Make your first score-follow video
A score-follow video is just sheet music that scrolls in time with a recording, with a marker tracking the active line. Score to Video builds one entirely in your browser, nothing is uploaded. Here’s the full path from two files to a finished video.
What you’ll need
- A PDF of the score, engraved or cleanly scanned works best.
- A recording of the piece: MP3, WAV, or M4A.
That pair is your project. Re-export it as many times as you like for a single credit.
The four steps
1. Import
Open the studio and drop in your PDF and your audio. Score to Video reads the score and gets it ready to slice, all locally.
2. Crop
Every page is scanned and split into systems, the individual lines of music, with titles and margins discarded automatically. Skim the detected lines and adjust any that need a hand:
Cleanly scanned, straight pages usually need no edits. Skewed or low-contrast scans may want a quick include/exclude pass before you continue.
3. Sync
Play the recording and tap once at the start of each line. If the piece moves fast, slow the playback down, the timing you tap stays exact at full speed.
4. Export
A calm camera glides line to line with a progress mark under the active system. Export free in 720p, or spend a credit for a watermark-free master in 1080p or 4K.
Tips for a clean result
- Trim silence from the very start of your recording so the first line lands on the downbeat.
- If a system looks mis-detected, fix it in the crop step rather than re-importing, it’s faster.
- Re-syncing is free forever once a project is unlocked, so don’t be afraid to tweak.
