What is Muse Video?

Muse Video is Meta's AI video-generation model, previewed on July 7, 2026. In one sentence: Muse Video turns a text prompt into a short, continuous video clip with sound. What sets Muse Video apart from most text-to-video models is that the sound is not an afterthought — Muse Video renders native audio, meaning diegetic sound effects and voiceover generated in sync with the picture from the same prompt.

Built by Meta Superintelligence Labs

Muse Video is one of the first media-generation models from Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). It launched alongside its still-image twin, Muse Image. Together they mark Meta's push into frontier generative media: Muse Image for pictures, Muse Video for motion. Both are described by Meta as delivering exceptional visual fidelity, with Muse Video adding time and sound on top of the image foundation.

Muse Video's headline feature is native audio — voice and sound rendered in sync with the video, from a single prompt.

Native audio: the headline feature

Most AI video models output silent clips that need audio added later. Muse Video generates the audio itself, aligned to the action on screen. A kettle pours and you hear the pour; a podcast host speaks and the voice matches the mouth. This native-audio approach is the clearest reason Muse Video stands out among 2026's text-to-video models, and it is the capability the preview tool on this site demonstrates.

One pretraining base, shared with Muse Image

Muse Video and Muse Image share the same pretraining base. That shared foundation is why the two models feel like siblings: Muse Image generates and edits still images with agentic tool use, while Muse Video extends that same visual understanding across time into video with native audio. If you have seen what Muse Image can render as a single frame, Muse Video is that frame given motion and sound.

How good is Muse Video? Benchmarks

On Arena — the human-preference leaderboard — Muse Video ranks No. 3 for text-to-video by Elo as of July 5, 2026, and its Muse Image twin ranks No. 2 for text-to-image and image editing. Meta is candid about current limitations: the known gaps are audio-video synchronization and physically accurate fast motion. For the full charts and the leaderboard table, see the Muse Video benchmarks page.

When can you use Muse Video?

Meta says Muse Video is coming soon to creators and in Meta AI. There is no public Muse Video API yet, and this site does not provide live access to Meta's model. What you can do today is explore the concept: the free Muse Video generator here produces a real AI still and previews the native-audio motion, so you can understand the flow before Meta's model ships.
