Music video prompt

Create performance or abstract music-video shots with stylised lighting, movement on the beat and a strong visual motif.

You'll need: Access to a text-to-video model · Your track (to match tempo and mood)

Fill in your details

Values are inserted into every prompt below. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

  1. 1Plan the motif and shots

    Music videos hold together through one repeating visual motif. Use a chat model to turn the song's mood into 6 shots that share it.

    I'm making an AI-generated music video. Song mood: {{song_mood}}. Tempo: {{tempo}}. Visual motif: {{motif}}. Suggest 6 shots (2-4 seconds each): 2 performance, 2 abstract/motif, 2 narrative. For each give one line of action and the camera move, and say which part of the song (intro, verse, chorus, drop) it suits.
  2. 2Generate each shot

    Fill this for each shot, keeping the lighting and palette lines identical across all of them.

    Music video shot. {{performer}} {{shot_action}} in {{setting}}.
    Visual motif: {{motif}} visible in the frame.
    Camera: {{camera}}, movement timed to a {{tempo}} rhythm.
    Lighting: {{lighting}}.
    Style: stylised music-video look, bold colour contrast, light haze, slight anamorphic flare.
    Mood: {{song_mood}}.
    Duration {{duration}}, aspect ratio {{aspect_ratio}}.
    Avoid: text, captions, watermarks, logos, extra limbs or fingers, warped faces, flicker, sudden cuts, singing mouths (unless lip-sync is the goal), instruments with wrong number of strings or keys.

Example input

Melancholic synth-pop at 85 BPM; motif: red neon in water; singer walking through a flooded car park.

Example output

Music video shot. A singer in a silver jacket with bleached short hair walks slowly toward camera, eyes closed in a flooded empty car park at night. Visual motif: red neon light reflected in water visible in the frame. Camera: slow backward dolly at face height, movement timed to a slow, 85 BPM rhythm. Lighting: red neon from the side, blue fill from above. Style: stylised music-video look, bold colour contrast, light haze, slight anamorphic flare. Mood: melancholic synth-pop, late-night longing. Duration 4 seconds, aspect ratio 9:16. Avoid: text, captions, watermarks, logos, extra limbs or fingers, warped faces, flicker, sudden cuts, singing mouths (unless lip-sync is the goal), instruments with wrong number of strings or keys.

Troubleshooting

  • The performer looks different each shot: generate a reference portrait and use image-to-video or a character reference feature.
  • Cuts don't feel musical: cut on the beat in the editor; models don't reliably sync motion to a tempo.

Known limitations

  • Models don't hear your track; any 'on the beat' timing has to be done in the edit.
