How does Beat Sync work?
Beat Sync uses AI technology to find the beats in a song. It then converts the beats into snap points on the audio track that can sync pages and other elements to the music. When "Beat Sync" is on, all pages and elements in the design will sync perfectly to the beat of your music.
Use Beat Sync
- Create or open an existing video, presentation or social media design type.
- Add a video and an audio of your choice.
- Select the audio pill at the bottom of the editor.
- Select Beat Sync on the floating toolbar.
- Select Show beat snap points: This will show in the audio pill when the audio will snap in the timeline.
- Beat Sync pages and elements: This will automatically sync your audio to your elements and your pages.
For uploaded audios in your designs, make sure that you switch Beat Markers from the Beat Sync panel.
What beat does it sync to?
Beat Sync trims the duration of the page to the first beat in the nearest bar.
What are the limitations of Beat Sync?
- It has a 10 minutes or less in duration audio track limit.
- It is only available on Presentations, Social Media & Video doctypes.
