Here are 10 example app ideas from the WWDC Music Understanding framework session where you could use the new framework:

  1. 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.
  2. Montage / slideshow creator

    • Automatically match clips to a track’s rhythm, pace, and structure.
    • Great for auto-cutting highlight reels.
  3. DJ app

    • Organize a music library by tempo or key to help with mixing and playlist building.
  4. Music catalog organizer

    • Sort songs by musical features like key, BPM, loudness, or pace for better browsing and tagging.
  5. Rhythm-based video sync app

    • Build apps that align visuals to the beat, loudness, or pace of a song.
  6. Game that animates to music

    • Precompute music analysis data and use it to drive in-game animations synced to the soundtrack.
  7. Fitness / workout video editor

    • Create workout clips that automatically cut or transition based on the energy of the music.
  8. Music visualizer app

    • Show real-time beat, bar, and loudness-driven visuals as a song plays.
  9. Audio analysis / music learning app

    • Help users inspect songs by displaying sections, phrases, instruments, tempo, and loudness.
  10. 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
