Editing to the Beat

My girlfriend, Niamh, has a Youtube channel and she has been editing a few video montages along to some songs, while it is for personal use I think she has done well with editing to the beat. It may be worth my time to ask her for some tips on how to edit along to the beat, or for some shots to use.


It is important to edit to the beat in order for the video to be appealing to watch, it might be off-putting for the audience if the video doesn't match up with the beat of the music. Additionally, as I wish to focus on Jack's music it'd make sense to edit in a way that highlights his music through the beat.

I believe I could include mini-montages within some of my videos, in fact I was considering making a video for Jack's Summer Nites song - a summer montage would be perfect and quite easy to film, not relying on continuity too much.
