If the video has a beat bar it was intended to be followed by the viewer. There are plenty of videos that do not have beat bars, so I feel like it defeats the purpose, you may as well script a video that doesn’t have a beat bar. However, some videos have the stroke slow, fast, edge option. With those I feel a consistent stroke for slow and fast is acceptable, but for edging I think it should follow the action in the video unless nothing is happening, in which case, scriptwriter’s choice.
