Aphorism MontageWords on the drop

A spoken line over the track: a person walking photo by photo on the beat, circular images that turn while the words land, then the last words hit the drop in full colour with fast cuts.

How it works

A spoken line that lands right on the drop

Record or generate a short spoken line, pick a track with a drop and upload your own footage. The app places every word on the voice, turns the circular images while the line plays and hits the drop in full colour with fast cuts.

01
A track with a drop

The app looks for the moment the bass cuts out right before the drop.

02
The voice on its own

The spoken line with no music. An ElevenLabs export works.

03
Walking photos

15 to 30 photos of one person walking, taken one after another. The app centres the person in every photo and plays them on the beat.

04
Circular images

6 to 10 centred, symmetric clips or photos: domes, vinyl, lenses, stage lights from below.

05
Drop clips

Short, energetic clips of you or the crowd for the fast cuts on the drop.

Estimated recording time15 minutes

1Track and voice

The app looks for the spot where the bass cuts out right before a drop. The last words start there and the picture snaps to colour. If it picked the wrong drop, choose another one or type the time.

2Words

One phrase per line, exactly as the voice says it. The last line lands on the drop. The two before it go over the circular images, everything earlier goes over the walking photos.

Walking photos: shoot a burst or a photo every step while the person walks, keeping them in full view. They play in file-name order, so keep the camera’s numbering. The app finds the person in each photo, centres them and keeps them the same size, so the background jumps and the person stays put. Videos still work in this bin; if you add photos and videos, the photos are used.

Circular images work best when they are symmetric, like domes, vinyl records, lenses or stage lights, and at least 1080p: the app zooms in so the picture never shows corners while it turns. The drop clips play in a loop, so 10–12 different ones look best.

4Look

Every cut lands on the track’s beat grid. The drop cuts fast for the first bar, slows down, then goes fast again on the last beat. The drop length is rounded to the nearest beat.
