## Best Practices

### Visual Design
- **Color Consistency**: Maintain a cohesive color palette throughout the video
- **Motion Pacing**: Match visual intensity to music energy levels
- **Safe Zones**: For social platforms, keep key elements away from edges
- **Loop Points**: Design seamless loops for visualizers and short clips
- **Text Readability**: For lyric videos, ensure text contrasts with background

### Technical Considerations
- **Beat Timing**: Specify BPM when possible for beat-synced content
- **Duration**: Keep clips between 5-30 seconds for optimal generation
- **Looping**: Request seamless loops explicitly for repeated playback
- **Platform Specs**: Always specify aspect ratio for target platform

### Genre Guidelines
| Genre | Visual Style | Color Palette | Motion |
|-------|-------------|---------------|--------|
| EDM/Electronic | Geometric, neon, futuristic | Bright neons, RGB | Fast, energetic |
| Hip-Hop/Rap | Urban, luxury, cinematic | Dark with gold/teal | Slow-mo, dramatic |
| Rock/Metal | Gritty, high contrast | Dark, red, monochrome | Intense, chaotic |
| Pop | Colorful, polished, fun | Bright, pastel | Smooth, bouncy |
| Ambient/Chill | Abstract, flowing | Soft gradients | Slow, hypnotic |
| Indie/Alternative | Vintage, artistic | Muted, film tones | Organic, natural |

## Prompt Tips for Music Videos

When creating music videos, include these details:

1. **Genre/Mood**: What type of music and emotional tone
2. **Visual Style**: Realistic, animated, abstract, etc.
3. **Color Palette**: Specific colors or general mood
4. **Aspect Ratio**: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or 21:9
5. **Duration**: How long the clip should be
6. **Motion Style**: Fast cuts, slow motion, smooth, etc.
7. **Key Elements**: What should appear in the video
8. **Loop Requirement**: Whether it needs to loop seamlessly

### Example Prompt Structure

```
"Create a [duration] [genre] music video in [aspect ratio].
Visual style: [style description].
Show [key visual elements].
Color palette: [colors].
Mood: [emotional tone].
[Additional requirements like looping, beat-sync, etc.]"
```

## Mode Selection

**"Do you want fast & cheap, or high quality?"**

| Mode | Best For | Speed | Quality |
|------|----------|-------|---------|
| `max` | Final releases, official videos, premium content | Slower | Highest |
| `eco` | Quick concepts, social clips, iteration | Faster | Good |

## Multi-Turn Creative Iteration

Use `session_id` to iterate and build upon your music video:

```bash
# Initial concept
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create a visualizer with glowing orbs floating in space",
    "session_id": "visualizer-project-001"
  }'

# Refine based on result
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Add more particle trails to the orbs and make the colors shift from blue to purple",
    "session_id": "visualizer-project-001"
  }'

# Create variation
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create a more intense version of this for the chorus section with faster movement",
