  3. Under Fit to, keep Video length, or choose Selection after marking a range with I and O (Advanced mode).

Song too short, or no steady beat?

The panel says why, shows both lengths ("Song 0:12.0 · Video 1:23.3") and offers What you can do instead:

ButtonWhat it does
Loop until the video endsRepeats the song until the video ends, then fades out: "Plays 7 times, then fades out at the end of the video."
Fade out where the song endsKeeps the song once and fades it out at its own end
Fade out where the video endsFor a song longer than the video: ends it with a fade where the video ends

Each is one Undo step, and the result line has Undo.

6 more details
  • The song keeps where it starts and its own ending. With Keep intro on, it starts from the song's beginning.
  • It needs a steady beat and a song at 1× speed. Add volume keyframes after fitting. If no exact fit exists, it makes a close fit and says how far off it is.
  • One Ctrl+Z undoes the whole fit.
  • With Selection, the buttons say Loop until the selection ends and Fade out where the selection ends, and stop there.
  • Loop until the video ends refuses more than 100 repeats.
  • Songs with a steady beat also give snapping points (beats) while you drag. See Timeline basics.
