MusicGen sings + VideoGen now smarter than ever

September hits different. The light shifts, creativity kicks back into gear, and suddenly Halloween crawls out of the shadows. This month we’re spotlighting AI that doesn’t just hum. It actually sings your lyrics. Pair that with AI video generation where you control the ending, and you’ve got the tools to storyboard your wildest ideas. Plus, Pop Futurism’s candy-colored takeover proves the future isn’t dark and brooding, it’s pastel.

And... action.

VideoGen now lets you control how your story ends

You could already set the opening shot. Now you can nail the landing too. VideoGen's new Last Frame feature means you control both bookends of your video. Simply upload or generate your start and finish frames, then let AI handle the journey between them.

Don’t forget that VideoGen is unlimited* until October 31…

MusicGen just learned to sing

That's right, full songs with actual lyrics are here. MusicGen now generates music and vocals from your text prompts — think lo-fi hip-hop with poetic bars or cinematic anthems with soulful hooks. Want to know how it works? Check out the full breakdown.

Your complete AI toolkit, explained in under 10 minutes 

You’ve got the tools. Now here’s how to actually use them. Our very own Tom Graham walks you through major AI tools in your Envato subscription, including ImageGen, VideoGen, ImageEdit, and GraphicsGen, showing you how to prompt smarter, recreate reference imagery, and go from still image to full video (to name just a few). If you're after a one-stop guide to get you on the fast track to AI workflow supremacy, this is it.

Pop Futurism is everywhere — here’s how to use it

While everyone else is doom-scrolling, Pop Futurism decided to paint the future in pastels. K-Pop meets glossy gradients meets "what if tomorrow was actually good?" It's running wild through campaigns, packaging, and feeds, basically anywhere that needs to feel less 2025 and more 2025-but-make-it-hopeful.

10 AI image fails (and how to prompt your way out of them)

The dead-eyed stare. The architectural impossibilities. The fingers that multiply when you're not looking. We catalogued the ten most common ways AI images go wrong and, more importantly, the exact prompts that fix them. Consider this your troubleshooting manual for when things get weird.

Halloween’s already haunting the search bar. "Halloween party" searches are up 200% compared to the last two months, while "Halloween background" has climbed 162% (subtle). You're diving deep into "spooky" territory (up 61%) and "scary" content (up 13%). And naturally, the Halloween MVP is trending — "pumpkin" up 77% (as is tradition).

If you're planning seasonal content, this is your sign to get ahead of the rush. Ghostly overlays, eerie fonts, and horror tracks are set to dominate.

Dana shows you how to become your own AI twin

AI filmmaker and tech creator Dana made us a killer tutorial. She threw herself into VideoGen (literally) and created an AI doppelgänger that she animated into a film poster. The result? Equal parts uncanny valley and creative genius.

Watch Dana's step-by-step process on our Instagram, then try it yourself. And speaking of trying it yourself, we'd love to see what you're creating with unlimited* VideoGen. Work of art? Beautiful chaos? Send it our way!
