+ # Music and sound effects per style
2
+
3
+ The measurements behind this page: [measured-patterns.md](measured-patterns.md). Per-event SFX mapping, ducking and the loudness gate belong to `wizz-video-effects`; this page decides the **bed and the budget** the style asks for.
4
+
5
+ ## Per style
6
+
7
+ | Style | Music bed | Bed in the kit | SFX budget |
8
+ |---|---|---|---|
9
+ | motion-editorial | continuous, calm, ~0.2 of the voice | `piano-editorial`, `lofi-chill`, `classical-light` | soft whoosh on the 2 or 3 biggest transformations; light typing under one typed pill |
10
+ | explicador-animado | continuous, scored | `cinematic-tense`, `tech-pulse`, `corporate-light` | whoosh on some transitions, soft UI sound on highlights |
11
+ | meme-rapido | continuous, upbeat | `meme-beat`, `tech-pulse`, `lofi-chill` | whoosh/pop on a minority of cuts; `record-scratch` once as a punchline |
12
+ | talking-head-legenda | none or faint | `lofi-chill` very low, or nothing | an occasional pop on a caption keyword |
13
+ | talking-head-cards | faint | `corporate-light`, `lofi-chill` | `swoosh-text` when a card enters, not on every card |
14
+ | podcast-clip | none or faint | nothing | none |
15
+ | camera-no-setup | none or continuous | `tech-pulse` low, or nothing | `click-mouse`, `typing-short` only when the action is on screen |
16
+ | quadro-branco | none or faint | `piano-editorial` very low, or nothing | none; the pen is the sound |
17
+ | desafio-numero | faint | `acoustic-lifestyle`, `meme-beat` | `pop-bubble` or `ding-notify` when a tag or stage icon appears; `ka-ching` on the final price |
18
+ | macro-asmr | mixed: beat (beauty) or none (recipes) | `lofi-chill` for beauty; nothing for recipes | the process sound (sizzle, pour, click) instead of added SFX |
19
+ | pov-vlog | continuous or faint | `acoustic-lifestyle`, `lofi-chill` | none |
20
+ | tour | none | nothing | none |
21
+ | experimento | faint or continuous | `cinematic-tense` low | `riser-short` before the reveal, `boom-impact` on it, once |
22
+ | esquete | none or faint | nothing | none; timing is the joke |
23
+
24
+ "Continuous" means the bed runs under the whole piece with a fade-in and a 2 s fade-out; "faint" means audible only in pauses.
25
+
26
+ ## The kit (`assets/audio/`)
27
+
28
+ Redistributable with the project: CC0, public domain, or CC BY 4.0 with attribution. Every file's source, licence page and edits are in [`assets/audio/CREDITS.md`](../assets/audio/CREDITS.md); durations and loudness per file in `assets/audio/kit.json`.
29
+
30
+ - **Music** (70 s each, fade-in 0.5 s, fade-out 2 s, -20 LUFS): `piano-editorial`, `lofi-chill`, `tech-pulse`, `corporate-light`, `cinematic-tense`, `acoustic-lifestyle`, `classical-light`, `meme-beat`.
31
+ - **SFX** (0.6 to 2.2 s, -16 LUFS target, some lower because of the -1.5 dBFS peak limit): `whoosh-soft`, `whoosh-fast`, `swoosh-text`, `pop-bubble`, `click-mouse`, `typing-short`, `ding-notify`, `boom-impact`, `riser-short`, `glitch-short`, `ka-ching`, `record-scratch`.
32
+ - **Attribution required** for `cinematic-tense` and `meme-beat` (Kevin MacLeod, CC BY 4.0): paste the line from CREDITS.md into the post's description.
33
+ - Known approximations: `corporate-light` is a sparse ambient track with short silent gaps; `tech-pulse` loops a 50 s original once (one audible seam); `glitch-short` is a digital "random" blip, not a long glitch.
34
+
35
+ For more files, [`assets/audio/LIBRARIES.md`](../assets/audio/LIBRARIES.md) separates libraries whose files may ship inside a project from libraries that may only be **used** in a project (most "royalty-free" libraries forbid redistributing the file).
36
+
37
+ ## What the references use (confirmed by a source)
38
+
39
+ Only what a creator's own description, credits or staff listing states; third-party "edit like X" tutorials do not count.
40
+
41
+ | Creator | What is confirmed |
42
+ |---|---|
43
+ | Jeff Nippard | music from Epidemic Sound (video descriptions); a named sound editor |
44
+ | Veritasium | music from Epidemic Sound (video descriptions) |
45
+ | Kurzgesagt | original score and sound design by the studio Epic Mountain |
46
+ | Nick DiGiovanni | a dedicated sound designer (staff listing); no library named |
47
+ | Alex Hormozi | a sound-designer job posting; no library named |
48
+ | Fireship, Greg Isenberg, NetworkChuck, Mark Tilbury, Drew Binsky, Filipe Deschamps, Porta dos Fundos, Niina Secrets | nothing found |
49
+
50
+ Epidemic Sound is a subscription library: usable in a project under its licence, never redistributable in a package. The pattern behind the high-reach explainers is a **subscription library or a composer**, not free packs; the kit here is the free, shippable stand-in.
51
+
52
+ ## Levels
53
+
54
+ Keep the bed well under the voice (about 0.2 of the voice volume in Remotion, faded in and out) and let `wizz-video-effects` duck it under speech and gate the master at its loudness target. Ad use of any track: check the licence column of `wizz-video-effects`' `sfx-licensing` rules (invoke the `wizz-video-effects` skill, references/sfx-licensing.md) before running paid.

