MTV clip

[jokaec1]

Can I call a video clip "a MTV clip" (musical TV clip), if in that video someones are dancing and singing? If not, which phrase is appropriate?

Hi, jokaec.

You should use "an" instead of "a".
I don't know if it's natural or not, but I think it's understandable.

"an MTV video clip" or "a video clip from MTV" sounds better to me.

No, because MTV is the name of one specific commercial media organization!

If not, which phrase is appropriate?

What's wrong with "video clip?"

If that video clip is about a song and dancing, can I call it "musical video clip"?

"Music video clip" sounds better.

If it is an entire song, then it is a "music video." It's only a "clip" if you are just showing part of the video.
