Rhythm Frame — Opener

A punchy 16:9 title opener rebuilt frame-for-frame from a reference reel: tall rounded panels deal in over black while a serif title types out and a colour-cycling loading bar counts up, the panels regroup into a row of rounded squares over grey, then diagonal slash wipes carry a hero city montage to a neon-street finale. Drop in one aerial clip for the panels and four landscape heroes.

See how it’s built

Rhythm Frame — Opener is 21 layers of video, text and sound stacked on a timeline. The structure view draws that timeline out — when each piece appears, how long it holds, what sits in front of what, and exactly which layers are yours to replace. No wording or footage, just the shape of the edit.

Reads the published template live each time you open it, so it always matches what the app loads.

How big the exported file will be

ExpoCut renders on your device and picks a bitrate from the frame size and the quality you choose, so the file scales with both. At 7.4s and 16:9, expect roughly:

Rhythm Frame — Opener — estimated export size for 7.4s of video
Export settingFrame sizeMedium qualityHigh quality
720p 1280×720 3.4 MB 5.0 MB
1080p 1920×1080 7.5 MB 11 MB
4K 3840×2160 29 MB 44 MB

These are estimates from the encoder’s own bitrate rule, not fixed numbers. Busy footage — fast motion, grain, confetti, hard cuts — compresses worse and lands above the estimate; a mostly-static talking head lands below it. 1080p is the right choice for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, which all re-encode what you upload anyway; 4K is worth the extra size when you want to crop or reframe later. Uploading is where a big file costs you, not the render.
