Music in Cuts: where a track comes from, and what the beat grid does once it lands.
Three ways to a track
- Produce one. Ask Cuts for music in chat — mood, genre, a reference track. The track comes back a few minutes long, and Cuts slices the right piece onto your timeline. This is cloud generation, so it costs credits — a flat price, shown in the app — but it’s included on every plan, Free too.
- Extract it. Pull the audio out of any video in your project.
- Import it. Bring MP3, WAV, AIFF, or M4A from Files.
The music track holds one clip at a time — a reel wants one song.
What analysis gives you
The moment a track lands, Cuts reads it — right on your phone: tempo, the beat grid, downbeats, and where the energy is. From then on:
- Cuts snap to beats while you edit — see Cut.
- Highlights mark the track’s best stretches — the hook, the drop — so you can slide your edit onto the part that matters instead of scrubbing for it.
One caveat, stated plainly: on some sparse electronic tracks the bar’s “one” can drift. Beats stay accurate — but if a downbeat-perfect cut matters, check the grid by ear.
Balance
The mixer has a fader per track and live metering — pull the music under the voice and watch the meters. Cuts also levels loudness, so what sounds right in the editor sounds right on the platform.
