Whole-song music video or a 15-second chorus clip?
Make the 15-second chorus for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, where people decide in seconds; make the whole song (1 to 4 minutes) for YouTube and your release. Start with the chorus: your first one is free, in the same look the whole song would have.

| Where it goes | TikTok, Reels, Shorts, stories | YouTube, your release, your website |
| Shape | Vertical 9:16 | Wide 16:9; other sizes from the finished video |
| What it shows | The hook, with its lyrics on screen | One story across the verses and choruses, lyrics on screen |
| Time to make | About 5 to 10 minutes | About 15 to 30 minutes |
| Credits | Your first one free; then 40 | About 88 a minute (34 as Lite); your first one half price |
When the chorus is enough
Short-form apps reward the hook. A 15-second clip of the chorus, cut on the beat with the words on screen, is what people see first and decide on. If your goal this week is to get the song heard, make the chorus first, post it, and make another one in a different look for the next post.
It is also the cheapest way to check a look: your first 15-second video is free (with a small watermark), and it is made the same way a whole-song video would be.
When to make the whole song
A release needs something to watch for the whole track: a YouTube premiere, the video on your artist page, a link in your bio. TuneArt plans the whole song by its sections (verse, chorus, bridge), writes one story across them, draws every shot in one look and cuts it on the beat, up to four minutes.
Before any credit is spent you see the shots it plans. Every shot moving costs about 88 credits a minute; Lite, where one shot in four moves and the rest are still images with a slow zoom, about 34; fast cuts (a new shot every three seconds) about 124. Your first whole song is half price.
What a whole song costs
| Length | Every shot moving | Lite |
|---|---|---|
| 1 minute | 88 | 34 |
| 2 minutes | 166 | — |
| 3 minutes | 244 | — |
| 4 minutes | 328 | 114 |
