   the music to it.

Step 2. Create Eye-Catching Lofi Visuals with AI

Visuals are key for a complete Lofi experience. Create eye-catching images that match your music's vibe by using descriptive prompts for your AI tool.

• DALL-E Tips: If using DALL-E, play with wording variations in your prompts. Sometimes a slightly different phrasing leads to vastly different (and amazing) results.

• MidJourney Magic: MidJourney's Discord community is a treasure trove of inspiration and help. You can see what others are creating and get feedback on your own prompts.
  
  For example, try something like "A serene, moonlit night with a cozy room," emphasizing Lofi's characteristic muted tones, soft pastels, warm oranges, and cool blues.

Step 3: Combine Music, Image, and Animation in CapCut

CapCut is a versatile mobile video editor ideal for this project:

1. Import Your Assets: Add your Mubert track and AI-generated visual to CapCut.

2. Set the Mood: Adjust the image size and position to create a pleasing composition.

3. Add Subtle Animation: Use CapCut's animation features to introduce gentle movements:

   • Ken Burns Effect: Slowly zoom in or pan across your image.

   • Looping GIFs: Overlay subtle animations of rain, falling leaves, or a vinyl record spinning.

4. Sound Sync: Ensure your animations match the rhythm and feel of the music.

5. Export and Share: Once you're happy, export your video in high quality and share it.
