Make an AI Song & Lyric Video in an Afternoon (Suno → Adobe Premiere Pro)

Blank page to published: this guide takes a Suno-generated song and turns it into a clean lyric video using Adobe Premiere Pro only. You’ll get a reusable Suno prompt, captions in the Text panel, YouTube-safe loudness, and exports for both 16:9 and 9:16.

What you’ll get: a Suno prompt template, folder layout, Premiere steps for Transcribe → Captions → styling, and export presets for 16:9 & 9:16 (Auto Reframe).

Table of Contents

1) Setup (folders & loudness target)

Suno_PremiereProject/
  ├─ audio/          (song WAV/MP3 from Suno)
  ├─ lyrics/         (final lyrics and SRT if needed)
  ├─ premiere/       (project files)
  ├─ exports/        (16x9 & 9x16 videos)
  └─ thumbs/         (1280x720 & 1080x1920 images)

Loudness target (YouTube): aim for -14 LUFS integrated and -1.0 dBTP true peak. In Premiere, use Essential Sound → Music or Audio Track Mixer to nudge gain before export.

2) Write the Suno prompt (lyric structure)

Lyric skeleton (copy/fill):

[GENRE] [TEMPO] [MOOD]
Verse 1 (2–4 lines):
Pre-chorus (1–2 lines):
Chorus (short, repeatable hook; 2–4 lines):
Verse 2 (2–4 lines):
Bridge (optional):
Chorus (repeat):

Suno prompt template:

Style: [genre, era, instruments]. Vibe: [mood/energy]. Topic: [subject]. Clean, family-safe lyrics. Chorus hook short & memorable; verses paint specific images. Runtime ~2:00–2:30. Clear diction for captions.

3) Generate & select in Suno (Self-Consistency)

  1. Generate 2–4 versions with the same prompt.
  2. Pick the best performance first (hook clarity, phrasing, groove). ↔ Self-Consistency beats one-off luck.
  3. Download WAV (preferred) to /audio/. Save any provided lyrics to /lyrics/ and clean line breaks.

4) Premiere Pro: captions workflow (Transcribe → Create Captions)

4.1 Create the sequence

  1. File → New → Sequence or drag the audio to New Item to auto-match.
  2. Set video to 1920×1080, 30fps (master 16:9). Import your song to A1.
  3. Add a simple background (soft gradient/b-roll). Keep motion subtle.

4.2 Transcribe the song

  1. Open the Text panel → Transcript tab.
  2. Transcribe sequence… → Audio on: the music track. Language: English. Tick “Recognize when different speakers” OFF (single singer).
  3. Review the transcript; fix obvious lyric words (double-click to edit).

4.3 Create captions

  1. In the Text panel, click Create captions.
  2. Format: Subtitles (or your preferred style). Max characters/line ≈ 28–32; lines = 2.
  3. Premiere generates caption items on a new track (C1). Trim any overlong blocks.

4.4 Optional: import your own SRT

If you wrote lyrics first, you can import File → Import an .srt to a caption track and skip auto-transcribe.

5) Caption styling that reads on mobile

  • Open a caption item → Essential Graphics → set font size large, bold, drop shadow, high contrast color.
  • Use safe margins overlay (Program Monitor wrench) and keep text inside the inner box.
  • Split long lines at natural breaths; the chorus can be one line for punch.

6) Exports: 16:9 master + 9:16 with Auto Reframe

A) 16:9 master (YouTube)

  • File → Export → Media → Format: H.264 → Preset: Match Source – High Bitrate
  • Video: 1920×1080, Bitrate 15–20 Mbps
  • Audio: AAC 320 kbps, 48 kHz
  • Check loudness: target ≈ -14 LUFS; adjust gain if needed; export → /exports/song_16x9.mp4

B) 9:16 vertical (Shorts/Reels) with Auto Reframe

  1. In the Project panel, select the sequence → Sequence → Auto Reframe Sequence…
  2. Aspect Ratio: Vertical 9:16; Motion Tracking: Default (Slower for fast action). Click Create.
  3. Open the reframed duplicate → scan shots; nudge Position/Scale if needed.
  4. Export 1080×1920 with the same audio settings → /exports/song_9x16.mp4

7) Thumbnail rules (with “Deep Dive AI” watermark)

  • 16:9: 1280×720; 9:16 crop: 1080×1920.
  • One bold subject + 3–4 words max. High contrast.
  • Place your “Deep Dive AI” watermark bottom-right on all AI-generated thumbnails (house rule).

Keep it bold and readable on small screens.

8) Pitfalls & fixes

  • Words drift out of sync: in Text → Captions, nudge caption blocks ±100–200 ms; use “Merge/Split” to re-phrase.
  • Vocals buried by music: reduce music track 1–2 dB; gentle high-shelf on vocals if you have stems.
  • Vertical crop clips text: re-frame via keyframes; keep captions inside safe margins before export.
  • Harsh loudness limiting: if limiter is pumping, back off 1–2 dB, then re-export.

9) FAQ

Q: Do I need WAV from Suno?
A: WAV is best; MP3 works. If artifacts show, drop 0.5–1 dB or use a gentler limiter.

Q: Can I post commercially?
A: Check Suno’s current terms before monetizing. Save your prompt, exports, and project files for records.

OpenAI o3 vs GPT-4 (4.0): A No-Nonsense Comparison Bottom line up-front: OpenAI’s o3 vs GPT-4 (4.0) OpenAI’s o3 (April 2025) is a brand-new “reasoning” model with a 200 K-token context window, a fresher May 2024 knowledge cut-off, native vision I/O, adjustable reasoning modes, and lower per-token prices than the original GPT-4 (“4.0”) from March 2023. GPT-4 still wins on mature benchmarks and instruction-following polish, but o3’s vast context, newer data, multimodal workflow and cheaper pricing make it the more attractive choice when you need big context or integrated image reasoning.
