This repository contains the code and dataset accompanying the paper "Video2Music: Suitable Music Generation from Videos using an Affective Multimodal Transformer model" by Dr. Jaeyong Kang, Prof. Soujanya Poria, and Prof. Dorien Herremans.

🔥 Live demo available on HuggingFace and Replicate.

Introduction

We propose a novel AI-powered multimodal music generation framework called Video2Music. This framework uniquely uses video features as conditioning input to generate matching music using a Transformer architecture. By employing cutting-edge technology, our system aims to provide video creators with a seamless and efficient solution for generating tailor-made background music.

Change Log

• 2023-11-28: add new input method (YouTube URL) on HuggingFace

Quickstart Guide

Generate music from video:

import IPython
from video2music import Video2music

input_video = "input.mp4"

input_primer = "C Am F G"
input_key = "C major"

video2music = Video2music()
output_filename = video2music.generate(input_video, input_primer, input_key)

IPython.display.Video(output_filename)

Installation

This repo is developed using python version 3.8

apt-get update
apt-get install ffmpeg
apt-get install fluidsynth
git clone https://github.com/AMAAI-Lab/Video2Music
cd Video2Music
pip install -r requirements.txt

• Download the processed training data AMT.zip from HERE and extract the zip file and put the extracted two files directly under this folder (saved_models/AMT/)

• Download the soundfont file default_sound_font.sf2 from HERE and put the file directly under this folder (soundfonts/)

• Our code is built on pytorch version 1.12.1 (torch==1.12.1 in the requirements.txt). But you might need to choose the correct version of torch based on your CUDA version

Dataset

• Obtain the dataset:

  • MuVi-Sync (Link)

• Put all directories started with vevo in the dataset under this folder (dataset/)
