Make a practice card. Leave a cue for next time. One move from a long video. One phrase you want to get right. AB Repeater turns sections of your video or audio into cards you can choose and repeat. Switch practice sections without resetting A and B every time. FOCUS ON ONE SECTION Choose a card and work on that footwork, entrance or phrase. Move to the next card when you are ready. Slow down playback or mirror your video to practice at your own pace. PREPARE EVEN WHEN YOU CAN'T DANCE Watching a video and noticing something? Write “Right foot first” or “Relax your shoulders” on that section. Bring the note back as an on-screen cue in your next session. Place notes where you want on a video; audio notes appear in a fixed position. SEE THE NEXT CUE EARLY Show a note before its section starts, with an adjustable lead time of 0–3 seconds. Prepare for the next move, lyric or musical phrase. You write the notes yourself; lyrics and captions are not generated automatically. PRACTICE THE WAY IN AND OUT Include up to 1.5 seconds of the original media before and after a selected section. Rehearse the entrance and transition, not just the part between two cuts. This plays surrounding footage or audio; it does not add a silent countdown. It is separate from note lead time. ALSO INCLUDED • Video and audio section cards with repeat selection • Per-section notes, early display and opacity adjustment • Thumbnail and waveform navigation • BPM analysis and manual adjustments to help create sections • Playback speed, video mirror, rotation and zoom • Export videos with notes; export and import practice projects • AirPlay video output and playback control from Apple Watch BPM analysis can be inaccurate. Check the results and adjust when needed. It does not automatically follow tempo changes within a track. Try one video or audio file for free. A one-time purchase unlocks adding more media. No ads or subscriptions.
