Every cut lands on the beat. When you change the song in Keylight Studio, Reel-E re-times the video to the new beat in a couple of minutes; keep editing while it does ("Syncing to the new song").

The song in use is at the top, marked "On this video". Under it, the start line tells you where the song starts relative to its drop.
Listen to the suggestions
Under Royalty-free, Choose a song shows suggestions. Press play on any song to hear it. Each shows its length and feel: Calm, Steady or Upbeat.
