Here's the secret to videos that feel great to watch, with cuts that land perfectly on the beat of the music. We'll mark the beats with markers and then cut in sync with the snap. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Premiere Pro series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Music videos and montages feel alive when each cut lands on the beat of the music. In this episode, we'll mark the beats with markers while playing the music, then use snap to make the cuts stick precisely to the markers. A culinary sequence contains music in track A2 and several cooking clips in V1.
Notice the music waveform, the high peaks are usually the drum hits. That's where the image cuts feel most fitting.
Make sure no clips are selected, press home then space to play. Every time a strong beat is heard, press M. A green marker appears on the ruler timeline following the beat. Stop after about 20 seconds.
Make sure the snap button is lit blue, or press S. Drag the playhead close to the marker, the playhead sticks precisely to the marker. The same applies to the end of clips and the razor tool, everything sticks to the marker when snap is active.
Select the razor tool, aim it at the first marker in track V1. A yellow snap line appears. Click to cut precisely on the beat. Repeat at the next markers. Return to the selection tool with V. Now each cut lasts for one beat.
Replace the content of some cuts with other cooking clips by holding alt and dragging a clip from the project panel into the cut. The length remains the same, only the image changes.
Press home then space. The images of API, fried rice, and satay change exactly on every beat of the music. The montage feels much more energetic compared to random clips.
Done. We've read the beats from the waveform, marked the beats with M while playing, used snap, cut exactly on the marker, replaced the clip content with silk thread, and played the montage in rhythm. In the next episode, we'll use lift and extract. Need product advertisement videos, business profile videos, reels and TikTok content, or subtitles for YouTube videos?
