🧒 Kids lullaby and bedtime videos

Atlabs makes lullaby videos with soft, calm animated visuals from any lullaby or bedtime song. Upload the song, choose a gentle style and a slow creative direction, and Atlabs builds a scene for each line with the same sleepy characters throughout. The result works for bedtime routines and nursery channels.

Steps

Kids Music Video has four steps: Music, Set Style, Concepts, and Finalise.

Step 1: Add your music

1. Open Workflows → Kids Music Video and upload your .mp3 or .wav (up to 200MB), or paste a SoundCloud link. Made the song on Suno? Download the track and drop it in. No lullaby yet? Make one with Generate Music at app.atlabs.ai/music, for example, a soft lullaby with gentle piano and a calm female voice. Atlabs reads the song's mood, genre, and tempo, so a slow, calm song gets calm concepts.

• Click Upload Audio and drag in your file. Supported: .mp3 and .wav, max 200MB.
• Set the video type: narrative or performance-based with artist's lip-sync.
• If you have a script or an idea in mind, type it in the text box.

• Atlabs transcribes the track, extracting the lyrics/dialogue and detecting tempo, mood, and genre to structure it into scenes. Credits used are shown before you confirm.

Note: If the language or the elements are misidentified, you can easily click to edit and correct it before moving to the next step.

Step 2: Set Style

• Select the aspect ratio depending on where you are planning to post it. (16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Shorts)
• Choose the Video Style: Whether you want an AI Video or you would like to generate the storyboard with still images.
• Finally, pick a soft Pastel 2D, Cozy Plush, or Warm Papercraft Collage style; it suits lullabies better than bright 3D.

Step 3: Shape the creative direction

Pick one of the story concepts Atlabs generates from your song, or edit it.

• Atlabs will give you multiple video directions to select from for the music video.
• Different interpretations of the same song; you can hover and read the one that resonates best with the vibe of the song.
• Incase, you have your own vision, you can simply select the 'Describe your content' option and add 1-2 liner description.

Step 4: Finalise the Cast

Set up your sleep character and the bedroom or night-sky locations so they look the same in every scene.

Atlabs lists the characters, locations, and objects from your concept. Click any card to set it up. Each has three tabs:

• Create New (AI): Atlabs generates it from the details you give. For a character, that means name, age, Visual Appearance, and voice, for example, "a little red fox cub with a teal knitted vest".
• Library: pick one you have already made, or a ready-made one. Use this to keep the same mascot in every video on your channel.
• Upload: use your own image, for example, your channel's existing mascot. Choose Keep Uploaded Look if the image already matches your video's style, or Match Video Style to convert it. See Upload your own character.

💡 Tip: For a series (e.g., a rhyme channel), reuse a character across videos so your channel has a consistent mascot.

Final Step: Finalise Video

Once all 4 steps are set up. You can click on the 'finalise Video' option.

• You can generate 'Storyboard' - still images/visuals for the music video first. (Then, scene-by-scene generate motions and lip-syncs)
• You can choose 'Preview Video' - generate the first 25 seconds with full motion & lip-sync. (To check if this align with your vision)
• Generate the Full Video with everything end-to-end. (Visuals, Motions, Lip-syncs)

Generate the video, then add captions and on-screen words to help early readers sing along and keep the video watchable without sound. Export when ready.

Tips

• Keep scenes slow and simple. Fewer changes between scenes feel more soothing.
• Captions are optional for lullabies. Many bedtime videos work better without on-screen text.
• For a series of lullabies, reuse the same character and style each time. See "Kids series: the same characters in every episode".

🛠 Troubleshooting

• Upload failed? Check file format and size.
• Audio not transcribing well? Try cleaner audio or reduce background noise.
• Incorrect language? Select it manually before clicking Transcribe.
