How to Change the Video in a Suno AI Music Project: The Full Creator’s Guide

Suno AI has revolutionized music generation by giving users the power to create complete songs—including audio and visual assets—through a simple text prompt. But as AI music gets more creative and customizable, users often ask: how to change video in a Suno AI music project?

Whether you're editing for aesthetic reasons, branding needs, or just want something more personalized for your track, this guide will show you step-by-step how to replace or customize the video that comes with your Suno AI song, using real-world tools and workflows that even non-tech-savvy creators can follow.

Why You Might Want to Change the Video in a Suno AI Project

Suno automatically generates a basic video for each music track, often using AI-generated visuals or static animations based on the style or mood of your prompt. However, this default video might not always match your brand, story, or social media goals. Here are common reasons users want to change the video:

• The visuals don’t match the mood of the song

• You want to add custom branding or lyrics

• You’re preparing a professional reel for TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube

• You're creating a visualizer, lyric video, or music video that stands out

Does Suno Allow Direct Video Replacement?

As of June 2025, Suno does not allow you to edit or replace the video directly inside its platform. You can download the audio file, but any changes to the video must be done using external tools.

Here’s the workaround: export the audio, then use third-party software to pair it with a custom video. Let’s break this down into a clear process.

Step-by-Step: How to Change the Video in a Suno AI Music Project

1. Download the Song from Suno

• Go to your Suno profile and locate the completed project

• Click the three dots next to the track and choose Download Audio (MP3)

• You may also download the default video, but we recommend working from scratch

This ensures you’re working with clean, high-quality audio for syncing purposes.

2. Choose a Video Editing Platform

You’ll now need software that lets you import audio and attach it to your custom video. Here are top tools used by music creators:

CapCut (capcut.com)

• Free, browser-based and mobile-friendly

• Perfect for short-form content like TikTok or Reels

• Drag-and-drop audio + video editor

• Add effects, transitions, subtitles

Adobe Premiere Pro

• Professional-grade editor

• Ideal for high-quality lyric videos or cinematic edits

• Requires subscription (starts at $20.99/month)

• Allows advanced audio syncing, motion graphics, and templates

Canva Video Editor (canva.com)

• Easy to use with AI tools

• Great for brand customization and social posts

• Free version available, premium unlocks more templates

3. Create or Import Your New Video

Options for your new video include:

• Stock footage (use Pexels, Pixabay, or Storyblocks)

• Visualizers (Renderforest, Specterr, or Veed.io)

• Your own footage

• AI-generated video (from platforms like Runway ML, Kaiber, or Pika Labs)

Make sure your video matches the length of the Suno audio—you can trim or extend it in the editor as needed.

4. Sync Audio with Your Video

Once your new video is uploaded or created in the editor:

• Import the Suno MP3 file

• Place it in the timeline below your visual

• Use the waveforms to align audio with video transitions

• Preview and fine-tune for beat sync or lyrical accuracy

If you’re doing a lyric video, tools like Auto Subtitles in CapCut or Premiere’s Speech-to-Text can automate syncing.

5. Export and Publish

• Export in MP4 format for most social media platforms

• Choose resolution: 1080p for YouTube, 720p for TikTok

• Keep file size under 100MB for easy uploads on mobile apps

• Add metadata like title, artist, and description

Then you can upload your new music video to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or embed it into your website.

Recommended Workflow: Changing Suno Video for TikTok

Here’s a simple example workflow for TikTok creators:

1. Create your song in Suno AI

2. Download the MP3 file

3. Open CapCut Web

4. Import audio + choose a TikTok template

5. Add captions or lyrics

6. Sync transitions to beat drops

7. Export in vertical (9:16) format

8. Upload directly to TikTok from CapCut or your phone

This process takes about 15–30 minutes, and the result is a highly customized and engaging video with your Suno song.

Advanced Tip: Add Visualizer Effects

If you want your video to respond to the music, consider using visualizers:

• Specterr: Create animated waveforms synced to your song

• VEED.IO: Add waveform bars and captions

• Renderforest: Choose from professional-grade video templates

This adds dynamic motion that elevates your video beyond static images or slideshows.

Conclusion

Changing the video in your Suno AI music project is 100% possible—just not within the Suno app itself. By using tools like CapCut, Canva, or Premiere, you can add a personal visual flair to your AI-generated tracks and create engaging content for any platform.

Whether you’re a hobbyist or a serious artist, this workflow lets you fully customize your music videos and tell your story visually. With high-quality audio from Suno and a strong visual layer, your songs will stand out in the saturated AI music space.
