A music brief tied to the edit, not a playlist.

Score direction is derived from the beat map: energy curve, tempo range, instrumentation and the exact points where the bed must recede under narration.

Ducking points marked

01

Energy follows structure

The brief maps musical energy onto the narrative curve so the bed lifts into reveals and drops into explanation. Cues are placed on beat boundaries, which is why transitions land rather than merely occur.

02

Mix intent included

Ducking depth and recovery timing are specified against narration timing, so dialogue intelligibility is preserved at platform loudness without manual riding of the fader.

Actual elements from a rendered episode, exactly as they land in your export package.

Motion blocks in shot order, one graded still from the same set, and the normalised narration stem. Nothing here is conformed or colour-matched after the fact — this is the raw material you drop on a timeline.

Narration stem

Single-take read of the approved script, loudness-normalised and free of music so you can place your own bed and duck it where the edit brief marks it.
