What to listen for

Tutorials, reviews and talking-head videos work best with an instrumental bed that stays out of the way.

A practical selection workflow

  1. 1. Start with the voice or the visual pace, not a favorite genre.
  2. 2. Preview the first 15 seconds against your opening scene.
  3. 3. Check the ending before you edit around it.
Before you publish: preview the music in the real edit or mix, then review the plain-English license summary. The music supports the project; it should not distract from it.