+ # Measured patterns across every style
2
+
3
+ Set measured on 2026-10-04: **99 public shorts**, 46 in English and 53 in Brazilian Portuguese, 8 niche groups (9 to 16 per group), views from 23,718 to 107,324,401 (median 608,820). Per-style numbers live in [`data/styles.json`](../data/styles.json) and at the top of each card; this page keeps only what holds across styles. Method and limits: [research-method.md](research-method.md).
4
+
5
+ ## Sound effects are rare
6
+
7
+ | | Cuts with a sound effect on them |
8
+ |---|---|
9
+ | All styles | 154 of 1,490 (10%) |
10
+ | All styles except macro-asmr | 94 of 1,228 (8%) |
11
+
12
+ The macro-asmr count is inflated by the music's kick drum landing on cuts. The rule that follows: **a sound on every cut is the exception, not the norm**. Budget sound for the two or three moments that matter; let `wizz-video-effects` enforce the ceiling.
13
+
14
+ ## Music bed depends on the style
15
+
16
+ 28 continuous, 36 faint, 35 none. Continuous beds cluster in the motion styles (motion-editorial 3/3, explicador-animado 5/6, meme-rapido 4/6); talking heads and podcast clips have none or a faint one (talking-head-legenda 0/21 continuous, podcast-clip 0/12).
17
+
18
+ ## Loudness
19
+
20
+ Integrated loudness ranged from -29.0 to -8.9 LUFS, median -16.9. Pieces with a music bed sat around -15.5; voice-only pieces around -18.9. Platforms normalise playback, so master to the `wizz-video-effects` loudness gate (about -14 LUFS) rather than copying a reference's level.
21
+
22
+ ## Rhythm is a property of the style
23
+
24
+ Median cuts per 10 s go from 0.45 (talking-head-cards) to 5.43 (esquete). Reach does not follow the cut rate: zero-cut single takes reached 600k (quadro-branco, BR health) and 5.4M (a stream clip), while one of the fastest styles (esquete) peaked at 2.9M. Pick the rhythm of the chosen style; do not speed up a style that is slow by nature.
25
+
26
+ ## Captions
27
+
28
+ Read on contact sheets, not measured by a tool. Reach-heavy talking styles use 1 to 3 words at a time, bold, lower-centre, with one keyword in an accent colour (yellow is the BR default). Motion and explainer styles keep captions small or skip them; food, product and challenge styles often have none, because the image tells the story.
29
+
30
+ ## Hooks
31
+
32
+ Read on contact sheets. The first frame already carries the claim: a headline box, a real number, the finished result, or the first stage of a challenge. None of the high-reach references opened on a logo or a greeting.
33
+
34
+ ## What could not be measured
35
+
36
+ - The **name** of any sound effect or music track. What sources confirm is only the library or the people (see [audio.md](audio.md), "What the references use"). The catalogue gives sound **types** and their placement, and the kit in `assets/audio/` gives licensed equivalents.
37
+ - Exact fonts (approximations from frames).
38
+ - Retention: public data has views, not watch time.

