Action / Trailer
Trailers, action sequences
"Cinematic action trailer music with driving orchestral percussion, brass stabs, and building string tension. Begins with impending threat, escalates through a mid-point climax, and explodes into a triumphant finale. Heavy low-end from timpani and sub-bass, soaring high-end violins. 140 BPM, minor to major key resolution."

Emotional / Drama
Dramatic scenes, emotional arcs
"Emotional cinematic underscore for a dramatic scene. Solo piano with sparse string swells, building slowly to a full orchestral swell. Melancholic and introspective, 60 BPM, minor key. The music should feel like a character confronting a difficult truth."

Suspense / Thriller
Thriller, horror, mystery
"Tense thriller underscore with low pulsing strings, dissonant piano clusters, and subtle electronic textures. Slow-building dread without resolution, 75 BPM, atonal. Sparse and unsettling — the silence is as important as the sound."

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use AI-generated music in my film commercially?
Yes, on paid plans. SUNO and Udio both offer commercial licenses that cover film and video use. Always verify your specific subscription tier's license terms before distribution, especially for theatrical release.
How do I prompt SUNO for cinematic film scores?
Use the Prompt Trinity Framework™: specify the genre (orchestral, electronic, acoustic), the musical role (underscore, trailer, theme), and the sonic texture (instruments, frequency balance, emotional arc). Include a time cue and describe how the music should evolve — 'builds from sparse to full over 60 seconds.'
Is SUNO or Udio better for film music?
Udio generally produces more nuanced, realistic orchestral sound — better for subtle dramatic scoring. SUNO is stronger for trailer-style, high-energy cinematic music. Both respond well to detailed prompts. Mardea templates work on both platforms.
Can I sync AI music to specific scene lengths?
Yes. Include a time cue in your prompt ('30-second arc', 'builds to climax at 45 seconds'). You can also use SUNO's extension feature to lengthen or loop sections. For precise sync, generate a slightly longer piece and trim in your editing software.
