This article first appeared in MotionArray. This is an excerpt.
Let’s say you are building a montage or music video where the audio determines where the edits need to be.
- Add your audio to the timeline.
- Play the audio and add markers (shortcut “M“) where you want to add shot changes; generally on the beat.
- Select the clips you want to add in the order you them added to the sequence.
- Click the Automate to Sequence button in the lower right of the Project Panel.
- In the dialog displayed in this screen shot, make SURE to set Placement to At Unnumbered Markers.
- Click OK and, poof!, instant sequence.
