Does Breathe animate the person?

No. Breathe uses a still photo and adds depth, slow drift and light that responds to the music.

Can I use a song I already have?

Yes. Upload your track in a Full Project, then choose this look when you shape the video. The Quick AI path on this page writes an original song with you instead.

Do I need lyrics on screen?

No. Breathe works with vocals or an instrumental. If you want scrolling words with the cover, Album Stage is built for that.

Will it crop my photo?

The look can keep the whole portrait visible and build its depth around it. A clear subject with a little space around the edges works best.

Can I use the result commercially?

Use photos and music you have permission to publish. Videos carry a small OpenMuse watermark until you buy a token pack — any pack removes it for good.

How long can the video be?

It follows the song or excerpt you choose. The example here uses a short hook.

Breathe — 14 seconds, with sound.

Breathe keeps your photograph recognisable while the frame drifts and light rises with the track. One cover gives listeners something to watch while your song plays.

Perfect for

Some moments this fits — there are more.

Single release

Turn the artwork for a new track into a vertical post that already carries the song.

Portrait song

Keep one face at the centre while the music gives the frame movement.

Birthday or dedication

A personal photo with a song written for the person in it.

Quiet acoustic track

Slow drift and soft light suit a song that does not need a busy visualizer.

Archive photo

Give an older picture atmosphere while keeping its character intact.

Tips for the best result

A few small things make a noticeable difference.

1
Choose a clear subject
One person or one close pair gives the depth effect a clean foreground to hold.
2
Leave a little room
A photo with space around the face survives the slow camera drift better than an edge-to-edge crop.
3
Give the song room
Choose a photo with one clear focal point so the movement and light support the song.
4
Keep social cuts tight
A strong hook and one moving cover are often enough for a short release post.

How it works

1
Make or choose the song
Use the short song chat to write and generate an original track, then pick the take you want to keep.
2
Add one strong photo
Choose Breathe and add the picture that should become the cover. The look creates depth, drift and music-reactive light without changing the person.
3
Preview and share
Preview the photo with your song, then download the video to share.
