Using AI tools to help with music–video sync in AMVs
I’ve recently noticed several AI tools that can suggest cut points and help synchronize visuals to music beats. Has anyone here tried using AI as a supporting step (not fully automated) in the AMV editing process,Geometry Dash and does it genuinely save time while still preserving personal creativity and style?

Re: Using AI tools to help with music–video sync in AMVs
What tools? I haven't seen them yet.
I would consider myself in favor of using AI as a tool to do things that might help to reduce mundane work, to enhance a video, or to help create new things that might not be possible before.
For an AMV, I see selecting cut points and scene selection as the core creative aspect, or basically the reason why someone would be doing this as a hobby in the first place. It's neither time consuming nor difficult. So I guess my question would be, why? What's the point?

Re: Using AI tools to help with music–video sync in AMVs
I could only see a tool that suggests or makes cuts for you to be useful as a tool for AMV creation if you have a project idea that requires that you have cuts in your timeline across every hard cut in the source material. Beyond that, like what Zarxrax asks, what's the point? That kind of thing takes a major part of the creative process out. At that point, is the video yours or the AI's?

Context matters a lot with clips and speed of the song.
For example: An animation at 23.976 FPS is going to be weird with a song that is 165 BPM.
If you have a 24 FPS animation to a song that is 120 BPM, every quarter note beat is exactly 12 frames.
Using AI tools, you can interpolate and upscale a source to be a higher framerate and also increase the framerate of your project.
- If your source is 24 FPS and the song is 150 BPM, that's 2.4 frames per 16th note. You can't edit a fraction of a frame.
- If your source is 30 FPS and the song is 150 BPM, that's 3 frames per 16th note, a clean divide.
When it comes to sync, what you really want to figure out is the speed/BPM of the song you're using, and then base the beats off of that. Then your beats/footage sync will be solid.
