Whole song, not a 15-second clip

A song is three minutes, but video jobs are seconds long. The plan is track first, then 18 shots of 10 seconds cut to the verse and chorus, then one Timeline render with the track as the soundtrack.

Workflow

Put tempo and structure in the Lyria prompt, since length is controlled by the prompt. Draft all shots at 480p, keep the best, and re-render only chosen shots at 720p.

Generated video does not lip-sync a vocal, so use performance-free visuals: scenery, dance, objects and abstract motion.
