# Plan every shot, then film it to your song

Music Video Director turns one song into a timed shot list (30 seconds by default), with each shot's picture, camera move, and lyric line, plus a key visual and opening and closing titles. From that plan it makes storyboard frames, brings each frame to motion, and joins the clips over your song with lyric captions in a video of up to two minutes, or makes a photo sing an excerpt. Music Video Director works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other agents that run Skills.

## One song, one music video

### The shot list comes first

Concept, timed shots, key visual, and opening and closing titles arrive in the first reply.

### Cut to your song

Each frame becomes a clip, and the clips play over your song with titles and lyric captions.

### A photo that sings

Your photo sings a line of the song, in the photo's own shape.

## How it is made

### Start · Every shot on paper

A 30-second shot list in timed segments, a key visual, and the opening and closing titles.

- Timecode and picture for each shot
- Camera move for each shot
- The lyric line sung over it

### Film · Frames, then clips set to the song

One frame per shot in the video's shape, then each frame in motion, joined over your song in a video of up to two minutes.

### Sing · A photo that sings, or a new song

A portrait lip-syncing a line of the song, or a company, wedding, or anniversary song written from your words.

## Songs that need a video

### Original songs

Give a song you wrote its first music video.

### Company songs

Write the company or hospital song, then make its video.

### Weddings and anniversaries

## Questions

### What do I start with?

The song: its lyrics, what it is about, or the finished track. Add the length and where it will be posted if you know.

### Does the video play my song?

Yes. The clips are joined over your song from its first second, with the titles and lyric lines on screen. Send the chorus as its own file to set the chorus under the video.

### Can a photo sing?

Yes. A portrait photo sings an excerpt of up to 15 seconds, its mouth moving with the words, in the same shape as the photo.

### How long can the video be?

Up to two minutes in one video. A longer song is made as its chorus or strongest section, or as several parts.
