This is simply where every time there is a cut it is in time with the music, this doesnt mean on every beat, and it could infact be on a "double time" which means the shots change twice as fst as the beat but it will still stay in time with the music.
"Edits in music videos come more frequently than that in film"
"Music video editing bears a far greater responsibility for many elements than does classic Hollywood film editing"
In films there could be a shot of about 5 or 6 seconds on average but having a shot this long in a music video is quite rare. A music video has to tell an entire story in only the length of the song so alot has to go in.
The editing in the music videos works hard to ensure that no single element (narrative, setting, performance, star, lyircs, song) gains the upper hand.
Basically this means that everything has to be balanced and in proportion, too much of one thing will ruin it and the central focus will be lost.
I will bear these theories in mind when creating my own video
