Logic Pro X - Pretty easy to get up and going with that. It really depends on how much capability you need though.

You can? I'll check out your blurb there boyeee...

I just use Reaper to switcheroo the audio during a video cutscene.

Acknowledging that this thread is pretty old, I’ll just mention for anyone who cares that Ebo Suite for Ableton Live is a pretty interesting alternative approach.

I guess if you really want make a video with different scenes and cuts you will need a full fledged video-editor - as was mentioned before. My recommendations: Da Vinci Resolve Free, Hitfilm Express and Vegas.

I second (for those with FL Studio) what sjm posted here viewtopic.php?p=7536156#p7536156
The ZGameEditor Visualizer is great for some synchronized visual stuff made quickly. After having done that the chops can be exported as mp4 (eg.)and imported into a Video editor to make the real cutting (and importing other chunks as well).

And considering workflowwise: If there is a completed song it is easy to load it up into some video-editor and to make all the visuals therein. For free you also have shotcut and OpenShot.

Some work of course, but better videos probably.

Mac only, unfortunately, but Zwobot is in the same territory and cross-platform.

I now use DaVinci Resolve for all video-editing tasks, though never touched built-in DAW. I already have everything set-up in Ableton and only record one stream of audio in OBS Studio.

DaVinci (Fairlight) supports VST, which could be very useful. Finally a reason to consider buying Izotope RX.

Cakewalk is free for Windows and does video quite well.
But I second Davinci. You could do it in Bkender's VSE too, but if you don't use Blender that would také quite some time...

Can I ask: for the true video editors (i.e. not DAWs), is there anyone that's free and easy to use that works with tempos? What I'm after is an editor that understands that my song is in 112 BPM and snaps markers accordingly (instead of to whole seconds or so). I made a video in Premiere once, but getting scene changes to snap to beats was a pain, and in the end you could tell I'd done it manually anyway.

Cubase pro 10.5 for Windows 10
Or Nuendo as alternative that’s more suited for video

Steinberg wins

Hands down

Free, beat timeline, comparably easy (if you know DAWs) and video is Cakewalk.
I know of no video editor that does have a beat timeline

But in a DAW you edit the audio to fit the video, you can't edit the video. I forgot to add that to my post.
