# Outro Music Maker

> To make outro music, describe your channel's mood, two or three instruments, a tempo and how the track should end, then generate an original instrumental and download the MP3. In Kenerate AI's Music Studio, ElevenLabs Music sets an exact length such as 20 seconds for an end screen; Ken Music 1 makes quick clips of about 30 seconds.

## Steps
1. Open the Music Studio — It starts in Instrumental mode from this page, so no vocals compete with your sign-off.
2. Pick an engine and length — ElevenLabs Music for an exact 10, 15 or 20 seconds; Ken Music 1 for a quick clip of about 30 seconds.
3. Describe the ending — Channel type, mood, two or three instruments, a tempo, and how it should end: a final hit or a fade.
4. Generate a few takes — Play each one under your end screen and keep the one that ends where your video does.
5. Download and edit it in — Save the MP3, place it under the last 5 to 20 seconds of your video, and trim or fade it in your editor.

## In depth

### What an outro has to do
An outro closes the video: it carries your sign-off, sits under the end screen and tells regulars the video is over. YouTube end screens can be added in the last 5 to 20 seconds of a video [1], which is why most outros sit in that range. The music should leave room for your voice and for viewers to read the cards, so a steady groove with few changes works better than a busy track.

### Endings: a hit, a fade or a stop
Endings are where generated tracks vary most, so ask for one in the prompt and check it. In our five demos:
- 'Clean ending on the last bar' gave a clean stop at about 16.5 s inside a 20 s file (ElevenLabs).
- 'Slow gentle fade-out' gave a 4-second fade at the end of a 30 s file (ElevenLabs).
- 'Ends on a hard stop' gave a stop at 23 s with a short tail (Ken Music 1).
- 'Ends on a big final chord that rings out' gave a fade over the last 4.5 s (Ken Music 1).

### Intro and outro as a pair
Channels that open and close with related music sound more finished. Write the intro and outro prompts with the same instruments and tempo, make the intro a 5 to 10 second sting and the outro 15 to 20 seconds, and reuse both on every upload.

### What the licence does and doesn't cover
'Royalty-free' only means you don't pay per use; it doesn't mean free of all rights [2]. Kenerate's Terms say what you generate belongs to you as between you and us, and we claim no royalties [3]. Purely AI-generated material may not qualify for copyright in some countries, and you're responsible for making sure your outputs don't infringe third-party rights.

## FAQ
Q: How long should outro music be?
A: Most YouTube outros run 5 to 20 seconds, because that's how long an end screen can be shown, according to YouTube Help. A stream ending or a longer sign-off can run 30 seconds or more.

Q: Can I make outro music for a YouTube end screen?
A: Yes. Set ElevenLabs Music to 20 seconds, describe the mood and ask for a clean ending. Our lo-fi demo was made exactly that way: a 20-second file whose music stops at about 16.5 seconds.

Q: Can it make YouTube intro music too?
A: Yes. Ask for a short 'intro sting' and set 10 seconds on ElevenLabs Music. Our 10-second demo plays a 4-second sting, rings out and ends in silence, so trim the tail in your editor.

Q: Can I set the exact length?
A: Yes, with ElevenLabs Music v2.5: exact lengths from 10 seconds up. Ken Music 1 has no exact-length setting: our two Ken Music 1 outros, asked for about 20 seconds, ran 25.8 and 28.6 seconds.

Q: Is the outro music royalty-free?
A: Under our Terms the music you generate belongs to you, as between you and Kenerate AI, and we claim no intellectual property rights or royalties in it. You can use it in monetised videos, subject to the Terms and the law.

Q: Will YouTube flag my outro with Content ID?
A: We can't promise anything about Content ID. The track is newly generated, not taken from a stock library, but you're responsible for making sure your outputs don't infringe anyone's rights, and each platform applies its own rules.

Q: Do I own the copyright in my outro?
A: We can't promise that. Copyright differs by country, and in some, including the United States, material generated purely by AI without enough human creative input may not be protected.

Q: Can I fade or loop the track in Kenerate?
A: No. Kenerate has no fade or loop editor, so do this in your video editor. You can ask for 'a slow fade-out at the end' in the prompt, as in our travel vlog demo.

Q: Is the outro music maker free?
A: A new account gets free credits, enough for several Ken Music 1 clips at 12 credits each. Exact lengths on ElevenLabs Music cost 225 credits per started minute, so plan on a top-up for those. Downloads have no watermark.
