How this template is built
- 0.0sThe first chapter
Your first photo fills the frame as the chapter's background.
- 0.2sThe first strip
A quarter beat in, at 0.19 seconds, the first strip lands in the centre slot, 0.8 of the width wide. The rest follow every half beat, below, above, below, above, each a hard cut.
- 2.2sThe cut
A chapter is three beats at 80.38 BPM, so the second chapter cuts in at 2.24 seconds with its own background and strips, and the third at 4.48.
- 6.7sThe last chapter
The fourth chapter cuts in at 6.72 seconds, its five strips are down by 8.4, and it holds half a beat more to the end at 9.33 seconds. With your song the beat is its own; or choose 12 or 15 seconds.

Chapters of one colour
Your photos make chapters in order: each chapter's first photo is its background and the next three, four or five are its strips, as you choose. The list names each photo by its chapter and place, so you can see what goes where, and up to four chapters play.
Strips landing on the beat
Each chapter is three beats. Its strips land a quarter beat in and then every half beat, in the centre, below, above, below and above, with hard cuts, then the next chapter cuts in. By default it plays the reel's own sound; with your song the strips land on its beat. Choose 9:16, 4:5 or 1:1.
