Prompt tips
- Set the length to your editGenerating to the cut you already have beats trimming a song to fit.
- Put genre in the style fieldInstruments, era, production and tempo belong there, not in the lyrics.
- Write real lyrics or noneHalf written lyrics produce mumbled filler. Either commit or leave it instrumental.
- Name the arcSay where it should build and where it should drop. Cues without an arc sit flat under picture.
- Keep both takesThey diverge more than you expect, and the second one is often the one.
Mechanism
How Suno V5.5 works
You give it a style description, optionally your own lyrics, and a target length, and it composes and performs the track, returning two separate takes from the one prompt. The length control is what makes it practical for video: you can ask for a cue that matches your cut rather than generating a song and editing it down afterwards.
