Using invideo for "Narrative" Music Videos with "AI Actors" (Based on Oct 2025 Data)
Creating a "narrative" music video (a video that "tells a story") (FlexClip, Nov 2025) traditionally requires a "director," "actors," and a "film crew." Invideo's AI platform is a revolutionary tool for this, with a dedicated "AI UGC Ad maker" (https://invideo.io/make/ugc-ads/) that allows you to "Create AI ads with AI actors" and "create... testimonial videos with multiple actors."
Creating AI-Powered "Narrative" Music Videos
Learn how to create a "narrative music video" with invideo. Use the "AI UGC Ad maker" to "create... AI ads with AI actors" and have them "act out" your song's story from a text script.
Why AI for "Narrative" Music Videos Matters in 2025
As the invideo "AI Avatar Generator" page (Nov 2025) notes, you can "choose a creator from our actor marketplace to front any video." This is a "game-changer." You can "create... testimonial videos with multiple actors," (Nov 2025) which means you can "type in a prompt" and "cast" different "AI actors" to play different roles in your music video's "story," all "without... freelancers."
How invideo Simplifies "Narrative" Video Creation
- "AI Actor" (AI-Generated): This is the best workflow. You "cast" your video.
- Prompt: "Use the 'AI UGC Ad maker'. Create a 'narrative music video' for this 'uploaded audio track'. The script is: '[Paste your script/lyrics here]'. For 'Scene 1', use 'AI Actor [Name 1]' in a 'cafe' setting. For 'Scene 2', use 'AI Actor [Name 2]' in a 'park'. The tone is 'sad and cinematic'."
- AI-Generated (Audio + Text): If you don't use "actors," you can "generate" the story.
- Prompt: "Use this uploaded 'audio file'. Create a 'narrative music video'. The tone is 'cinematic and emotional.' The script is: '[Paste your lyrics here]'. For 'Verse 1', show 'AI-generated visuals of a couple arguing'. For 'Chorus', show 'visuals of a person walking alone in the rain'."
- Use the AI Product Video Generator: You can use the "AI video product generator" (https://invideo.io/make/product-video/) to create a polished video.
Step-by-Step Workflow ("AI Actor" Narrative)
- Step 1: Prepare Inputs
Have your final song (as an .mp3) and your story script (what happens in the video, scene by scene). - Step 2: Upload and Prompt
"Upload your music" (Nov 2025 Help Center) to invideo. Then, use the "AI UGC Ad maker" workflow.
"Create a 'narrative music video' using the uploaded audio. Here is the script: '[Scene 1: Show 'AI Actor 1' (male) in a 'city' setting, looking sad]. [Scene 2: Show 'AI Actor 2' (female) in a 'cafe' setting, looking out the window]. [Scene 3: Show both 'AI actors' walking past each other on a 'crowded street']'. The tone is 'cinematic and sad'." - Step 3: Generate and Refine
The AI generates the video. You can refine it: "Make the visuals 'black and white'" or "Add 'lyric subtitles' in a 'script' font."

Expert Tips for Better Results
