Video Summary
This tutorial explains how to add and synchronize background music in InShot for a promo video. It covers essential audio features such as applying sound effects, recording voiceovers, and extracting audio from existing video files. The instructor demonstrates how to browse themed albums to find the right track and emphasizes the importance of “beat syncing”—matching the song’s energy shift with visual transitions. Because a dedicated “beat marker” tool is no longer available in the app, the lesson focuses on a manual workaround: splitting the track at a precise moment, using pinch-to-zoom for timeline precision, and long-pressing to drag audio segments into perfect alignment.
