say what it is about
a topic, or your own script pasted in however you have it. it comes back shaped into beats — in your words, not a rewrite.

the arithmetic
a forty-second short is about a hundred and twenty words. writing them is the quick part.
what takes the afternoon is everything after. record a read. transcribe it. pin every word to a frame. cut to a grid. set the type so nothing clips. duck the bed. chase the peaks. export. watch it back. do it again.
BreezeMatic does that work, and it shows you its working.
the system
eight stages, and one file passed between them. every stage reads what the last one wrote.
how it goes
three moves, and only the middle one is yours.
read the beat sheet
every cut, every emphasis, every timing, in one file you can edit by hand. this is the part worth your attention.
produce
the picture renders, the audio is mastered against a number rather than a feeling, and an mp4 lands on your disk.
a different surface
the same short, made the usual way and made here.
by hand
- 01write. draft it, cut it, and guess at the length.
- 02record. read it, retake it, clean the room tone.
- 03transcribe. mark where each word actually lands.
- 04animate. key every line, then check nothing clips the frame.
- 05mix. level the read, duck the bed, chase the peaks, export again.
with BreezeMatic
one topic, one file, one command — and every number in it is measured rather than eyeballed.
the timings come from the audio itself. the cuts land on the grid. every line is measured against the frame before it is drawn. the master is checked, not judged. and the same seed gives you the same film, twice.
