Music Composer
Audio Expansion. Music Composer is part of Chat Video Pro’s Audio Expansion. It is included with the Creator Bundle and Creator Pass, and available as a DLC add-on for Base. Generations bill to your own fal.ai account at wholesale rates — same as the rest of Studio.
Music Composer is the soundtrack studio inside Premiere. One Launchpad card, three modes: write an instrumental bed, build a full song with structure and vocals, or Score a video so the music follows the picture you attach.
When to Use Music Composer
Background beds — underscore interviews, montages, or social cuts without hunting stock libraries
Original songs — verse/chorus structure, voice casting, and lyrics when you need a vocal track, not just ambience
Picture-locked scoring — attach a clip and generate a score timed to what is on screen
Stay in Premiere — generate, audition, Add to Chat, and place on the timeline without bouncing through browser tabs
Music Composer does not replace your DAW. It creates finished audio (and for Score a video, an optional muxed preview) you can drop into the edit. Mix, duck, and refine in Premiere as usual.
Getting Started
Step 1: Open Music Composer
Open Chat Video Pro (Window → Extensions → Chat Video Pro)
Click Studio in the sidebar to open the Launchpad
In the Audio department, click the Music Composer card
You land on three mode tabs: Instrumental, Song Builder, and Score a video.
Mode: Instrumental
Best for beds, underscore, and lyric-free soundtrack.
Step 2: Details — Describe your music
Write what you want to hear (mood, instruments, energy, use case). Aim for at least a clear sentence — short, vague prompts produce generic beds.
Optional: enable the background music style when you want lower-energy underscore that sits under dialogue.
Tap the sparkle (AI Optimize) to tighten the prompt, then Continue.
Step 3: Style — Model & duration
Pick an engine and a duration, then click Generate Music.
Lyria 3 Pro
High-quality instrumental beds
Fixed length (duration control may not apply)
MiniMax Music 2.6
Flexible instrumental generation
Fixed length (duration control may not apply)
ElevenLabs Music
Prompt-driven soundtrack
About 5–150 seconds
Stable Audio 3
Longer beds and atmospheres
About 5–380 seconds
If exact length matters for your cut, prefer a model that honors duration (ElevenLabs Music or Stable Audio 3), then trim in Premiere if needed.
Step 4: Result
Preview under Your music, then:
Add to Chat — primary handoff into the conversation / Library
Place on timeline — inserts at the playhead on a free audio track
Try Again — regenerate with the same setup
Mode: Song Builder
Best when you want structure and vocals — not just a loop.
Step 2: Details — Build your song
Add song sections (Intro, Verse, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Post-Chorus, Hook, Bridge, Break, Outro).
Fill lyrics per block (or use Magic to draft lyrics from your idea).
Tap AI Optimize when you want help polishing lyric/style language, then Continue.
MiniMax lyric path has a practical ceiling around 3,500 characters of lyrics. If Generate stays disabled, shorten the lyric blocks or switch to ElevenLabs Music for the song path.
Step 3: Style — Voice & model
Choose a vocal voice casting option.
Pick MiniMax Music 2.6 or ElevenLabs Music.
Click Generate Song.
Step 4: Result
Same handoff as Instrumental: preview, Add to Chat, Place on timeline (playhead), Try Again.
Mode: Score a video
Best when the music should follow a specific clip — trailers, social cuts, picture-locked sequences.
Step 2: Attach a clip
The empty state opens the clip loader titled Score a video. Choose:
Upload — video file from disk
Recent — a video you used or generated recently in Chat Video Pro
Import Clip — pull the selected clip from the active Premiere timeline (best when you want the score placed back under that clip)
Max clip length: 180 seconds. Longer clips are rejected until you trim or re-export a shorter section.
Step 3: Optional style notes → Generate Score
Add short Style notes (optional) — genre, mood, instruments, or “sparse under dialogue.”
Use AI Optimize if you want the notes tightened for scoring.
Click Generate Score (shows Preparing… while the clip uploads and the score is planned).
Music Composer watches the clip, builds a composition plan behind the scenes, and generates a synced score. You do not edit the plan in this release — steer with style notes and regenerate if needed.
Step 4: Result — Your scored video
Preview the muxed video with the score
Download video with score — export the muxed preview
Download audio — score-only file from the audio pill
Add to Chat — promotes the audio and the muxed video into chat
Place on timeline — under the source clip when you used Import Clip (timeline start was captured); otherwise at the playhead
Try Again
Tips for Best Results
Be specific about role (“sparse piano under interview,” “driving drums for montage,” “warm acoustic for brand film”).
For Score a video, prefer Import Clip when the music must land under a known timeline position.
Keep Score clips under three minutes; cut selects before attaching.
Use AI Optimize when your prompt is a vibe dump — it turns loose notes into a usable brief.
Audition in the panel, then place — Place does not auto-duck dialogue.
Troubleshooting
Generate stays disabled
Prompt too short, lyrics over the MiniMax cap, or clip over 180s for Score
Duration doesn’t match what you set
Switch to ElevenLabs Music or Stable Audio 3; some engines ignore duration
Score feels off-picture
Tighten style notes, regenerate, or attach a cleaner / shorter select
Place lands at the playhead, not under the clip
Re-attach with Import Clip so timeline start is captured
Engine / network errors
Confirm fal.ai key + balance in Settings → Usage, then Try Again
