How to Create AI Videos with Background Music in 2026
Create AI Videos with Perfect Background Music
The most professional AI content in 2026 combines cinematic AI video with perfectly matched background music. The good news: you can generate both from the same platform, no separate tools needed.
Option 1: Use Veo 3.1 (Audio + Video Together)
The simplest approach. Veo 3.1 generates video AND music simultaneously from your text prompt. Describe both the visual and the musical atmosphere:
"A slow-motion sunset over the ocean with warm golden light reflecting on the water. The sound of gentle waves and a soft orchestral score play throughout."
Veo 3.1 handles everything in one generation — cinematic video AND matching audio. 10 credits per 8-second clip.
Option 2: Generate Separately and Combine
For more control, generate video and music separately:
Generate your video
Use Image to Video or Text to Video tab. Download the MP4.
Generate matching music
Go to AI Music tab. Describe music that matches your video's mood and genre.
Combine in CapCut (free)
Upload both to CapCut, layer the music over the video, adjust timing. Export your complete video.
Tips for Matching Music to Video
- Match energy levels — high-energy video needs upbeat music
- Consider tempo — slow cinematic video works with slow orchestral music
- Match genre to content — lifestyle content works with pop or R&B, nature with orchestral
