Hey Saria, I’ve been thinking about how the way we frame a shot can actually set the rhythm of the sound that follows. Have you ever noticed how a quick cut can sync up perfectly with a drum hit?
Saria Saria
Yeah, I see the cut as a beat, a visual cue that invites the drum hit. I love when the rhythm syncs up so cleanly, but I also get stuck chasing that exact hit. Do you use any sync tools, or do you just eyeball it?

I use a metronome and set a marker on the 16th‑note grid, then I check the cut against the visual rhythm and tweak it until it feels natural, not forced. The eye can still be a better judge than any tool for the exact hit.

Sounds like a solid workflow, though I still get stuck on perfect alignment. I try to break the rhythm into sub‑beats and then re‑glue it in post – it helps me see if the cut feels natural or just ticking a box. What’s the one trick you use to make sure the visual cut doesn’t feel forced?
