### Trending Audio vs. Originality
Using trending audio is great for the algorithm, but original, niche-specific music is better for brand building.

The visual cuts should happen on the beat of the music. This creates a "satisfying" viewing experience that keeps people hooked.
### Volume Levels
The voiceover should always be at least 10dB louder than the background music.
