Sync photos to the beat on iPhone
Beat-synced edits cut to the next photo exactly on the beat. Doing that on a timeline means zooming into the waveform and trimming every clip. Brolled's Beat Sync tool uses taps instead: pick a song, add photos and tap along to the rhythm. Each tap becomes a cut point, and the photos are lined up automatically.
Try Beat Sync in Brolled — free on the App StoreHow to make it with Brolled
- Open Beat Sync. Choose Beat Sync in Brolled.
- Pick a song and photos. Select a track from your library and the photos you want in the edit.
- Tap the beat. Play the track and tap the screen on each beat. Every tap is recorded as a transition point.
- Preview and export. Watch the result, redo the taps if a cut feels late, then export.
Tips for the format
- Tap on the strongest beat, often the kick drum, rather than every note.
- Use more photos than beats in the drop so the fastest section has enough material.
- Check the music's usage rights for the platform you post on, or add a platform sound after upload.
Frequently asked questions
How does Beat Sync work?
You tap the screen on each beat while the song plays. Brolled captures those taps as cut points and lines up every photo transition with the rhythm automatically.
Do I need a timeline editor?
No. There is no manual trimming; the taps define the cuts.
Can I use songs from my library?
Yes, you pick a track from your library. Make sure you have the right to use it where you post.
