Tips
BGM that doesn't fight the voice-over
What works in our own edits.
Ask for 'no big peaks' or 'steady' under speech.
Avoid lead vocals under narration — use Instrumental mode.
Match the cut: faster BPM for quick edits, slower for long shots.
Generate two takes and pick the one with the cleaner ending.
Set the exact length so the music ends with the video.
