High-energy manga-style AMV edit with split-panel motion graphics

Prompt

The author shared the full prompt.

Create a high-energy 16:9 music video using both supplied video clips, edited to exactly match the full duration of the supplied music.

EDITING:
Analyze both clips and the soundtrack. Select the strongest moments, creatively cut, interleave, rearrange and combine footage from both sources. Build a cohesive, fast-paced edit driven by the music's rhythm, energy, transitions and emotional progression. Freely alternate between clips, create visual connections and synchronize key actions with musical accents. Avoid simply playing the clips sequentially.

GRID STRUCTURE:
Use a dynamic, asymmetrical manga-inspired panel layout with large dominant panels, narrow strips, tilted rectangles and smaller supporting panels separated by clean white gutters. Use the reference image strictly for panel geometry, not its artwork or visual style. Mix moments from both clips across different panels, creating coordinated compositions. On major beats, dynamically rearrange panel sizes, positions and boundaries.

VISUAL EFFECTS:
Blend aggressive style infections spreading between neighboring panels with temporal variations, motion echoes, frame repetitions, time offsets and impact freezes. Create dense, layered visual effects, rhythmic flashes, graphic symbols and cross-panel chain reactions. Synchronize everything precisely to the soundtrack.

CREATIVE DIRECTION:
Let the footage and music guide all editing decisions, visual treatments, effects and transitions. Be bold, experimental and visually inventive. Keep the original characters, actions and environments clearly recognizable. Use large panels to maintain visual clarity while smaller panels explore creative variations. Effects should enhance the footage rather than replace it.

AUDIO:
Preserve the original audio from both clips, including dialogue, sound effects and ambience. Retain relevant sounds from the selected moments and mix them naturally with the supplied music. The soundtrack drives the edit and plays uninterrupted from beginning to end.
No typography, text, letters or numbers.
