How to select, time, process and transition music in your videos.

By now it's old news that digital audio offers editors power and flexibility that were once available only in the medium of film; and maybe the easiest way to flex all that muscle is with music. While it's important to reinforce the video stream with well-chosen music selections, here we'll focus on how to manage all the music that you've picked.

Starting with the assumption that your show includes more than one piece of music, we'll show how to choose different selections for mix-and-matching, how to time music to picture, how to optimize tracks for underscoring, and how to make smooth transitions from one piece to the next. And while you're browsing in this musical bazaar, check out our exciting grab bag of music editing tips.

Selecting

This is not about how to choose music in general, but how to select two selections that play back-to-back (or at least in close proximity). Basically, you have two choices: similar music styles or contrasting ones, and of these both options have pros and cons.
