Opening your saved freestyle.

Start with your ride

  1. Load your ride video

    A video of your own test, filmed from C if you can. MP4, MOV or WebM up to 2 GB. It plays here and never leaves this device.

  2. Add music

    Tracks you own: MP3, M4A, WAV or FLAC, as your browser reads them. Kurtempo supplies no music.

New to this? The magic step fits one song to your trot in a minute, with nothing to set up.

How a freestyle comes together

  1. Tap the tempo. Play your ride and tap each footfall the convention asks for: every front foot in walk and trot, the leading leg once a stride in canter. The median of your taps is the tempo.
  2. Mark the segments. Where each gait starts and ends on the video, named from your level's movement list.
  3. Fit the music. Each section is stretched to its gait's tempo, 8 percent or less ideally, never 15 percent or more without your say so, crossfaded and checked against the level's time limit.

Every rule is on how the tempo and the stretch work. The time limits and compulsory movements, with their sources, are on the levels page. Want to hear it first? Try the magic step with one song and your trot. Planning on paper too? Blank arena diagrams, a cue sheet and a gait tempo log are free to print.
