Music Video Templates: 6 Structures

Performance: open on a wide shot as the drums come in, cut to a close-up on the first line, then medium shots on each bar change, and end on a held close-up. Lyric story: each line gets its own picture of what the words describe, cut exactly on the line.

Dance break: four bars of rapping or singing to camera, then pull back to full body for the dance, then push in for the last line. Product cameo: the artist holds or uses the product on the hook line, and the last frame shows it clearly.

One-take: a single slow camera move through one place for the whole clip, with the artist moving into frame on the chorus. Loop: the last frame matches the first, so a short clip replays without a jump on Reels and TikTok.

In the Cinema studio, Seedance 2.5 accepts up to 10 MP3 or WAV reference files and up to 30 reference photos, and runs from 4 to 30 seconds in one shot, so a whole chorus can be one clip. Upload the song section, a photo of the artist, and write the template's beats with their times in the prompt.

Wan 3.0 also takes up to 5 audio files with a photo of the performer, from 2 to 30 seconds, at 99 credits (~$1.24) for 5 seconds.

A 15-second Seedance 2.5 clip costs 345 credits (~$4.30) and a 30-second one costs 690 credits (~$8.61). Sign-up gives 100 free credits with no card, and the exact charge shows before anything renders.
