Why Audio Quality Matters
In video editing, audio is not just an afterthought—it's 50% of the experience. High-quality, well-mixed audio elevates your content from amateur to professional, creating rhythm, evoking emotion, and captivating your audience. A perfectly timed sound effect or a clean voiceover can be the secret ingredient to a viral video.

Step-by-Step Audio Sync Tutorial
1. Understanding Audio Waveforms
The visual representation of your audio is called a waveform. The tall peaks in the waveform represent loud sounds, like a drum beat. Use these peaks as visual cues for where to make your edits.
2. Manual Beat Detection
For ultimate precision, use manual beat markers. Select your audio clip, tap 'Beats', and as the music plays, tap 'Add beat' on every kick and snare. This creates yellow dot markers on your timeline for perfect sync points.
3. Advanced Sync Techniques
Go beyond simple cuts. Use keyframes to make effects (like a camera shake or flash) appear exactly on the beat. This adds another layer of dynamic energy to your videos.
4. Professional Audio Mixing
Balance your audio layers. Your primary audio (dialogue) should be the loudest. Background music should be present but not overpowering. Sound effects should be timed to on-screen actions and punchy.

Common Audio Sync Mistakes to Avoid
Over-synchronizing
Syncing every single cut to every single beat can feel robotic. Let some shots breathe and focus on syncing the most impactful moments.
Ignoring Audio Levels
Music that's too loud can drown out dialogue, and sound effects that are too quiet lose their impact. Balance your levels carefully.
Poor Quality Source Audio
You can't fix extremely poor audio. Use a decent microphone and record in a quiet environment to get the best results from the start.
Forgetting Audio Transitions
Abrupt audio cuts can be jarring. Use the 'Fade in/out' options on your audio clips to create smooth transitions between sounds.