+
3
+ ## How a reference is measured
4
+
5
+ `scripts/analyze.sh <youtube_id> <out_dir>` on a public YouTube Short:
6
+
7
+ 1. Downloads it at up to 720p with `yt-dlp` and reads views, likes, channel, date and title.
8
+ 2. **Cuts:** ffmpeg scene detection (`select='gt(scene,0.28)'`). Gives cuts per 10 s and the median scene length.
9
+ 3. **Audio** (Python with librosa + numpy): harmonic/percussive separation. The harmonic floor against its peak estimates a **music bed** (`continua` above 0.13, `fraca` above 0.07, else `sem`). Percussive onsets above the 80th percentile are classified by duration, low-frequency share, centroid and flatness into `pop_click`, `whoosh` or `impact_low`, and counted when they fall within 0.15 s of a cut.
10
+ 4. **Loudness:** ffmpeg `ebur128` integrated LUFS.
11
+ 5. **Contact sheet:** 16 frames across the video. Somebody must **read it** (open the image) before describing the look; the visual fields of a reference come only from that reading.
12
+ 6. Deletes the video file; keeps `<id>.json`, the sheet, the cut list and the metadata.
13
+
14
+ Requires `yt-dlp`, `ffmpeg`, and a Python with librosa and numpy (`VIDEO_STYLES_PY=/path/to/python` when it is not the default `python3`).
15
+
16
+ ## Known limits
17
+
18
+ - Scene detection undercounts cards and overlays sliding over the same shot, and counts nothing in a single take.
19
+ - The SFX heuristic confuses speech plosives with whooshes in talking heads, and a music kick with impacts in beat-driven edits. Per-10-second SFX counts are therefore unreliable; the catalogue uses **SFX on cuts**, which is less noisy.
20
+ - It never names a sound or a track.
21
+ - Views are public views; there is no retention data.
22
+ - Instagram and TikTok need a login and were not used; YouTube Shorts of the same creators stand in for them.
23
+
24
+ ## Adding a reference or a niche (any project)
25
+
26
+ 1. Find high-reach shorts: `yt-dlp "https://www.youtube.com/@CHANNEL/shorts" --flat-playlist --playlist-end 40 --print "%(view_count)s|%(id)s|%(title)s"`; for discovery, `yt-dlp "ytsearch30:<term> shorts" --flat-playlist --print "%(view_count)s|%(duration)s|%(id)s|%(channel)s|%(title)s"`. Prefer each channel's top views and vary the look.
27
+ 2. Measure each one, **one at a time**: `scripts/analyze.sh <id> research/<niche>/`.
28
+ 3. Open every contact sheet and write the visual fields.
29
+ 4. Append an object to `data/references.json` with the same keys as the existing ones (metrics copied from `<id>.json`, `style` set to an existing style key; a new style also needs a recipe in `data/recipes.json`).
30
+ 5. A new niche also needs a short key (one letter, the next free one) in `data/recipes.json["niches"]`, with its label; `nicho` in the reference uses that key. The build fails on an unregistered key.
31
+ 6. `python3 scripts/build_catalog.py` regenerates `data/styles.json` and every card. It refuses a style with no measured reference.
32
+
33
+ Changes made inside a project live only in that project. To make them reach every project, contribute them to the Wizz Method repository (`src/skills-lib/wizz-video-styles/`): the next update installs them everywhere.

+ # Style picker: material first, then niche and goal
2
+
3
+ The material decides which styles are **possible**. Niche and goal only rank the possible ones. A style the material cannot feed is never offered, however well it performs.
4
+
5
+ ## 1. Material → possible styles
6
+
7
+ | What the project has | Possible styles |
8
+ |---|---|
9
+ | Voice only (own recording or TTS), no one on camera | [motion-editorial](styles/motion-editorial.md), [explicador-animado](styles/explicador-animado.md), [meme-rapido](styles/meme-rapido.md) |

21
+ | Actors or one person in two roles, a script with a punchline | [esquete](styles/esquete.md) |
22
+
23
+ **Mixed is normal.** The most common mix: the person on camera for the hook and the CTA, another style in the middle (motion editorial, cards, b-roll). Keep the face on screen as a bubble while b-roll is full screen; come back full screen for the CTA.
24
+
25
+ ## 2. Niche → styles seen there, by highest reach
26
+
27
+ From [`data/references.json`](../data/references.json): the styles measured in each niche, ordered by the highest view count found. Reach depends on the channel as much as on the style; read this as "what works there", not as a ranking to obey.

