Thriller Cues for Crime Stories

Urgent, pulsing cues for crime dramas, true crime videos, police procedurals and spy or hacking scenes. Start with Behind The Veil, Cold Case, Crimson Hunt, Deceptive Intent or Do Not Cross. Fake surveillance footage with security camera overlays, or bring in police car VFX.

How to score a crime or true crime video

Under narration, keep the cue low and change tracks at each new chapter of the case, so viewers hear the story move on.
For a ticking-clock sequence, cut every two beats, then every beat as the deadline closes in. With the BPM in hand, you can plan those cut points before you start.
Pair a slow push-in on a suspect or photo with a cue that builds, and let the move and the music peak together.
For a slower, smokier mystery, go back to noir and mystery music.
Ticking pulses and sharp hits keep their edge in the WAV, so use it for the final export.
