Challenge 6: The Soundtrack
Introduction
Music is an important layer of emotion in your ad. To complete your masterpiece, you will use Google’s Lyria model to compose a custom piece of background music that complements the visuals and voice-over.
Description
Using the Lyria model in Vertex AI, generate a music track for the entire ad. Remember to adhere to your brand guidelines.
Once you have a track you’re happy with, add it as a final audio layer to your video sequence timeline. Make sure to balance the volume so that the music complements the voice-overs without overpowering them.
Success Criteria
- A music track is generated for the entire length of the ad.
- The music’s mood and style align with the brand guidelines.
- The music is successfully added to the video, creating a final, polished ad with visuals, voice-over, and a soundtrack.
- You’ve exported your final ad as an MP4 file.
Tips
- Keep in mind that Gemini itself can be a helping hand here. If you give it your brand guidelines and/or your video, it can give you a recommendation for a good soundtrack to use.
- The Lyria model is trained from the point of view of a musician and their instrument. You’ll get better results if your prompt speaks in the language of instruments.
