FROM PORTRAIT TO A 15-SECOND PERFORMANCE

How to make an AI rap video from a photo

Start a project, upload one authorized portrait, write or paste the lyrics, generate and preview the audio, select a 15-second excerpt, then request and download the vertical video. The complete generated-audio workflow uses 20 credits and requires no formal account or software installation.

Updated 2026-10 · Matches the current creation flow

1. Prepare the photo and creative direction

Use a JPG, PNG, or WebP portrait up to 10 MB. Choose one clearly visible adult with a front-facing, unobstructed face. You must have the necessary rights and the person’s permission. Group photos, deceptive impersonation, and unsupported duo concepts are outside this workflow.

Give the project a specific topic instead of a vague genre label. A birthday name, an affectionate inside joke, or a personal milestone provides more useful raw material than “make a rap.” You can edit the resulting lyrics before any audio charge.

2. Create and preview the audio

Choose a lyric template or paste your own. Review names, wording, and the verse you want to feature, then request the 8-credit audio quote. Mureka 9 creates the song from the saved draft; pronunciation and exact musical interpretation are not guaranteed.

If you already have a performance, upload an authorized MP3, WAV, or M4A recording between 15 and 180 seconds instead. The audio is normalized by the server. Listen before moving on so a weak take does not automatically become a paid video.

3. Select the excerpt and generate video

Use the start-time control to choose the strongest 15 seconds and preview that exact server-created clip. The final video uses this excerpt, not the entire song. Once the photo and excerpt are ready, request the separate 12-credit video quote for Seedance 2.0 Mini.

The finished result is a 720 × 1280 vertical MP4. Find it in My videos and download it within three days. Confirmed technical video failures return the video-stage credits; they do not reverse an already successful audio stage.

[Intro]
New chapter, same drive

[Verse]
New city skyline, I'm finding my way
Little wins stacking, I'm learning each day
Big dreams calling, I answer with work
Roots getting stronger, I'm past every smirk

[Chorus]
This is my moment, I'm owning my name
Not chasing the spotlight, I'm changing my game
One step, one verse, I'm watching it grow
Look how far I've come, still so far to go

[Outro]
New chapter, new stage
I'm writing my page
