How To Make a Single Frame Music Video with Tuneform
Tuneform features an online creator that makes creating Single Frame Music Videos incredibly easy and straightforward. Using our online single frame music video creator, it's possible to create full HD static videos in mere seconds.
What are Single Frame Music Videos?
Simply put, single frame music videos are a video that feature an audio file paired with a single static image. They are a popular video style for showcasing music across various social and video platforms, especially YouTube.
How To Create One With Tuneform
To make a single frame music video, you need two things: an audio file, and an image file. Any artist who has released a single before will have both of these media assets on hand, so for demonstration purposes, we'll pretend we're creating a single frame video for a single release.
Once you have your audio file and your image, navigate to our Single Frame Music Video browse page to select a style that you like. Tuneform features multiple templates that work with different image styles to give you lots of creative options when making your video. This includes the use of square dimension cover artwork, desktop style widescreen images, as well as logo images with transparency.
Since we're releasing a single in this example, we will be using one of the square dimension album art templates, as this is a standard asset required to release alongside your music on pure audio streaming platforms like Spotify or Apple Music.
In this example, we'll choose one of our favorites, the Vinyl Cover Art style. To start, we click through to the creation page, and scroll to the bottom, where we can input our media files. First we specify our audio file, and can either drag it into the input box, or click the button to select from our computer or devices filesystem. Then we do the same for the image, by specifying the album art for this release. In the event that you choose an image which has dimensions that don't match the output (for example, a vertical image that will be cropped to a square), you'll be able to adjust how your image appears before you render.
After this, we are good to go! We click the option to indicate that we want a full HD video, and hit render. Your files will be uploaded, and you'll be sent to the render progress page. The best thing about creating single frame music videos with Tuneform is your video is ready within seconds! (Even if your video is long). We're not joking, you can try it out for yourself to see how fast it is.
Once your render is ready a few moments later, you'll have to option to download it to your computer and post it whenever you want it. If you're making your video for YouTube, check out the option to upload it directly to YouTube without having to download your file with our YouTube integration.
Since rendering is so quick, it's also very easy to try out different styles using the same media files. The best part is, once you have uploaded your media files, you'll be able to easily re-use both your images and your audio which makes the process even faster. This process is also fairly straightforward, but for more detail, check out our other blog posts on re-using your images and re-using your audio.
