Step-by-Step Workflow
- Open Music Generator for the active project.
- Describe mood/style/energy and select model options in the left music panel.
- Optionally generate a music plan before final cue generation.
- Generate multiple cue variants.
- Review in the central player and adjust timing trims if needed.
- Pick the winning variant from Previous Generations and continue to timeline use.
Usage Notes
- Keep cue naming tied to scene and dramatic purpose.
- Generate alternates early so editorial has coverage options.
- Use plan-generation when you need stronger structure before committing to final renders.
