How to Sync Videos with Music

Want your videos to feel super dynamic and pro? Syncing your clips to the beat of the music is a game-changer — and super easy once you know how. Here’s how to do it using TikTok and CapCut.

Option 1: Sync Clips Directly in TikTok

  1. Upload your clips:Open TikTok → Tap the “+” → Select all your clips in the correct order.
  2. Choose your sound: TikTok will automatically pair your video with a default sound. Tap on the sound icon to choose a different track that fits your vibe.
  3. Tap “Edit” to enter the editing interface.
  4. Use “Sound Sync”: TikTok will automatically sync your clips to the beat of the music.
    💡 Pro Tip: This feature works best when all your clips are about the same length.
  5. Fine-tune if needed: Tap on each clip to trim or adjust the timing manually for a smoother flow.

Option 2: Sync Like a Pro in CapCut

  1. Start a new project: Open CapCut and create a new project. Import the video clips you want to use.
  2. Add your music: Tap on the “Audio” button → Select “Sounds” → Choose a track from the CapCut library or import your own.
  3. Generate beat markers: After selecting your music, tap on “Beats” → Turn on “Auto Generate”. Adjust the intensity (spacing between beat markers) to fit your style, then tap the check mark.
  4. Match your clips to the beat: Align your video clips so they cut perfectly on the beat markers for a smooth, rhythmic edit.

Quick Tips:

  • Use high-energy songs with clear beats for the best effect.
  • Keep clips short (0.5–2s) to match the rhythm quickly.
  • Preview the video with music multiple times before exporting!
