# scenario-seedance-music-video Turns a song into a finished music video: shot list built on the track's sections, clips from Seedance, and an edit laid over the untouched master. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 394 installs · ★ 1141 - Author: scenario-labs - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/scenario-labs/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/scenario-seedance-music-video/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-23 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/scenario-seedance-music-video ## What it does The skill runs five steps: song, lyrics, story, frames, video. `scripts/song.py` reads the master and pulls out hash, duration, loudness, tempo, sections and cut candidates, which then become shot boundaries and cut points. `scripts/build.py` lays the master over the cut once, at the end, and hash-checks the file. Sound gets decided before generation, because that choice sets `generateAudio` on every shot. Song alone means `generateAudio: false` everywhere, and build.py stream-copies the master whenever MP4 allows it. Song over the shots' own sound means `generateAudio: true`, every prompt naming only what the scene itself makes after "diegetic sound only:", plus `"sound": 0.2` in the edit file. Naming an instrument or a genre backfires: one run failed an output-audio content check over an added "distant guitar", and an exclusion like "no music" has failed that check too. The scripts need ffmpeg and ffprobe on PATH, and numpy for song.py. The skill leans on the sibling `scenario` and `scenario-seedance` skills, so those have to be installed as well. It also does not trust a requested aspect ratio: stills and clips land near it rather than on it, and build.py pads the difference. Worth checking the delivered file instead of trusting the parameter. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add scenario-labs/skills --skill scenario-seedance-music-video -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/scenario-seedance-music-video/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/scenario-seedance-music-video/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add scenario-labs/skills --skill scenario-seedance-music-video -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/scenario-seedance-music-video/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add scenario-labs/skills --skill scenario-seedance-music-video -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/scenario-seedance-music-video/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install scenario-labs/skills scenario-seedance-music-video ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/scenario-seedance-music-video/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add scenario-labs/skills --skill scenario-seedance-music-video -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/scenario-labs/skills --path skills/scenario-seedance-music-video ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/scenario-seedance-music-video/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add scenario-labs/skills --skill scenario-seedance-music-video -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/scenario-labs/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/scenario-seedance-music-video/SKILL.md ## When to use it - split a track into sections and find cut points from its tempo - write a shot list that cuts on the beat - generate Seedance clips while holding one look across shots - mix the shots' own sound under the master without clipping - confirm the delivered file carries the original master ## Example prompts - Build a music video from `master.mp3`, starting with `scripts/song.py` to map the sections - Assemble the cut: `python3 scripts/build.py edit.json out.mp4` with the clips' sound at 0.2 under the master - Generate the shots in Seedance with `generateAudio: false` so the song stays the only score ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

The supplied master is the only score, and no shot writes its own. [scripts/build.py](scripts/build.py) lays the master over the cut once, at the end, and proves the file untouched by hash. [scripts/song.py](scripts/song.py) reads the master so cuts land on its structure. The scripts need ffmpeg and ffprobe on PATH, and numpy for song.py. Connection and the core generation loop: see the `scenario` skill in this repo. The Seedance parameter contract and conditioning traps: see the `scenario-seedance` skill. If a sibling skill named here is missing from your available skills, ask the user to install it (`npx skills add scenario-labs/skills --skill `); unattended, proceed from tool schemas and flag the gap. ## The two soundtracks Music written inside a shot restarts in a new key at every cut, so the score comes from outside the video model: the supplied master. What Seedance makes is the sound bolted to the picture. The choice sets `generateAudio` on every shot, so make it before generating: - Song alone: `generateAudio: false` everywhere. build.py stream-copies the master whenever MP4 allows, so the delivered soundtrack is the supplied file, bit for bit. - Song over the shots' own sound: `generateAudio: true`, every prompt naming the sound the scene itself makes (heels on wet asphalt, room tone) after "diegetic sound only:" and nothing else, plus `"sound": 0.2` in the edit file. Name no instrument or genre, however well it fits the track, and ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 30e2f8adfc23ae94 The third-party file has ended.
