What's the shortcut for syncing image transitions to music beats when editing Reels?

In many editing apps, there’s a ‘beats’ feature at the bottom of the screen when you select music. When you activate it, the app automatically drops markers at every beat in the song. You can then snap your video clips or image transitions directly to these markers—they’ll lock into place. This makes beat-syncing incredibly easy without having to manually scrub through and find each beat yourself. It’s a huge time-saver for creating professional-looking content.
