What This Module Covers

Welcome to this module. The first module introduced the general techniques and the hardware and software you need to start writing a cue. From here on we move into the practical side of music for picture, and into the single tool that changes the way you work day to day: the template.

Two Objectives

1. Building a template

The goal is simple: have a reusable starting point that you duplicate for every new project. What it gives you:

• Time saved on every cue you write.
• Instant access to your favorite instruments.
• A session that is already routed and pre-mixed.

2. Syncing video

This is a core skill in music for picture, and it's the second half of the module.

Put together, these two skills let you work faster and respond to a composition request or a revision without rebuilding your session from scratch every time.
