# Soundtrack

Curated song(s) added to your video. Like it's own Spotify Wrapped.

## What it is

A soundtrack is the collection of music accompanying a video, film, or show. It may be an original score composed for the project, or licensed songs curated to fit tone and style. It sets tone, mood, and pacing throughout the content.

## Why it's important

Music enhances storytelling and evokes emotion. A well-chosen soundtrack shapes mood, amplifies storytelling, and can even outlive the film itself. It reinforces brand identity, genre, and scene dynamics.

## When/how to use

Choose or compose music during the editing process. Sync it to pacing and narrative beats, and ensure usage rights or licensing are secured before publishing.

## Best Practices

1. **Support narrative –** Choose tracks that reflect mood, setting, and character.
2. **Balance with score –** Integrate songs seamlessly with original compositions or incidental music.
3. **Secure rights –** Always license tracks properly to avoid copyright issues.
