This guide helps you pick the right kind for fan edits, opening and ending sequences, visual novels and indie games, and shows how to match each track to a scene.

Fan videos and opening sequences

For an opening-style edit, choose a fast track and cut the footage to the beat, saving the biggest rise for your title card. For an ending, pick a slower track and let credits or final scenes breathe.

Check the tempo of each track before you edit, since a 168 BPM opening and a 76 BPM ending need very different cutting.

Visual novels, indie games and streams

A visual novel needs several short moods: a calm everyday piece, a tense mystery piece, a comedy piece and an emotional one. Pick one track for each and loop them under the scenes.

For a stream, an energetic opening-style track works for the starting screen and a tender ending-style piece for the closing minutes.
