Tutorial: A 10-hour rain video for sleep

A 10-hour rain video is made to run all night: press play at bedtime and let the rain do the rest. We'll build a rain-on-window one in Sound mode: 40 credits, about ten minutes of your attention.

1. 1

   Start a Sound-mode project

   Dashboard → New Project → switch the mode to Sound.

2. 2

   Pick a template (or write your own)

   Choose the Thunderstorm template, or write: sound — "steady heavy rain on glass, distant soft thunder, no music"; visual — "bedroom window at night, rain streaks lit by a street lamp, dark and calm".

3. 3

   Set duration to 10 hours

   Select the 10 hours preset (40 credits). It's available on every plan — you just need 40 credits; see Plans & billing.

4. 4

   Check the 30-second loop

   Listen to the 30-second clip with the question "could I fall asleep to this?" — it's exactly what repeats for all ten hours, so you want steady texture and no startling peaks. Regenerate until it's right — your first regenerations are free.

5. 5

   Pick the visual

   Pick one of the 4 scene images, then check its 10-second animated loop. For sleep content, darker and slower wins — viewers leave it on a TV in a dark room.

6. 6

   Assemble and let it run

   Continue to the Export step: the video is prepared and rendered on our servers right away. A ten-hour render takes about 1 h 40 min, so walk away — it finishes in the background, and we email you when it's ready. If you plan to upload the video, polish the SEO pack and design the thumbnail meanwhile: keep "10 hours", "rain sounds" and "for sleeping" in the title.

7. 7

   Download promptly

   To check the video, watch it right on the Export step — no download needed. The file will be several gigabytes: download it on a stable connection within 30 days (why). If you're publishing it, upload it to YouTube soon after.
