Editing to the beat

For the purpose of making a music video one of the key skills that we had to learn was how to edit to the beat. For this task we had to use some footage of dancing mascots and cut them to the beat of a song we were given. In this task I used premiere pro when editing and I found that the ability to expand the audio to see where the sound rises and falls helped me a lot in this task. As this allowed me to see where the beats were so I was able to move the playhead over the beats in order to cut them. It was also crucial during this task to make the actions and the timing/lyrics of the song match for the best visual effect. From this I am now able to edit to the beat much more effectively a skill which I will now be able to transfer to making my music video.
