How to Make a Music Video That Actually Looks Sick

A weak video prompt names a mood but never directs a shot. Dark, cinematic, emotional gives the model no subject, place, action, or camera behavior.

A useful brief builds one visual world and asks for one shot that can hold for 5, 10, or 15 seconds.

Start with one visual world

Write a sentence that could guide the whole release:

A lone dancer crossing an empty blue subway platform at 2 a.m., hard fluorescent light, wet concrete, slow handheld camera.

That sentence gives the model a subject, place, light, texture, and camera behavior. Keep the same world across the cover, profile image, Canvas, and music video when you want the release to feel connected.

Give one shot a clear job

Music Video Maker creates one generated clip per run. Pick the job before you write the prompt.

Establish the world

Use a wide frame, a clear silhouette, and one strong source of light.

Wide shot of a lone dancer on an empty subway platform, deep cobalt shadows, fluorescent ceiling lights receding into the distance, slow push forward.

Show one physical detail

Move close enough to make the scene tactile.

Close shot of scuffed sneakers sliding across wet tile, reflected blue light, shallow depth of field, camera tracking beside the movement.

Land the hook

Put the largest change inside one shot.

Locked wide shot as a train tears through the station behind the dancer and every overhead light flashes on in sequence, wind moving their coat.

Generate separate clips when you need separate shots. Keep each prompt focused, then edit the finished clips together outside Music House.

Use motion verbs

Use actions a subject, light, or camera can perform:

• tracks
• pushes in
• circles
• drifts
• crosses frame
• snaps into focus
• flickers
• ripples

One motion direction is more useful than a stack of words such as epic, premium, and cinematic.

Pick the format and length first

Music House supports 9:16, 1:1, and 16:9, depending on the model. Gemini Omni and Veo support vertical and wide output; Kling and Seedance also support square.

The output can be 5, 10, or 15 seconds. By default, Music House loops an 8-second AI clip, or a 5-second Seedance clip, to fill the chosen output length. Turn on Render every second for unique motion across supported lengths with Gemini Omni or Kling.

Do not design a wide shot and expect a vertical crop to preserve it. Choose the frame before the subject placement.

Pick the model with the cost in view

The current choices are Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, Kling 3.0 Pro, Veo 3.1 Fast, and Seedance 2.5. Loop-mode costs start at 90 credits and vary by model, resolution, and full-length setting. The Create button recalculates the exact charge as settings change.

Attach a Music House song or beat on iOS, or upload an audio file. iOS can also continue with a silent video after confirmation; web currently requires audio.

Keep final text out of the footage

Generated typography can drift between frames. Add the artist name, release date, captions, and OUT NOW card after rendering. Clean footage is easier to crop and reuse.

A prompt shape that works

Use this order:

shot size + subject + specific place + lighting + physical action + camera movement

Example:

Medium profile shot of a singer alone inside a closed laundromat, midnight cobalt and warm machine light, condensation on the windows, she turns as every dryer stops at once, camera slowly circling clockwise.

Open Music Video Maker, choose the destination format, attach the track, and direct one shot.
