I hope you're not talking about cardistry videos? Music and Sound design makes up for like atleast 50-60% of the feeling of your video. Ever watched a horror film without sound? Not very scary.
It might not make much of a difference for magic videos, but watching a cardistry video which is edited to go along with the music without listenting to it?
This is veering off subject a bit, but I generally dislike cardistry videos as a genre, so yes, I mute them to minimize the amount of annoyance when asked to watch them. If they are actually edited to go along with the music, it generally doesn't annoy me so I leave it, but if it's just music playing to someone flourishing, I'll just mute it.
I've watched alot of motion design reels by various designers that where underlayed with music I wouldn't listen to usually (because its just not my genre), but since the reels/videos are edited to the pace of the soundtrack its still a joy to watch because the audio and the visuals just make a great combination, even if the type of music might not be my favourite.
There's very little music that I don't listen to. My playlists include stuff from classic rock, classical, some rap, heavy metal, folk, irish, modern celtic, country, acapella, eletronic (including a few dubstep tracks) ... I don't exclude anything until I hear it because sometimes stuff surprises me. So generally if I can't stand the music it's because it either is too loud, or something I just can't stand.
I know those videos, because I made stuff like that alot in the past. Its just part of the learning process if you get into editing. Learning the timings when a scene is to long or the pace isn't right. Thats actually the reason why I recommended the OP in my initial post to start off using a soundtrack with a slow pace. Just because its easier to start with if you haven't enough experience yet.
But taking that as a reason to completly dismiss dubstep and dubstep remixes and telling people "DO NOT USE IT" seems just stupid to me.
I'm not dismissing dubstep. That was someone else. My point was to match the music to the performance. I actually use some dubstep in my fire performances.
