Workflow steps
- 1Pick the moodDecide tone first: uplifting, tense, mysterious, comedic.Mood matching is more important than genre matching.
- 2Generate with AI music toolsUse AI music generators with mood and tempo prompts.Iterate prompts; first generation rarely fits the edit.
- 3Match BPM to cutsPick a tempo that supports your cut frequency.Mismatched BPM is the most common amateur audio mistake.
- 4Layer with sound designLayer foley, transitions, and ambience on top of music.Music alone feels flat; sound design adds depth.
- 5Duck under voiceoverSide-chain music down 6-10 dB beneath voice.Loud music under voice is the fastest way to lose viewers.
- 6Verify license termsRead the AI music license; some restrict YouTube monetization.A copyright claim on your hit video stings more than upfront due diligence.
