So, Echo, ever wondered how the beats you craft could line up with a film’s cut‑rate—like syncing a 2‑second cross‑fade to a 24‑fps frame drop? Let’s break that down.

That’s a neat idea—think of the film’s frame rate as a metronome ticking at 24 beats per second. If you want a 2‑second cross‑fade, you’re looking at 48 frames. Pick a musical phrase that lasts 48 beats in 4/4 at 120 bpm, and each beat will line up with a frame. When you cut, line the start of the fade to a key frame, then let the audio roll out over the 48 frames, so the visual and sonic fades feel natural. It’s just matching the two tempos: the frame rhythm and the musical pulse.
