Music Video Production

Use this skill to turn a song into a coherent, rights-aware, platform-ready video package. Treat the song as the fixed spine: the video exists to amplify its structure, artist identity, lyrics, and release goal.

Do not treat this as generic video generation. Music videos need beat maps, phrase maps, lyric accuracy, sync review, rights notes, performance direction, platform-specific cutdowns, and approval checkpoints.

Ground rules

• Keep the master audio unchanged unless the artist, label, or client approves a radio edit, clean edit, stem edit, speed change, fade, or shortened version.
• Never invent rights clearance. Record what is cleared, unknown, platform-provided, licensed, royalty-free, public-domain, or generated.
• Do not provide legal advice. Flag clearance, likeness, endorsement, union, label, distributor, or platform-risk questions for the client, rights holder, label, manager, or counsel.
• Re-check platform rules at production time. Music libraries, AI labels, commercial disclosure tools, ad specs, and upload limits change often.
• Separate documented facts from production heuristics. Facts should trace to current sources; heuristics are creative recommendations.
• Preserve provenance: song source, lyric source, stems, edits, models, prompts, seeds when available, consent documents, licenses, platform checks, and review notes.
