Keeps what is already there
The film's own sound is not removed. Dialogue, ambience and product sound stay at full level and the music sits underneath, which is what most product clips and interviews need.
Add music to your video with AI. Composed for the mood you describe.
DFIRST Music for video is an AI tool that adds music to a video. Upload an MP4, MOV or WebM of up to 150 MB, describe the mood and choose 5, 15 or 30 seconds of music. It composes an instrumental track and mixes it quietly under your film, repeating it until the picture ends.
- Your video keeps its own sound
- The music repeats to the end
- Instrumental, no vocals
How to add music to a video with DFIRST.
Three steps. The first one starts on this page.
- 01
Add the video and the mood
Drop your film in the box above, describe the music you want and choose 5, 15 or 30 seconds of it. A short track suits a short clip; 30 seconds gives a longer film more variety.
- 02
DFIRST composes and mixes
ElevenLabs Music v2.5 composes an instrumental track from your words. It is then laid under the film at a quarter of full volume and repeated until the picture ends.
- 03
Get the film with music
You get one MP4 with the music under it, saved to your session and your Data Room. Generate again for a different take, or try another mood on the same video.
Made for brands. Not a blank prompt box.
Music for any length of film
A short track repeats until the film ends, so even a 5-second piece covers a longer clip. For films longer than a few seconds, choose 30 seconds so the repeat is less noticeable.
When you need more than music
For effects that follow each cut and a voice-over as well, use Add sound to video. It replaces the sound and puts every layer on its own track, which you can adjust after the film is ready.
Who uses it.
Social teams
A music bed for product clips, reels and stories that were filmed without one.
E-commerce teams
Music under product demos and listing videos, while the product's own sound stays.
Founders and small teams
A clip that sounds finished for a launch post, without opening editing software.
Agencies
A quick music pass on a rough cut, so the client reviews the film with a mood, not in silence.

Questions people ask.
About Music for video and how it fits the rest of DFIRST.
How do I add music to a video with AI?
Upload the video in the box at the top of this page, describe the mood and choose a music length, then continue in DFIRST. It composes an instrumental track and mixes it under your film, so you get the same video back with music.
Does it remove the sound already in my video?
No. The original sound stays at full level and the music is mixed under it at a quarter of full volume. If you want the original sound replaced, Add sound to video does that, with effects, music and a voice-over.
What if my video is longer than the music?
The music repeats until the film ends. A 5-second piece under a long video can sound repetitive, so choose 30 seconds for anything longer than a short clip, and generate again if the loop point stands out.
Can I change the volume of the music?
Not in this tool: the music always sits at a quarter of full volume. For music you can raise, lower or switch off after the film is ready, use Add sound to video, where every layer is its own track.
Can I get the music without the video?
Use Create music for a track on its own, in 5, 15, 30 or 60 seconds, and download it as an MP3. It uses the same instrumental music model, without the mix, so you can place the track in your own editor.
