Music for

Music for video editingfor the hours the timeline is muted.

Play a flat instrumental session for the parts of editing that do not involve listening: grading, motion graphics, logging, exports and any rough assembly you do with the timeline muted. When you are cutting to sound, pause it; nothing should compete with your audio. Deep Focus fits the long, precise hours, Creative Flow the loose first assembly.

Why it works for video editing

Only where it belongs

Editing alternates between listening and looking. The sessions are for the looking hours, and they are easy to pause because nothing depends on where you are in them.

Flat, so your ear stays calibrated

A session with peaks and drops resets your sense of level. Even dynamics leave your ears ready for the next audio pass.

Long enough for a grade

Colour and motion work come in long stretches. A 90 to 120 minute session covers one without a decision in the middle.

How to use it

  • Route the session to your headphones and the timeline to your monitors, or the other way round, so pausing one does not mean fiddling with the other.
  • Use it for exports and renders. The waiting is where attention wanders; a session running keeps you at the desk.
  • Do not edit music to music. When the sequence has a score, the session goes off.

Common questions

Can I use these tracks in my videos?

The sessions are for listening, not for use in your own work. Each artist keeps the rights to their music; their artist page has their links if you want to ask about licensing a track.

Is Creative Flow too busy for editing?

For a first assembly, no; for a fine cut, yes. That is why Deep Focus is the main recommendation and Creative Flow the alternative.

What about photo editing?

Photo editing has no audio to protect, so any session works. Deep Focus for a long culling and retouching block; Late Shift if it runs past dark.

Make music for video editing?

Every session is built from tracks by emerging artists, paid for the minutes people listen. If your music sits still for an hour, send it.
