The song comes first, and the picture is cut to it.
Seedance levers:
the song on the timeline before any picture;
the picture cut on beats, on lyric changes and at new sections;
the chorus gets the strongest performance shots;
singing plates from Template F (see Speaking shots and lip sync → Templates C, E and F, and the worked example in Video with Seedance → 14. Egyptian pop chorus);
generated sound muted wherever it fights the track.
Biggest risk: off-beat cuts.
