Cubix
Sports montage maker

Sports montage maker. Let the whole play land.

Bring the plays you have already chosen and a music track you can use. Beat Edits times the cuts to the track on an editable timeline, so you can check that every play shows its approach, action and result before you export.

You bring: plays you have already selected, and a music track. You get: a montage on an editable timeline. It does not search a full match for highlights.

One play, start to finish

One fictional basketball play, from the approach to the moment after. A play reads when the viewer sees how it started and how it ended; the musical accent belongs to the result, not instead of it.

The play: approach, action, result

  1. Illustration of a player in a blue number 7 jersey dribbling up the court towards a defender in red1

    Number 7 brings the ball up

    Shows who has the ball and where the play is going.

    The move

    The pass over the defender

    The decision that creates the chance. Leave enough room around the ball to follow it.

    The shot

    Number 12 rises and releases

    The peak of the play. Hold it until the ball is clearly on its way.

    Result

    Through the net

    Without the result, the play is a question. This is where the musical accent can land.

    Reaction

    Faces and numbers need time to register. This is not the place for the quickest cuts.

    Closing moment

    The team together

    A wide shot after the play gives the montage a deliberate ending.

The same plan as one 24-beat phrase

Beat counts are a planning example. They show relative length, not the exact order or duration Beat Edits will produce.

A complete play, not just the peak

Cutting straight to the most dramatic frame can feel energetic, but the viewer never sees how the play was built or whether it worked.

Leaves the viewer guessing

Isolated peak

  1. Illustration of the jump shot on its own

    The shot

A jump shot with no approach and no result. Was it a good look? Did it go in? The cut on the beat answers neither.

Approach, action, result

  2. Illustration of the jump shot

  3. Illustration of the ball dropping through the net

    The result

The pass that created it, the shot and the ball through the net. The accent lands on the result, and the viewer knows exactly what they saw.

How to make a sports montage and review it

  1. 1

    Select the plays

    Choose the plays you want and trim each one so it starts before the approach and ends after the result. Add them in the order you plan them to play.

  2. 2

    Choose the track

    Upload music you are allowed to publish, or choose one from the built-in library. Listen for a lift where the biggest play can land.

  3. 3

    Create the montage

    Run Beat Edits. Cut on the hits is on by default; turn it off for a steady BPM grid. Style, Energy and Length change the result.

  4. 4

    Review every play

    Play it with sound. Check approach, action and result, faces and numbers, space around the ball, and what happened to commentary or crowd sound, then adjust on the timeline.

Your plan is the plays you chose and the order you add them in. The montage is what Beat Edits returns. Check that each play still shows its approach, action and result.

Every control in detail: Beat Edits · the beat editing guide

Check every play reads

Play the montage with sound and look for these before you export.

  • Each play keeps its approach, the action and the result.
  • There is a short pause between separate plays, so they do not run together.
  • Faces and jersey numbers are visible long enough to recognise.
  • The crop leaves room around the athlete and the ball, especially in a vertical frame.
  • A musical accent never cuts away before the outcome.
  • You know what happened to commentary and crowd sound on each clip.

This workflow edits the plays you chose. It does not analyse a game, track a player or judge which plays are best.

Commentary and crowd sound

A music-led montage is built around the track, so the sound recorded on each clip may be changed, lowered or replaced. Do not rely on it to keep commentary or a call intact.

  • If a commentator’s call matters, keep the whole phrase and check its audio before you publish.
  • Set the music and any crowd sound at the levels you want on the timeline.

Sports montage FAQs

Can I start with a whole match recording?

Choose the plays first. This workflow builds a music-led montage from clips you have already selected; it does not search a full match for highlights. Trim the plays out of the recording, or bring clips you already have, then add those.

Do I pick the plays, or does Cubix?

You do. Decide which plays belong in the montage and in what order. Beat Edits then times the cuts to the music, and you review the result.

Can I keep each play complete?

Yes, if you check for it. Make sure every play shows its approach, the action and the result, and extend a clip on the timeline where a cut lands before the ball or the athlete finishes the move.

Can I adjust the crops and cuts afterwards?

Yes. The montage sits on an editable timeline: adjust individual cuts and framing there, switch between Cut on the hits and a steady BPM grid, or change Style, Energy and Length. Revert returns to the state before the Beat Edits pass.

Can it track a player, give stats or help with recruiting?

No. This workflow edits clips you selected into a montage. It does not track players, produce game statistics, pick the best plays or make recruiting decisions, and a montage is not evidence that a full game was analysed.

What do I need to export my montage?

You can explore the Cubix editor before choosing a plan. Current plans, trial availability, export options and billing are listed on the pricing page.
