Custom scenes from Music Credits

Many movies have music already in them, does anyone have a tool that can automate the music scene process?

For example, the movie “Big Fish” has Pearl Jam’s “Man of the hour” as the first song for the closing credits. I had to make a custom scene for that AND I could not tag it as music.

Of course I could make a custom collection of scenes that I know that have music and call them up as I want.

Still, this is a time consuming process and pointers or feature improvements to make this a easier task?

Thanks
 
When I thought about this some more, this task requires a great deal of front end work. There needs to be a way to identify songs in a movie, or a pre determined list.

For example, we can export our movie lists as a spreadsheet. Then there needs to be a utlity that accesses a text file of all the songs listed in the credits. Where is this “text file” I don’t know. But once we have it—now we know what movies we have AND what songs that are in them.

Next, we’d have to set start and stop markers to where each song begins and ends. Now, I know some songs are not played to their full length during the film. Still, most songs in the credits are full lenfth versions. I’ll add that they are multichannel—> something we’d really have to be lucky that an official release contained that.

None of this is easy or fast; I’d chock this up for a feature request if possible too.

Here is a generic example of songs in a movie link: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/playboycom/perfect-closing-credits-movie-songs_b_9292566.html
 
So I have been going along with this and the Star Trek Theme that plays as a Multi-channel Credit tracks are really good.
