General Question
When tracks are selected from libraries I assume lots of editing (cut and splice) goes on to achieve a "sync" to the action in a video, trailer, etc.. That being the case what should those of us who are submitting tracks for a forward be keeping in mind to increase our chances of being selected, given that we cannot know in advance exactly what actions we are writing for? (When I imagine a company that is looking through a library for "just the right sound track" it seems the search may take a long time just from the requirement of needing to match something that will "fit" with the action of the scene or trailer. It seems a very daunting task unless that company hired a composer to write SPECIFICALLY for the action.)

And to add to what Cosmic said, quality metadata is extremely helpful to production companies for narrowing down their search.

Re: General Question
The title is important: It should immediately suggest the emotion/mood and style of the track. It was either on TAXI TV or another forum thread that someone said that quite frequently music supervisors, when searching through a library, will first search on genre-mood-title.

Re: General Question
Can anyone speak to the specific process by which selected tracks are applied to action scenes by the end user? (The client of the library)
