How to make a video for BeatStars
One 16:9 beat-synced upload per beat
Each beat in your catalog gets its own YouTube video — the discovery surface where buyers find you.
Start the beat immediately
No logo intro, no slow build — artists skim and click away in seconds, so the drop starts at 0:00.
Funnel to your store
Title, description, and a pinned comment all point at your BeatStars link. The video's job ends at the click-through.
Keep one visual palette
The same clip look across uploads turns a list of videos into a recognizable storefront channel.
Why motion beats cover art
Watch time is the signal YouTube ranks on, and a static JPEG under a three-minute beat gives a viewer nothing to stay for. Motion that follows the beat keeps ears on the instrumental long enough for the storefront link to matter.
Beat-synced cuts also read as professional before the viewer can say why — cuts land where the music says they should, so the whole upload feels intentional.
The 5-minute workflow
BPM from your DAW → clips snapped to the grid → export → upload → link the store. Once your clip palette is set, each new beat is a new arrangement of the same structure — about five minutes of work per upload.
The full metadata playbook (titles, tags, pinned comments, storefront links) is in how to make type beat videos.

FAQ
BeatStars is your storefront — discovery happens on YouTube and social, and the sale closes on your BeatStars page. The video's job is to be found on YouTube and funnel the buyer to your store link.
Yes — free demo exports carry a small beatvids.app corner mark with unlimited exports and no signup. Pro ($9/mo) exports clean 1080p, which is the honest upgrade when the channel becomes your storefront.
About five minutes once your clips are picked: set the BPM, arrange on the grid, export. The arrangement is reusable, so next week's beat starts half-done.
The editor is desktop-browser only. On phone you can read the guides and watch examples; build and export on desktop.
