The ClearCue Workflow

FrameFit helps you see how musical time relates to your video timeline.

Start with a frame rate and tempo.

FrameFit reveals the relationship, shows you the available options, and creates TimeObjects you can use directly in your edit.

Measure → Understand → Generate → Edit

Step 1

Measure the Relationship

Select your frame rate and enter your music’s tempo.

FrameFit measures how musical time relates to the frames on your timeline.

No judgement yet.

Just a comparison of two very important factors.

Step 2

Understand Your Options

FrameFit shows you how the tempo behaves at your chosen frame rate, including:

• exact and approximate relationships
• frame-accurate tempos
• near matches
• alternative frame rates
• timing and drift information

Use this information to decide what works for your piece.

You don't have to choose the cleanest relationship.

The point is to see the relationship before you decide.

Step 3

Turn the Relationship Into a TimeObject

Once you've found a timing relationship you want to explore, open TimeVisualiser to make it visible on your timeline.

Choose your:

• Pattern - how the timing is structured
• Tempo - the musical timing you're working with
• Density - how much timing information you want to see

TimeVisualiser generates reusable TimeObjects that bring those relationships into Resolve.

Use them individually or together to explore different levels of structure.

The guide is a reference, not a rule.

Download your TimeObjects when you're ready to edit.

Step 4

Edit With Visible Timing

Import the TimeObject into Resolve and place it directly on your timeline.

The timing relationships you've chosen are now visible alongside the material you're editing.

Time Objects behave like ordinary media, so you can move, copy, reuse, or remove them as the edit develops.

Follow the guide. Bend it. Break it.

The structure is there when you need it. The creative decision stays with you.

Why This Matters

Editing involves relationships that are easy to feel but difficult to see.

FrameFit makes one of those relationships visible: musical time against frame time.

Once you can see the structure, you can make deliberate choices about how to use it. Follow the pattern closely, work loosely around it, combine different timing systems, or break away from it entirely.

FrameFit gives you the measurement. The edit remains yours.
