Make your first score-follow video
A score-follow video is just sheet music that scrolls in time with a recording, with a marker tracking the active line. ScoreTracker builds one entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Here’s the full path from two files to a finished video.
What you’ll need
- A PDF of the score — engraved or cleanly scanned works best.
- A recording of the piece — MP3, WAV, or M4A.
That pair is your project. Re-export it as many times as you like for a single credit.
The four steps
1. Import
Open the studio and drop in your PDF and your audio. ScoreTracker reads the score and gets it ready to slice — all locally.
2. Crop
Every page is scanned and split into systems — the individual lines of music — with titles and margins discarded automatically. Skim the detected lines and adjust any that need a hand:
Cleanly scanned, straight pages usually need no edits. Skewed or low-contrast scans may want a quick include/exclude pass before you continue.
3. Sync
Play the recording and tap once at the start of each line. If the piece moves fast, slow the playback down — the timing you tap stays exact at full speed.
4. Export
A calm camera glides line to line with a progress mark under the active system. Export free in 720p, or spend a credit for a watermark-free master in 1080p or 4K.
Tips for a clean result
- Trim silence from the very start of your recording so the first line lands on the downbeat.
- If a system looks mis-detected, fix it in the crop step rather than re-importing — it’s faster.
- Re-syncing is free forever once a project is unlocked, so don’t be afraid to tweak.
