# How to score a launch film's audio against pro launch films with earshot

Repo: [Leonxlnx/earshot](https://github.com/Leonxlnx/earshot) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: Seen in the wild

Run a scorecard that lists timestamped fixes for your film's soundtrack and mix.

**Who it is for:** Founder or motion designer finishing a launch video and unsure if the mix is up to standard

**The problem:** There is no objective way to know if the soundtrack is too quiet, too thin or late compared to professional launch films.

**The outcome:** A verdict with scored metrics and a numbered list of timestamped fixes, worst first.

## Steps

1. Export your film as a video file with audio.
2. Run `earshot critique film.mp4` on it.
3. Read the VERDICT and the FIX FIRST list.
4. Apply the top fixes in your audio code or editor, then run the critique again.

## Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Run earshot critique on <film.mp4> and summarize the verdict and the top three timestamped fixes. Verify by re-running critique after the changes and comparing how many metrics are in range.
```

## Caveat

The scorecard compares against a profile of 7 professional launch films, so it suits launch and promo styles, not every genre.
