Music is half a video. If your footage feels flat, the answer is almost always sound, not picture. The Video to Music tool generates an original score that follows the rhythm of your edits.
Genre & mood
Pick a genre that matches the world of your video and a mood that matches the feeling. The combinations matter more than you'd think — “Cinematic / Melancholic” gives you something totally different from “Cinematic / Triumphant.”
Intensity
Lower intensity gives more space; higher gives more movement. For talking-head and vlog content, choose Low or Medium. For ads and transformation reveals, High.
Instrumentation
Pick 2-4 instruments. Fewer instruments mean more space — which usually means better. Piano + Strings is a forever-winner for emotional content. Synth Pad + Drums is great for tech and lifestyle.
How it reads your cuts
Lumen analyses your video for cut points (when scenes change) and aligns musical hits to them — so reveals land on beats and dissolves don't fight the rhythm.
