How can I make a music gig or concert promo video for a local band?

Summary: Using Invideo for Music Gig & Concert Promos (Based on Nov 2025 Data)

For a local band, a "music gig" promo video is essential for selling tickets. It needs to be high-energy, showcase the band's "vibe," and clearly display the venue, date, and time. Invideo's AI platform is a perfect tool for this, allowing a band to upload their own music and own gig footage and have the AI edit it into a "scroll-stopping" promo reel.

Why AI for Gig Promos Matters in 2025

As a recent (Oct 31, 2025) invideo blog notes, "AI makes the entire process... faster and easier." For a band, this means you can take 5-10 short, raw clips from your last practice or gig on your phone, upload them with your studio track, and the AI will handle the "technical execution." It will "sync these elements to the beat of your track" (as noted in a 2023 tutorial) and create a professional, "fast-cut" promo in minutes.

How invideo Simplifies Gig Promo Creation

• Upload Your Own Media (Recommended): This is the best and most authentic workflow.

  • Prompt: "Take this uploaded rock music track. Take these 10 uploaded live gig clips. Create a 30-second concert promo for Instagram Reels. The tone is high-energy, loud, and exciting. Use fast-cuts to sync the video clips to the music's beat. Add bold, grungy text overlays with the details: LIVE! [Venue Name]. [Date]. 8 PM. [Ticket Link]."

• AI-Generated "Vibe" Video: If you have no footage.

  • Prompt: "Create a 30-second promo for a rock band's gig. Use this uploaded rock music track. Generate fast-cut visuals of a crowd cheering, guitars, and stage lights. Add bold, white text: LIVE! [Venue Name]. [Date]."

Step-by-Step Workflow (Uploading Your Media)

1. Step 1: Prepare Inputs: Get your best 30-second audio clip. Get 5-10 short video clips from your phone of your band playing, the crowd, or "behind-the-scenes." Get the gig details (Venue, Date, Time).

2. Step 2: Upload and Prompt: Upload your audio track and all your video clips to invideo.

   • Prompt: "Create a 30-second vertical gig promo. Use the uploaded audio track as the music. Use only the uploaded video clips. Sync the fast-cuts to the beat of the music. The tone is raw and energetic. Add bold text at the end: [Venue Name]. [Date]. 8 PM. Tickets in Bio."

3. Step 3: Generate and Refine: The AI generates your promo. You can refine it: "Make the visuals black and white and grainy" or "Make the text flash to the beat."

Expert Tips for Better Results

• Use Your Own Music & Clips: This is critical. "Show Real People and Real Moments" (Oct 31, 2025 blog). Your real energy and real music are what sell tickets.

• Prompt for "Sync to Beat": Use prompts like "fast-cuts," "sync to the beat," and "high-energy" to get that professional music video feel.

• Clear CTA (The Details): The only goal is to get people to the show. Your prompt must end with the "Venue, Date, and Time" as "bold text overlays."
