- The technical question is how to get a particular visual (an explosion, a punch, or whatever) to land in sync with a particular point in the audio (usually a beat, but not always). It really helps to be able to look at the waveform of the audio, so, if you can, zoom in on that. If you're trying to land something on a beat, you will probably see a spike in the audio where the beat is. Find the frame that you want to land on that beat (the moment of impact, the point where the light starts to get really bright) and position it three frames BEFORE the spike in the waveform. Then replay and tweak as necessary -- three frames is a guideline, but a lot depends on the exact visual and sound that you're working with.
