Practical mixing and selection tips for background music that supports visuals without stealing focus.

Background Music Guide for Video Editors

## Duck under dialogue
Automate volume so music falls when people speak and rises in visual-only moments.

## Filter competing frequencies
A gentle high-pass or mid cut can keep music from clashing with voice.

## Build a mood board of tracks
Save favorites by mood and BPM so edits move faster.
