Synchronization is an adaptation

Creative Commons treats placing music in timed relation with moving images as an adaptation. That makes ND music unsuitable for a shared video unless you obtain separate permission.

Check NC and SA before editing

NC can conflict with monetized or promotional video uses. SA can require the adaptation to use the same or an officially compatible license, so review whether that requirement fits the full production.

Credit both composition and recording when needed

Music can involve separate rights in the composition, lyrics, performance, and sound recording. Confirm what the source actually licenses and include the supplied attribution details.
