Should sound and music be generated with the clip or added in the edit?
On Higgsfield: For a voice-led project through Higgsfield MCP, generate the voice-over first and choose a video model that supports that audio, or generate with native audio and refine the voice afterwards. Cinema Studio 4.0 generates speech, music and sound effects in the same pass as the video.
Without Higgsfield: Generate real-world sound and ambience with the clip as the base layer of the mix, keep music out of the video prompt ("no music, SFX only") and lay it in the edit, muting generated audio where it competes with the track. When the voice or music must set the pacing, generate it first and build the video around it, or put the music and vocal directions in the same Seedance 2.5 request, as for a concert.
Axis: generate the clip silent and score in the edit … use the model's native audio … a separate audio model
Concept: native audio
