Trailer direction
Turn purpose, footage, and music into an editable sequence. Match the emotional arc and show the game or product clearly.
Identify the output
Use project context, track, audience, channel, length, direction, and footage constraints. Distinguish music research, reference research, treatment, storyboard, edit plan, and assembled trailer. For research-only requests, do not fabricate a final sequence or claim to have edited footage.
Research songs and trailers
Prefer official artist releases, authorized lyric publications, game/studio trailers, and production breakdowns. Inspect audio/video for claims about timing and structure. Link the version examined and useful timestamps.
For thematic searches, record motif, language, artist, evidence, and whether it appears in a verse, repeating hook, chorus, bridge, or another identifiable section. Separate lyrical references from title matches and inferred themes. Quote within applicable limits, normally no more than ten lyric words from a song source; paraphrase the rest and link it.
For trailer references, explain techniques to borrow: opening image, musical entry, reveal, escalation, pauses, cuts, lyric/visual relationships, readable gameplay, typography, ending. A link list does not explain fit.
Do not invent BPM, bars, section labels, or timestamps from URLs or snippets. Measure or verify them, or label the structure provisional. Online availability does not establish permission for release; record supplied or verified usage status without presenting research as clearance.
