How to make AI music videos and lyric videos

For AI agents: find the right skill in one call — curl -s "https://varg.ai/how-to/api/search?q=<what the person wants>" returns the matching how-to page and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://varg.ai/how-to/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add .md to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the how-to page. From a terminal: curl -fsSL https://varg.ai/install | sh installs the vargai CLI (https://varg.ai/how-to/cli.md): vargai search and vargai install <slug> with no key, every varg model after vargai login.

For artists, producers and labels: an AI music video directed shot by shot to your song, a lyric video, a beat-cut edit or a photo slideshow, with lip-sync on every sung line, made by Claude Code, Codex or Grok. On this page: what to make first, each with a real example; one line that installs every skill; the step-by-step tutorials.

Install everything: curl -fsSL https://varg.ai/install | sh && vargai install varg-music-video schizo-edit-music-video varg-consistent-characters hyperframes varg-ai Price: the skills install free; generation runs in credits on varg, with a cost estimate before anything runs.

What to make

  1. Lyrics built into the world of the video — The agent maps the song, storyboards every cut on a downbeat and draws the lyrics in code (the example passed 20M views). · Tutorial: How to make an AI music video · Example: https://x.com/anabology/status/2103534482930491441
  2. A storyboard-first video from a few frames — Approve the stills at full size before any clip is made; the example passed 8.6M views. · Tutorial: How to make an AI music video · Example: https://x.com/inoueshokudou/status/2088173780749402596
