A head-and-shoulders silhouette rises into frame, printed as a halftone in two inks. On every beat, every half second at the default 120 BPM, the ink pair switches between combinations of black, white and red and the image punches in slightly, with a stronger punch on the first beat of each bar. Beat squares and a BPM label sit in the lower left. The clip is four seconds and keeps cycling as long as it runs.

You can change the beat length, the beats per bar, the punch strength, the halftone dot size and whether the beat indicator shows, plus playback speed and the background around the scene. Use it for a music video, a DJ or event promo, a beat-synced social clip or an artist announcement.
