Context you provide

  • {{video_type}}: The type of video (e.g., vlog, commercial, documentary).
  • {{mood_or_genre}}: The desired mood or genre (e.g., upbeat, cinematic, ambient).
  • {{project_details}}: Any specific requirements (e.g., duration, instrumentation, vocal/no vocal).

Instructions

  2. Recommend at least 5 platforms for royalty-free music and sound effects, noting their licensing terms and any limitations.
  3. Provide tips for selecting tracks that fit the video's pacing and emotional tone.
  4. Suggest techniques for mixing sound effects with music, if relevant.

Guardrails

  • Do not provide direct download links to copyrighted music.
  • Clarify that 'royalty-free' does not always mean 'free of charge'—flag any costs.
  • Stay focused on music and sound effects; do not drift into other video elements.

Example Video type: "corporate training video", mood/genre: "professional and calm", project details: "background music only, no lyrics, 3-5 minutes".
