1. A system that automatically edits video clips to synchronize accompaniment by different musical tracks, the system comprising:

  • one or more storage media storing video content and first instructions defining a first version of a video clip made up from the stored video content, the first instructions indicating specific portions of the video content to be included in the first version of the video clip and an order in which the specific portions of the video content should be presented, the specific portions of the video content including a first portion and a second portion, the second portion following the first portion in the first version of the video clip, wherein;

    the first version of the video clip includes one or more occurrences of video events, the video events corresponding to particular visuals within the video clip, the individual occurrences of the video events corresponding to different moments within the first version of the video clip;

    the first portion of the video content includes a first video event occurring at a first moment within the first version of the video clip;

    the second portion of the video content includes a second video event occurring at a second moment within the first version of the video clip; and

    the first version of the video clip is synchronized with a first musical track, the first musical track providing an accompaniment for the video clip, the first musical track characterized by first musical track audio event markers including a first audio event marker occurring at a third moment within the first musical track and a second audio event marker occurring at a fourth moment within the first musical track, the fourth moment occurring later in the first musical track than the third moment, the individual first musical track audio event markers corresponding to different moments within the first musical track and characterizing audio characteristics of the first musical track at the different moments,wherein;

    the first version of the video clip is synchronized with the first musical track such that the first moment corresponding to the first video event is aligned to the third moment corresponding to the first audio event marker and the second moment corresponding to the second video event is aligned to the fourth moment corresponding to the second audio event marker; and

    a boundary between the first portion of the video content and the second portion of the video content in the first version of the video clip is located at a beat of the first musical track at or near a mid-point of the first video event and the second video event; and

    one or more physical processors configured by machine readable instructions to;

    determine that a second musical track has been selected to replace the first musical track as the accompaniment for the video clip; and

    determine second instructions defining a second version of the video clip that is synchronized with the second musical track so that one or more moments within the video clip corresponding to one or more of the occurrences of the video events are aligned with one or more moments within the second musical track corresponding to one or more second musical track audio event markers.
