Create and Share a BeatsClips Template From a Short Video

Learn how to use a short video as a timing reference, add beat points, publish and share the BeatsClips template.

When to Use From Short Video

Use [BeatsClips] > [From Short Video] when you already have a reference video whose pacing you want the template to follow. This method is useful for recreating the timing of short-form edits, photo sequences, transition videos, and other clips in which media changes occur at specific moments.

You select and trim the reference video, then add beat points at the cuts or rhythm changes you want to preserve. Each beat point becomes a replacement position that other users can fill with their own photos or videos.

Note
Use [From Music] instead when you want to start from a music track and have VN generate beat points from its rhythm. Create and Share a BeatsClips Template From Music
