Cut your video to music — automatically
Syncing footage to a song by hand is the most tedious part of editing: scrubbing the waveform, dropping a marker on every beat, then nudging each clip until the cut feels on time. My Auto Edit does it for you. It listens to your track, finds the beat, and cuts your clips to the music automatically — so a montage that takes an evening by hand is ready in seconds.

Why automatic syncing lands better
When you place cuts by ear, a few frames of drift creeps in and the edit feels slightly off even if you can’t say why. Because My Auto Edit cuts on the detected beat, every transition lands where the music actually hits. Prefer to compare approaches? Read auto vs. manual editing or the full step-by-step guide.
