Video studio

Edit your video on tracks: the song's parts with their looks, video tracks with words and shapes over them, the sound and the effects. Make it the shape each platform asks for and export it from here. It is the same video as Classic's Timeline.

Pick a look in Classic to see it here; the video tracks draw over it.

Cut to the music

Cut the edit on the song's parts, every few bars, or on a track's notes. A song made in the Music studio is cut on its own notes, exactly; a song file on what its analysis found. Your own cuts stay where you put them, and Undo takes the whole change back.
