Why a stock-footage video takes days
Finding footage that matches
Hours on stock sites looking for clips that share one mood and one colour, then downloading and sorting them.
Cutting it to a whole song
Three minutes of music is dozens of cuts, and every one has to sit somewhere that makes sense.
Timing every line
Typing out the lyrics and dragging each line under the vocal, for the entire track.
What you get
Footage packs by mood
Ready-made packs drawn from Pexels (urban night, nature, lo-fi, space and more), or upload your own clips.
The whole song covered
Footage is cut to the full length of your track, from the first second to the last.
Lyrics on the vocal
