Hello Greg,
There may be some error in your thinking. Music cannot usefully continue to build through a sustained period of minutes. It should intermittently wind down, slow, stop & start again. After all, the mood & pace of your pictures will change according to the action. Speed-boating & skiing are much different in their mood to shopping & relaxing. Also, location sound can be a very important aural component (wind in canvas, wave-wash, etc), and it is a damaging mis-use of music always to suppress these natural sounds. Music should be used intermittently, and the trick is knowing when to start & when to stop. The first step is to choose suitable tracks for your different action moods. How will you know that your choices are suitable? You will find yourself re-cutting the picture here and there to match the music. This means that the music is having an effect on you, an effect which will be transmitted in your creative editing effort to the viewer. If the music does not impel you to make adjustments to the picture, it will not enhance the picture. It’s not suitable music.

I have only just picked up your post, and you may now have completed your project. If not, say so, and we can talk more.
Best, Bob
