Turn 3 hours into 10 minutes

Skip the hours of manual editing. Film yourself playing, with one camera or a few, and FlowChord picks out the chords and the lyrics automatically. You fine-tune what you want, then export.

Straight out of FlowChord, fine-tuned in the editor.

FlowChord picked out the chords and the lyrics; they were then fine-tuned right on the timeline before exporting. Everything you see was made in FlowChord, in the browser.

Typical for a 3-minute song. Often the chords come out right and there is nothing to fix.

The timeline

Edit right on the waveform.

Often there is nothing to fix. When there is, you fix it where you hear it: chords, lyric lines and cuts sit on the sound of your take, snap to the beat, and the video follows as you go.

In the FlowChord editor, a chord's edge is dragged along the waveform and snaps to the next beatIn the FlowChord editor, a chord's edge is dragged along the waveform and snaps to the next beatIn the FlowChord editor, a chord's edge is dragged along the waveform and snaps to the next beat

Drag a chord to where it lands

Pick a chord and drag its edge. It snaps to the beat, shows you the bar and the beat, and the video changes with it.
  • Beat grid and bar numbers
  • Zoom in to the millisecond
  • Undo, redo and a full change history
  • Keyboard shortcuts

The full timeline is on a computer.

Looks

One performance, many looks.

Chords, lyrics and the video each have their own styles, and vertical and horizontal videos keep their own. Switch any time: the timing stays.

Up to 4 videos and 4 audio files per project, with 2 videos on screen at a time.

Finishing touches

The finishing touches, built in.

Give the song a title card, add your own text and pictures, and put the video in a frame or on a background. Everything comes in and goes out on its own timing.
