FAQ – French Music

How do I choose a track for a cafe or coffee brand video?
Match the pace of your footage. A slow waltz feel and light guitar fit close-ups and slow pours. A brighter swing works for busy service, pastries, morning light, and quick cuts.

Can songs with light vocals work under narration?
Yes, if the melody is sparse and the level is modest. For voice-led edits, pick pieces with short phrases, soft highs, and predictable patterns so consonants stay clear.

What works for travel or food reels shot on the street?
Choose cues with a steady pulse and simple motifs. Let ambient city audio breathe between beats. Short stings help bridge scene changes without breaking the mood.

How do I loop a track for a longer background without fatigue?
Use a stable middle section and crossfade on a downbeat. Return to the original ending for closure. Alternating two related cues adds length while keeping the feel consistent.

How do I keep the “French” vibe without leaning on cliches?
Use light touches—nylon guitar, brushed drums, or a soft accordion line in the background. Keep the motif simple and the mix modern. Save bold accordion leads or overt musette flourishes for scenes that explicitly call for them.

What lengths work for reels, intros, and longer edits?
Reels feel tight at 5–12 seconds with a quick hook and a clear button. For intros, 10–20 seconds gives room for a logo or title. Longer videos breathe with 60–120 second beds that loop cleanly, then return to the original ending for a neat close.
