Quick answers
Do I need to install anything?
No. The editor runs in a desktop or mobile browser with WebGL. A laptop is more comfortable for longer edits, but phones can preview and export.
Can I change the dance itself?
Yes. Each preset is laid out as its steps on a beat-based timeline, one bar each (STORM II by film section). You can shorten, repeat, reorder or replace any step for the whole squad or for one dancer, mix steps from different dances, and change the formation and camera in the Scene tab.
Which video sizes can I download?
Portrait 1080×1920 or 720×1280 at 30 frames per second, ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Start with 720×1280 on older devices.
Where should I start?
Pick a routine from the dance library, open it in the editor, then come back to these guides when you want to add your own character or music.
