Short-video music with hits locked to the timeline
Hook in the opening seconds, then place beat hits on the bars that match your cut. The agent will not replace the cue until you confirm 15, 30, or 60 seconds.

Rules for this scene are already in the chat
Short-form hit music is live. A 15-second product cue is already on the staff (8 bars at 128 BPM = 15.0s).
I will not replace it until you confirm 15, 30, or 60 seconds. Name a hit ("hit at 3s") and I will mark that bar. Starters: 15s product, 30s story, emotion hit, ad rhythm.

How short-video music works
01
Confirm 15, 30, or 60 seconds
At 128 BPM in 4/4 one bar is 1.875 seconds, so 8 bars are 15 seconds, 16 bars are 30, and 32 bars are 60. The agent asks before it rewrites the cue.
02
Open on a hook
Product, story, emotion, and ad variants start with a hook section. The first seconds are marked so the picture can cut on the phrase, not after it.
03
Place hit points on bars
Say “hit at 3s” and the agent maps that time to a bar: bar = floor(seconds / bar length) + 1. The bar is labeled % [hit] on the score.
04
Render on the YuE2 path
Preview the timeline, then render with the existing YuE2 worker. cot and ABC are included only when chain of thought is Full or Melody. Export .abc, .mid, and .musicxml.
FAQ
Why does the agent ask for a duration first?
Short-form cues only land on 15, 30, or 60 seconds. Until you confirm one of those, or load a named starter, the current score stays in place.
How are hit points aligned to the video?
A hit time becomes a 1-based bar from the score tempo and meter. At 128 BPM and 4/4, 3 seconds is bar 2 and 7.5 seconds is bar 5. The score records that mapping.
What templates are the A/B/C variants?
15-second product (hook, demo, CTA), 30-second story, a 15-second emotion hit with marks at 1.9s and 7.5s, and a 15-second ad rhythm.
Does rendering always send the ABC?
No. The workspace uses the same YuE2 render route as the studio. ABC is attached only when chain of thought is Full or Melody. Off omits the score.
