Story

Tell a story with your own photos and videos, cut to your song: six templates from a three-act film to a phone story, each following your song's sections, with original stand-in pictures until you add yours.

Launch modes

Chapters mode

Chapters

A three-act film of your pictures: a title card, a chapter card as each section begins, slow push-ins in the verses, wider and quicker in the chorus, a cut on every bar in the drop, and the last picture held under your end card.

Memory Reel mode

Memory Reel

Your moments on a film strip that moves on a frame each scene, with sprocket holes, a little gate weave and a new film stock every section; the title rides above it at the start and the end.

Darkroom mode

Darkroom

Each picture develops in a tray under the red safelight, then is lifted out and hung on the line; at the end the camera finds a contact sheet of every picture and your title.

Waveform Journey mode

Waveform Journey

The song's own energy becomes a glowing road. Each picture rises from it as the camera passes, the next one waits ahead, and the end pulls up to show the whole road with every picture along it.

Mosaic Pulse mode

Mosaic Pulse

Many moments become one: a grid that grows from one panel to two, four and nine as the song builds, each panel sized by the music, collapsing to one hero picture on the drop.

Social Story mode

Social Story

The phone-native story: progress bars that fill with the song, a header with your title, captions as stickers, a slide on the downbeat, and an ending that loops back to the first picture. Made for 9:16, framed as a card in other shapes.
