Music Cue Planner
Plans music and sound-cue placement to match a video's emotional beats.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Music can make or break the emotional impact of a video. You'd want to think about the tone and pacing of your visuals, then find music that matches. There are lots of royalty-free libraries out there, and you can browse by mood or genre. Some people like to start with a song they love and then build the video around it, while others find the music after the edit. It really depends on your style. What kind of content are you making and what's the vibe you're going for?
MUSIC & SOUND CUE PLAN for your video VIDEO STRUCTURE (3 min) 0:00-0:15 → Hook: Rapid cuts, upbeat (establish energy) 0:15-1:45 → Main story: Slower build, emotional arc 1:45-2:30 → Climax: Peak tension 2:30-3:00 → Resolution: Calm, reflective CUE STRATEGY (emotion-first) Hook: 140 BPM upbeat indie (grab attention, no lyrics) Story: 100 BPM cinematic strings (reinforce narrative stakes; swap to vocal at 1:10 for emotional peak) Climax: Builds from 100 to 130 BPM (tension rises with video momentum) Resolution: 80 BPM ambient/reverb (wind down; listener exhales) SOUND DESIGN LAYERS • Main music bed: 70% volume • Ambient texture (under-bed): subtle, continuous (20% volume) • Impact sounds (door close, notification) on key cuts (10% volume, panned) • Silence: Strategic 1-2 sec pauses after emotional moments (gives breath) CROSS-FADE TIMING All song transitions: 2-3 sec overlap (no hard cuts) Example: Story section music fades in during last 2 sec of hook audio RESULT: Viewer feels guided through emotional journey, not jolted by music swaps.
