Add music to set the tone

Music adds emotion and energy to your film. Check the "03_Audio" bin for included tracks or explore more options in the Essential Sound panel by selecting the Music category and using filters. Drag your selected track into an audio track on the Timeline.

Trim clips to the beat

Scrub through your music’s waveform and add markers where the beat hits. Use those markers to trim your visuals to match the rhythm of the music. Adjust your edit until it flows well with the soundtrack.

Pro tips for editing

To make your edit feel more cinematic, mix wide and tight shots, pair clips with similar motion, and use J-cuts by extending the audio before the video. These techniques help your film feel more polished and natural.
