Gemini Omni invents music or dialogue: how to fix it

The clip comes back with music or speech you did not want.

Why it happens

• Silence was not asked for.
• Negatives were expected in a separate field, which Omni does not have.

Fixes, in order

1. Ask for silence in the prompt itself: write "no music" and "no dialogue" (there is no negative-prompt field).

   “Silence must be asked for, or you get invented music”— Morphic

   ““no dialogue”, “no music” — the model reads these directly”— Replicate, 2026-10-12

   “negative prompts are not supported (you can put your negatives in the regular prompt: e.g., "Do not do X")”— Google, 2026-10-12

   “Negatives go in the prompt itself, such as no dialogue or do not add captions. There is no negative-prompt field.”— Morphic

Change one thing per retry and keep the seed, so you can tell what helped. 4 quotes from the prompting guides linked above; we paraphrase the fix and quote the source word for word.
