This is the opposite of what I thought I wanted, but it's still pretty great.

The video and song are slightly out of sync (at least on my device) and it really bothers me.

I have strongly mixed feelings about this
Me too sorta. I tried for something shorter this time around as I normally do the whole video or most of the video for better or worse. I picked the part with the most choreography that synced best to the song. Anyway constructive critiques are always welcome.
Edit: For what it's worth, here's a full length version
The only thing I don't have mixed feelings about is wanting more blackpink stuff on here. lol
Lol. Thanks! I think there’s a lot of SharedBPM potential in K-Pop videos.
Lmao same
Blackpink is the revolution
If you're genuinely interested in constructive critique maybe you can help me understand why this and so many other sharedBPMs do NOT seem like the video and the music are synced up. I tried it in both firefox and chrome to see if maybe it was a playback error, but other than one cut jump, it seems like the timing is off.
I have a couple questions:
I see so many sharedBPMs where I wonder if the creator has no sense of rhythm to the point where I think there has to be another explanation.
Thanks for the feedback. When I have some more time I’ll get back to you with more detailed answered but super quickly:
I use waveforms as a guide for marking up the replacement song. I don’t pay much attention to the original audio waveform. I have more have success marking things like claps, dance moves, and cuts in the video and marking parts of the song that stylistically work together. Then I experiment with where they line up the best beat wise if that makes sense.
I normally start with the ubc database and then try to find at least two sources that agree on the bpm (songbpm.com, tunebat, etc). Also I almost always start with the video and then try a bunch of different songs with the same bpm until I find one that works the best. It’s just a lot of trial and error.
I edit in final cut and to my ear the render and the Reddit video sound the same. I don’t think there’s any technical problem on your end. Most likely it’s my lack of rhythm or we just perceive it differently. I’m definitely not musically talented but everyone once in awhile I manage to make one that people really enjoy so I assume at least some of them a rhythmically “right” together. Mostly I just have a ton of fun making these.
Sorry if that didn’t really make much sense. I’m on mobile. I’ll try to clarify later. Anyway thanks again for the feedback.
Ok, this has been bothering me, why so many sharedBPMs always seem "off" so I've spent some time playing with the videos you used.
Here are my results:
Pink Soulja Boy - Ddu-du-du / Crank That
(direct link to where your video starts here)
NOT WORKING - Soulja Pink - Crank That / Ddu-du-du
I've learned the following:
it's easier to put a faster/busier part of a song to a slower video. A hard cut edit without a beat, note or some sort of audio cue is very jarring. Beats without a cut are ok, but you "hear" a cut and if the music doesn't go with it, your brain doesn't register. I personally think the part of the video you started your clip on is too fast for the audio and it's off by a little bit in timing.
Music video editors cheat, I mean they cheat a lot. Edits are not always with the beat, they may be on a music cue and when you have a different track without that cue, you have a edit that's not supported by the track. To make it worse, if a shot is really short, dance steps in it may not actually be to the beat of the song. When you switch tracks it becomes more obvious.
Match the audio tracks first, don't try matching the audio to the video. I found that because of the cheating that goes on in the edit, the majority of times when I matched a edit/cut to the beat, it felt out of time. If the tracks truly have the same exact BPM matching the audio tracks so that they could play simultaneously like a DJ works MUCH better. If you don't like the timing or the way it plays out, shift the track, but line it to the music.
If you have to cheat to make it work, make the scene cut earlier rather than later. A late edit is more noticeable than an early one.
EDIT I learned that UMG is not a fan of SharedBPMs the Soulja Video with the Ddu-du track was flagged by youtube.
I personally think that Soulja Pink works much better as a Shared BPM. I think the Pink video cheats the edits a lot and it really shows with the slower/less busy Crank That.
Naw it was fire. If I didn't know the orig / didn't see their mouths moving it could have been the video. Moves synch'd up for sure.

STRONGLY.
I mean. I’ve always hated Soulja Boy. It was the bane of my Middle School experience. But I also love BlackPink . 뚜두뚜두 is my second favorite song by them. Extreme allegiances on both components.
