- Capturing a website and turning it into a video

## Author's description

Turn a music track (an audio file, a video to pull audio from, or a track generated from a mood brief) into a beat-synced video — lyric video, slideshow, or kinetic promo. The music drives all pacing; any user-supplied images/videos are cut onto the same beat grid, and a complete video needs zero assets. Narrated pieces → the input-matched workflow (see /hyperframes). Unclear → /hyperframes.

## Questions about this skill

### Do I need to supply images or footage?

No. A complete video needs zero assets, just typography and templates. Any images or clips you add are cut onto the same beat grid as the music.

### What can I use as the music?

An audio file, a video to pull the audio from, or a track generated from a mood brief.

### Does it work with calm music that has no clear beat?

Yes, with a caveat: beat analysis is only reliable on genuinely rhythmic music. On calm tracks the pacing follows phrases and energy instead, with no hard cuts to the beat.
