Questions about the freestyle builder

No. Kurtempo supplies no music and sells none. You load tracks you own or have the right to use, and they stay on your device.

Some shows and streamed events require licensed music. Check your show's rules. Rules differ between federations, shows and online classes, so read your show's schedule. Kurtempo cannot tell you whether a track is licensed for your class.

Never. The video plays from the file on your device and the music is decoded and stretched in your browser. There is no server that could receive them. Your segments, taps and settings are saved in this browser; the files themselves are not saved at all.

Video: MP4, MOV and WebM up to 2 GB, as your browser plays them. MP4 in H.264 plays in most browsers; an iPhone MOV in HEVC plays in Safari and sometimes elsewhere. Music: MP3, M4A, WAV and FLAC where your browser decodes them.

Videos up to 2 GB and tracks up to 500 MB. The video is never decoded into memory, so a big file keeps the page responsive. A track longer than 10 minutes gets a note first, because the browser decodes it whole for a moment; a WAV is read a part at a time.

On a phone you can load the ride, tap each gait's tempo, tap your tracks' beats and play. The full editor, with each segment's music, the floor plan and the exports, is laid out for a tablet or a laptop.

As accurate as your taps. The median gap between taps is used, so one rushed or late tap does not move it, and odd taps are named and left out of the stability figure. With a dozen steady taps the reading usually settles within a beat or two a minute; if it is marked unsteady, tap again.

No. The music is time stretched, so it plays faster or slower at the same pitch. Up to 8 percent sounds natural; past that you get a warning, and at 15 percent or more the stretch is refused unless you give a reason.

USDF Training to Fourth Level, FEI Intermediate I, Intermediate II (and Intermediate A/B until the end of 2026) and Grand Prix, and British Dressage Novice to Advanced Medium freestyles. Each has its time limit, compulsory movements, source and the date it was checked.

Use them to plan, then confirm against your federation's current rulebook and test sheet. They are reference only: they were checked on the date shown and rules change.

One WAV file of the whole freestyle, 48 kHz, 16 bit, stereo; a cue sheet PDF with every segment's time, movement, track, tempo, stretch and gain; and a floor plan PDF with your drawn lines on a 20 by 60 or 20 by 40 arena.

No MP3 encoder with a licence this site can ship was found, so the music exports as WAV only. If a show asks for MP3, a sound program on your computer can convert the WAV.

Kurtempo is not affiliated with the FEI, USDF, USEF, British Dressage or any federation, and does not supply music. Federation names are used only to describe their published rules.

Your segments, taps and settings are kept in this browser only, so clearing site data removes them. Save a backup file to keep a copy; it holds everything except the video and music files, which you load again.

Yes. Share this makes a link that holds the segments, the gait tempos, the settings and the names and sizes of the video and tracks, never the files themselves. Your trainer needs the same video and the same tracks on their device to watch and hear it. The link opens as Shared with you, and nothing is saved there until they keep a copy. Untick Include names to leave out the freestyle's name, the file names, typed movement names and override reasons.

Yes. On an iPhone or iPad, open the site in Safari, tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen. On Android and on a computer, choose Install Kurtempo in the menu or at the foot of any page when your browser offers it. After one visit online, the builder, the magic step and the printables open without a connection; fitting the music and the PDFs work offline once each has been used once.