16

17
+ ## Material it needs
18
+
19
+ A real camera (or phone) filming the screen, the phone in hand, the hardware or a prop. Face optional.
20
+
21
+ ## When it fits
22
+
23
+ Tool demos, AI coding, hardware, 'look what I built'. Feels authentic, not produced.
24
+
25
+ ## Recipe
26
+
27
+ **Look**
28
+
29
+ - Physical camera shots of monitor and phone with hands in frame; close-ups of the product; cuts to clean screen captures when detail is needed.
30
+ - Headline at the top in the first seconds.
31
+
32
+ **Palette:** Real room light, often warm or purple; captions white, keyword in a coloured box.
33
+
34
+ **Typography:** Bold sans uppercase captions, 1 to 3 words.
35
+
36
+ **Motion**
37
+
38
+ - Handheld moves; a cut every ~4 to 8 s between face, hands, screen (NetworkChuck is the fast variant, ~2.7 s); punch-in on the screen detail.
39
+
40
+ **Captions:** Short, uppercase, lower-centre, keyword in a coloured box (purple/yellow).
41
+
42
+ **Hook (0 to 3 s):** The product or the result physically in hand in the first second.
43
+
44
+ **CTA:** Spoken, sometimes 'link in bio' on screen.
45
+
46
+ **Music:** Mixed: none or a continuous bed.
47
+
48
+ **SFX:** Almost none on cuts.
49
+
50
+ ## Do not
51
+
52
+ - Screen recordings that look stretched or tiny; film the screen or use a crisp capture.

21

22

23
+ Food, money, products, everyday economics. The highest single reach in the set (107M).
24
+
25
+ ## Recipe
26
+
27
+ **Look**
28
+
29
+ - A visible progress device fixed on screen: time icons (1 s / 1 min / 1 h) changing colour per stage, emoji checklist, price tags on each ingredient.
30
+ - Close hands, real places (market, street), a reaction at the end.
31
+
32
+ **Palette:** Warm natural colours; tags in bright yellow with black outline; red/green icons for stages.
33
+
34
+ **Typography:** Bold sans; price tags heavy with outline; often no captions at all.
35
+
36
+ **Motion**
37
+
38
+ - A cut per stage of the challenge (median scene ~2.3 s); ingredients drop in; tag pops on each price.
39
+
40
+ **Captions:** Often none (the icons tell the story); when present, white bold word by word with the number bigger in yellow.
41
+
42
+ **Hook (0 to 3 s):** The first stage already happening plus the device on screen (icon '1s', price '$9.84').
43
+
44
+ **CTA:** The final reaction or the total; spoken follow.
45
+
46
+ **Music:** Faint bed in most.
47
+
48
+ **SFX:** Rare on cuts; a pop or tick when a tag or icon appears.
49
+
50

16
+
17
+ ## Material it needs
18
+
19
+ A voice track and animation (2D illustration, 3D anatomy, infographics, charts). Face optional, often as b-roll.
20

