From Raw Footage to Beat-Synced Edit

Four steps. No cloud. No waiting for uploads.

1

Ingest

Point Onset Engine at your video folder. The AI analyzes every frame using OpenCLIP, building a searchable vector database of your entire library.

2

Analyze

Drop in a music track. The audio engine maps every beat, energy curve, drop, and section boundary — creating a temporal blueprint that drives pacing, mood, and intensity.

3

Select

The driver system matches clip semantics to musical intensity. Calm footage gets quiet moments. High-energy clips hit the drops.

4

Render

Chunked, memory-safe rendering with cinematic VFX. Or skip rendering entirely — launch DJ Mode and mix live.

9 Built-In Presets

Each preset controls pacing, transitions, color grading, and effects — from raw, unfiltered cuts to full Hollywood prestige. Build your own and share them.
