The type beat video maker that cuts on your BPM
A weekly upload pace needs minutes per video, not another 45-minute timeline session. Your beat, your clips, every cut on the grid.
How to make a type beat video
Set the BPM
Your DAW already knows the tempo — enter it once and the timeline becomes a musical grid instead of raw seconds.
Drop clips on the grid
Arrange your footage in bar lengths that snap to the beat. No hand-trimming, no drift across a three-minute instrumental.
Optional: beat-keyed FX
Layer effects that fire on the kick, snare, or downbeat — on your own footage, not a generated visualizer.
Export 16:9 for YouTube
The horizontal master is your YouTube upload. What you previewed is what ships, grid-exact.
What a type beat video must do
A type beat video has one job: keep ears on the instrumental long enough for a viewer to become a buyer. That means motion that reads as professional, a look that stays consistent across uploads, and a clear path to your storefront link.
The full upload playbook — titles, descriptions, pinned comments, BeatStars links — is in how to make type beat videos, and the YouTube-specific walkthrough is on the producer blog. Want the persona overview instead? See the music video maker for beat producers.
Look like a brand, not a one-off
Channels that sell beats reuse a consistent clip palette across uploads, so buyers recognize the storefront before they read the channel name. Match the look to the subgenre — trap, drill, lo-fi — and keep it stable week over week.
On top of the cuts, BeatVids ships 22 OG beat-keyed effects — kick punches, snare glitches, downbeat strobes — that fire on the grid you set. A YouTube-ready type beat video takes about five minutes once your clips are picked.

Buyers discover beats on YouTube and buy on your storefront, so each beat needs a YouTube upload that funnels to your BeatStars link. The video for BeatStars page covers the seller checklist; this page is the tool that makes the video fast.
The editor is desktop-browser only. On phone you can read the guides and watch examples; build and export on desktop.
Once your clips are picked, about five minutes: set the BPM, arrange on the grid, export. The reusable arrangement makes next week's upload start half-done.
