What is beat-synced video editing?
Beat-synced video editing is cutting and timing clips so they land with the beat of a music track. Instead of nudging every shot against a waveform, Cubix detects the music’s rhythm, sequences your clips into a montage, and times the cuts to the track — so montages, reels, and product videos feel scored rather than assembled by hand.
Beat-synced editing should not mean lining up every cut yourself.
Beat-synced editing makes montages, reels and product videos feel intentional. Instead of manually lining up every clip with the waveform, Cubix detects the music’s rhythm and handles the timing for you. It maps the hits onto a timing grid and cuts your clips to that grid.
Raw clips
Drop in the shots you want in the montage, in the order they should play.
The track
Add your own music or pick a library track. Cubix reads the rhythm from it.
Hits on a grid
Detected hits become the cut points by default. A steady BPM grid is there if you need it.
Beat-synced montage
Clips are trimmed, sequenced, and timed to the music — still editable on the timeline.
What Cubix Beat Edits does
- 01
Detects the rhythm
Cubix analyses your music for tempo and hits so the montage can follow the track instead of a guess.
- 02
Builds a timing grid
Detected hits become the cut points by default. You can switch to a steady BPM grid if the track reads better that way.
- 03
Cuts the montage
Your clips are trimmed and sequenced so each shot holds for a beat-aligned duration — you do not line them up on the timeline yourself.
- 04
Accents the hits
With Energy on, zoom punches and supported accents such as shakes and flashes land on stronger hits rather than every cut.
- 05
Lets you pick the look
Style sets transitions and cut rhythm as one look — Punchy, Smooth, Glitch, Clean, or Retro.
- 06
Keeps the edit yours
Every cut and effect lands as a normal timeline edit. Change Style, Energy, Length, or Revert.
How to automatically sync video clips to music
- 1
Add your clips and a track
Drop in the shots for the montage and the music they should move with. Your own files and library tracks both work.
- 2
Press Beat Edits
Cubix detects the rhythm, builds the timing grid, and sequences the clips into a beat-synced montage.
- 3
Set the vibe
Change Style, Energy, Cut on the hits, Length, or Motion after it lands. Cubix rebuilds from your original clips.
- 4
Review and export
Trim, reorder, or restyle anything on the timeline, then export at your platform’s spec.
AI does the first cut. You set the vibe.
These are the same controls in the Beat Edits dock. Change them after the montage lands and Cubix rebuilds from your original clips.
Style
Transitions and cut rhythm as one look. Clean and Retro are in the dock too.
Energy
Zoom punch on each cut. Stronger hits can also get supported accents.
Punchy and Hard are the defaults. Cut on the hits is on by default; turn it off to cut on a steady BPM instead.
Also in the Beat Edits dock
- Cut on the hits
- BPM when cutting on the grid
- Motion on stills
- Length / loop to fill the track
- Sync to the drop
- Revert
The same montage, without the markers
By hand
“Tap the tempo. Nudge every clip. Redo it when the track changes.”
- Tap out the tempo and place markers — 10–20 min
- Nudge every clip onto its marker — 1–2 min per cut
- Redo all of it when you change the track
Beat Edits
“Pick the shots and the song. Cubix times the cuts to the music.”
- Automatic beat detection from your track
- Clips trimmed and sequenced to the hits
- Style, Energy, and Length still yours to change
- Every cut lands as a normal, editable timeline edit
Made for videos that move with the music
Montages
Turn a stack of clips into a beat-synced montage without lining every cut up on the waveform.
Product videos
Time product shots to the music so a launch or catalog reel feels scored, not assembled.
Travel videos
Cut travel footage to the track so the recap moves with the song instead of a fixed interval.
Reels and Shorts
Build vertical, music-led edits for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok without tapping beats by hand.
Creator edits
Drop in your own clips and music, then fine-tune Style and Energy before you post.
YouTube videos
Open a longer cut with a beat-synced intro or montage, then keep editing on the same timeline.
Cubix times the cuts. You keep the timeline.
Beat Edits is a starting montage, not a locked render. Change the look, the energy, or any individual clip before you export.

Beat-synced editing FAQs
Beat-synced video editing is cutting and timing clips so they land with the beat of a music track. The edit follows the song’s rhythm so montages, reels, and product videos feel scored to the music instead of assembled against a waveform by hand.
Yes. Beat Edits analyses your track, detects its rhythm, and builds a montage where clips are cut and timed to the music. You pick the shots and the song; Cubix handles the alignment.
Cubix reads the music for tempo and hits, then uses those detected hits as cut points by default. If a track is easier to cut on a steady tempo, you can turn off Cut on the hits and use the detected BPM — or adjust it.
No. Cubix detects hits in the music automatically. Manual markers are what Beat Edits is built to replace.
Yes. The montage lands as ordinary timeline edits. You can change Style, Energy, Length, and Cut on the hits after it lands, or trim, reorder, and restyle clips yourself. Revert takes you back to the clips as they were before the pass.
Yes. Drop in your own video, photos, and audio, or pick a library track. Beat Edits analyses whichever track is on the timeline.
Yes. Style (Punchy, Smooth, Glitch, Clean, Retro), Energy (Off, Subtle, Hard), Cut on the hits, Length, and Motion are in the Beat Edits dock after the montage lands. Individual clips stay editable on the timeline.