21
+ ## When it fits
22
+
23
+ Science, health, fitness, nutrition, finance concepts, any 'how it works'. Among the highest median reach of every style measured.
24
+
25
+ ## Recipe
26
+
27
+ **Look**
28
+
29
+ - Flat saturated illustration (Kurzgesagt) or a dark gym / light neutral background with 3D anatomy and highlights.
30
+ - Red or warm glow over the subject (the muscle, the organ, the number); dashed arrows; before/after comparisons; charts that build.
31
+
32
+ **Palette:** Saturated illustration palette, or grey/charcoal base with one red highlight and one green/neon secondary.
33
+
34
+ **Typography:** Heavy italic sans for titles; plain sans for captions; thin serif or sans for data labels.
35
+
36
+ **Motion**
37
+
38
+ - Scene change every 2 to 3 s; elements build in sequence; highlight pulses on the subject; charts draw.
39
+ - Camera moves inside the illustration rather than cutting.
40
+
41
+ **Captions:** Small, white with outline, lower-centre, often no colour emphasis; titles big in a gradient or bold colour.
42
+
43
+ **Hook (0 to 3 s):** The claim plus the visual of the subject highlighted, or a data point ('19% body fat') in the first second.
44
+
45
+ **CTA:** A summary table or the full routine/sheet on screen; spoken follow/save.
46
+
47
+ **Music:** Continuous bed in almost every case; the richest scores of the set (Kurzgesagt's are composed by Epic Mountain).
48
+
49
+ **SFX:** Whooshes on transitions are common here, still only on a minority of cuts; soft UI sounds on highlights.
50
+
51
+ ## Do not
52
+
53
+ - Static slides with voice over.
54

16

18

19
+ A physical product or food filmed close (overhead or macro), hands in frame. Face optional.
20

21

22
+
23
+ Beauty, food, crafts, any physical product. Fast and tactile.
24
+
25
+ ## Recipe
26
+
27
+ **Look**
28
+
29
+ - Macro of texture (gloss, sauce, dough), overhead table with ingredients, hands working; the finished result shown in the first second.
30
+ - Natural sound of the process (sizzle, pour, click) is part of the piece.
31
+
32
+ **Palette:** The product's own colours on a neutral surface (beige, wood, checked cloth).
33
+
34
+ **Typography:** Little or no text; a watermark or logo; ingredient labels in bold if any.
35
+
36
+ **Motion**
37
+
38
+ - Fast cutting: median ~3.9 cuts per 10 s (scene ~2.2 s), up to ~10 in product macros; each cut is a step.
39
+
40
+ **Captions:** Usually none; quantities in a box if it is a recipe.
41
+
42
+ **Hook (0 to 3 s):** The final result (bite, swatch, finished dish) in the first second.
43
+
44
+ **CTA:** Logo card or spoken; the recipe in the caption/description.
45
+
46
+ **Music:** Mixed; a beat in beauty, faint or none in recipes where the process sound matters.
47
+
48
+ **SFX:** Measured hits here are partly the music's kick; treat the number as uncertain. Process sounds matter more than added SFX.
49
+
50
+ ## Do not

18

19
+ A voice track and a stock of images: code, memes, stock clips, logos, article screenshots. Face optional.
20

21
+ ## When it fits
22
+
23
+ Dev and tech news, explainers with humour, history of a technology, opinion pieces. Highest reach per dev channel in the set.
24
+
25
+ ## Recipe
26
+
27
+ **Look**
28
+
29
+ - Dark or saturated flat background (black, navy, electric blue).
30
+ - Big display text, code on screen, stock footage, meme reaction clips, hand-drawn stick figures, logos stacking on a timeline.
31
+ - Highlighter pills on key words (yellow/orange on BR channels).
32
+
33
+ **Palette:** Black or navy base; 2 to 4 loud accents (yellow, cyan, lime, orange, purple). Official logo colours when logos appear.
34
+
35
+ **Typography:** Heavy rounded or pixel display font for key words; mono for code; bold sans for pills.
36
+
37
+ **Motion**
38
+
39
+ - Hard cuts every 1.5 to 3 s; text pops in; stills slide or scale briefly.
40
+ - Memes and reaction clips as punchlines, usually 1 to 2 s.
41
+ - Timeline variant: items accumulate on one canvas, almost no cuts.
42
+
43
+ **Captions:** Key words only, very large and coloured, centred; or a highlighter pill of 2 to 4 lowercase words lower-centre (BR variant).
44
+
45
+ **Hook (0 to 3 s):** A surprising fact or number in huge type in the first second.
46
+
47
+ **CTA:** Usually spoken; a final meme or the channel's signature card.
48
+
49
+ **Music:** Continuous bed in most (upbeat lo-fi / electronic), low under the voice.
50
+
51
+ **SFX:** Whoosh on some cuts and a pop on text, but only on a minority of cuts (see the measured row).
52
+
53
+ ## Do not
54
+
55
+ - A sound on every cut.
56
+ - Memes longer than the joke (more than ~2 s).
57
+ - Small text: this style lives on huge type.
