Use cases · Montage cut to music
Cut your clips to the beat of a song, automatically
Upload your clips and a music track, say how long the video should be, and TellEdit finds the beat, picks your best shots and cuts them on it. No timeline, no keyframes.
A real edit
Same job, other footage
The video at the top of our home page is the same job: 6 beach clips and a song in, a 19-second vertical surf montage out, from one sentence.
See it on the home pageHow it works
Upload your clips and the song
Phone or camera clips, in any order, plus the music track you want it cut to.
Say the length and the format
For example: “20 seconds, vertical, cut on the beat.” Add anything else you care about, like which shot to start on.
Get the montage, then revise in words
Not quite right? Say “make it 15 seconds” or “start with the overhead shot” and it redoes the edit.

Questions
Do I need to upload my own music?
Yes. TellEdit cuts to the track you upload and doesn’t add music of its own. Use a track you have the rights to for wherever you’ll post the video.
Does every cut land on a beat?
Cuts are placed on the beats TellEdit finds in your track. A shot can hold for a few beats when it needs the time, so the rhythm stays without every cut being the same length.
Does it pick the best shots for me?
Yes. It watches every clip, prefers the sharp, steady moments, then fits them to the music. Say which shot you want first or last and it will follow that.
Will it use footage I didn’t upload?
No. TellEdit only cuts the footage you upload. It never generates footage or adds stock clips.
Can I change the montage afterwards?
Yes. Say what to change, like a new length or a different opening shot, and it redoes the edit. Changing an edit doesn’t count as a new edit on your plan.
