How to sync the audio and the visuals in our cutscene

First I gonna leave you a link to another article that explain how to create an audio track in the timeline:

Ok so let’s say we already created the audio track in our timeline and for some reason is not lined with our animations. So the first thing step is to enter in play mode to be able to listen to the audio. In Unity we are able to modify the timeline during play mode and don’t lose our changes.

In order to align the shots with our audio we only have to know the moment we want to change the shot according to the audio and readjust the cameras in the timeline.

As simple as that, no extra steps and no magic tricks. You just have to move the cameras and the animations to make them fit with your audio and as a result you got the perfect cutscene for your game.
