Freebeat analyzes your music and prompts you to understand the overall mood, theme, and style direction of your project.

Based on this analysis, the system creates a visual concept that defines the look and feel of your final loop—such as color palette, atmosphere, motion type, and artistic tone.

Freebeat then finalizes the artwork that serves as the foundation for your animated loop.

(At this point, the interface also displays the estimated credits required for generation.)

These steps establish the visual identity and artistic direction that your looping cover will follow.

With the concept and artwork prepared, Freebeat begins generating your animated loop clip. If Auto mode is enabled, the workflow continues automatically without requiring any manual confirmation. If Auto mode is off, the system will pause at each stage and prompt you to click Continue before moving forward.

After all clips are generated, Freebeat enters the final stage where it merges the video segments into a smooth, seamless music cover video. During this process, the system automatically adds intro and outro transitions so the loop begins and ends naturally, matching the mood and pacing of your track.

The final rendering usually takes 3 to 4 minutes. Once everything is complete, you will see a confirmation message: “Congratulations! Your music cover video has been generated successfully.”

After rendering, Freebeat will display two outputs:

You will also receive an email notification so you can instantly view, download, or share both files.
