Here are 10 example app ideas from the WWDC Music Understanding framework session where you could use the new framework:
-
Video editor
- Sync edits to a song’s beat grid, bars, and song structure.
- Similar to how Final Cut Pro uses it for beat detection.
-
Montage / slideshow creator
- Automatically match clips to a track’s rhythm, pace, and structure.
- Great for auto-cutting highlight reels.
-
DJ app
- Organize a music library by tempo or key to help with mixing and playlist building.
-
Music catalog organizer
- Sort songs by musical features like key, BPM, loudness, or pace for better browsing and tagging.
-
Rhythm-based video sync app
- Build apps that align visuals to the beat, loudness, or pace of a song.
-
Game that animates to music
- Precompute music analysis data and use it to drive in-game animations synced to the soundtrack.
-
Fitness / workout video editor
- Create workout clips that automatically cut or transition based on the energy of the music.
-
Music visualizer app
- Show real-time beat, bar, and loudness-driven visuals as a song plays.
-
Audio analysis / music learning app
- Help users inspect songs by displaying sections, phrases, instruments, tempo, and loudness.
-
Playlist or montage generation app
- Build features that choose shorter/faster clips during energetic sections and longer/slower clips during calmer parts.
The session specifically mentions these kinds of uses:
- syncing visuals to beat, loudness, or pace
- organizing catalogs by tempo or key
- precomputing analysis data for music-driven games
- building video editing features based on music analysis
If you want, I can also turn these into 10 concrete app concepts with names and feature ideas.
