What is a Beat in Video Editing?
A beat in editing refers to the rhythm points in music like drum hits, claps, or bass drops. When cuts and effects are timed to these beats, the video flows naturally and keeps viewers hooked.
Think of it as dancing with your video. If the steps match the rhythm, the performance becomes unforgettable.

Adding beat marks helps you line up edits with the soundtrack. Here’s why it matters:
- Professional feel – Videos look polished and cinematic.
- Better engagement – Viewers love smooth transitions on rhythm.

How to Add Beat in Alight Motion
Follow each step and you’ll be syncing music and visuals like a pro in no time.
Step 1 — Create a new project
Open Alight Motion and tap the + to start a project. Choose resolution and frame rate that match where you’ll post (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube).
Step 3 — Find the beats (listen + watch)
Play the song and watch the waveform peaks. Big peaks usually mean strong beats. Pause at those moments and listen carefully to confirm the drum or bass hit.
Step 4 — Place a beat marker (flag tool)
Move the playhead exactly to the beat and tap the marker/flag icon to drop a marker. Do this for each important beat you want to use in the edit.
Step 5 — Manual marking tips (best practice)
Tap along with the music while it plays to get rhythm headphones help a lot. Zoom the timeline before marking so your flags land precisely on the beat.
Step 6 — (If available) automatic detection note
If an auto-beat feature appears in an update, use it to get a first pass but always check markers by ear. Manual adjustments still make the sync cleaner and tighter.
Step 7 — Sync clips, animations, and effects
Move or split your video clips to align cuts with the markers. For animations, add keyframes or effects (zoom, shake, text pop) exactly at marker points for impact.
Step 8 — Preview and fine-tune timing
Zoom in and scrub the timeline to check each beat hit nudge clips a few frames left or right if needed. Play the full section to ensure the rhythm feels natural and not rushed.
Step 9 — Export and share
When it sounds and looks right, export using settings for your platform (resolution & bitrate). Share the finished video on Reels, Shorts, or TikTok to test audience reaction.
