this extension needs so much more attention, this is a gift from god... I swear,
never let this Die.
Thank you for your kind words, Joseph :-)
You have no Idea how this will help me in my workflow. thank u so Much. please never destroy it.
Thanks for the explanation on this extension!!! I just switched from Filmora to Premiere Pro and I was wondering for some type of beat detector like what Filmora has, but this extension is WAY BETTER!!!!!!!
Thank you for your feedback and have fun with BeatEdit :-)
A very helpful program but from my own experience I think that the new scene should be set one frame earlier than the beat starts.
Our eyesight processes information for a longer time compared to hearing, so even when setting new scenes perfectly to the beat, we are able to notice that the image is minimal delayed in relation to the music.
There is a tutorial on UA-cam (I don't remember the title but it is a man with a beard) that tells exactly about the process.
That's very interesting Charles! I heard different opinions on this and guess to some extend it is a personal preference/taste what feels best. Soon there will also be an update (free for existing V2 customers) that will add a quantization option with offset control. This means you will be able to move all beat markers a few milliseconds backwards or forwards easily. You can do this with the "move markers" features already in the current version, but with the new feature it will be even easier.
@@mamoworldcom Thank you for your reply. The second version sounds interesting. I would love to see tutorials related to it.
Thanks for the explanation on this extension!!
you are welcome :-)
It is very useful
Thanks for making such types of video
You are welcome 🙂
Thank you so much
i cant select music " Please select exacly one audio file in the active sequenece"
Will the beat markers still be there if you import the audio to After Effects like in the previous version?
Yes, this is a general feature of markers in Premiere Pro, no matter if you create them with BeatEdit or not. The marker data is stored in the meta data of the audio file and detected by Ae when you import the file.
What are the upgrade options for those that own the prev version?
If you own BeatEdit 1 for Premiere Pro, you get the upgrade to V2 for $20. If you are logged in with your aescripts customer account, the upgrade pricing should be shown directly on the product page: aescripts.com/beatedit-for-premiere-pro/
most all the youtube videos show how to use the plugin with one audio track. Can this be used to add markers to multiple audio tracks with different beats on the same time line? I do skate videos and try to sync footwork to different beats.
You can first load one song into BeatEdit and then generate (clip or sequence) markers for it and then load a second song into BeatEdit and generate markers for it too (also in the same sequence). See this tutorial, for example: ua-cam.com/video/DKwFKDQDTRQ/v-deo.html
Looks like a great product. Is it compatible on mac and pc?
yes, it is compatible with both Mac and Win (and the same license works on both - so if you use a Mac now and later want to switch to Windows, for example, you can continue to use the same license).
Good morning, even if I select the song I want, when I upload it, this error appears: "please select exactly one audio file in the active sequence.
Hi Breno,
in the screenshot you have send with your support ticket I see that you use an mp4 (video) file.
BeatEdit does not support loading music from video files, it can only read audio files like wav and mp3. I recommend to export your mp4 with Premiere Pro into a wav file. Then put the wav file in the sequence and import it in BeatEdit.
Cheers,
Mathias
Can you work with multiple tracks in one timeline? I have used BeatEdit 2 on one of the music tracks quite happily and have added the markers that I need, but BeatEdit2 doesn't load the second track for analysis despite it being unlocked, highlighted and also on a different Audio track later on the timeline in Premiere Pro (both are downloaded from Epidemic Sound). It simply re-analyses the first music clip again.
it should work by simply making sure the second clip is selected in the active sequence (not in the project window) and clicking the "load" button of BeatEdit.
Is there no try before you buy the version?
You can download a trial version using the green "try" button (next to the "add to cart" button) at the top right of the product page here: aescripts.com/beatedit-for-premiere-pro/
Can you offer a trial version that lets me actually use the plugin? It is useless at the first 15 seconds. Or do you have any promotional offers at the moment for this plugin if I wanted to buy it?
Hi, the trial detects all beats and inside the user interface of BeatEdit you can hear and see all detected beats. So also with the trial you are able to check of the beat detection works for the entire song and is accurate. The trial version only exports the beat markers for the first 20s. We try to make trial versions as useful as possible, but need these limitations in order to run a profitable business and continue developing our tools. We have no sale at the moment - if you want to wait, the next one will most likely be around Black Friday (End of November).
mamoworld.com I see, I think if I could actually have a trail of the full version so I could see how much more efficient my work flow for be, even it it was for 24 or 48 hours, then I would actually consider buying the product thus increasing your profitability. Just giving feedback from a consumer standpoint. 15 seconds doesn’t even let me get markers anywhere where it’s most important in the music after the first drop. Thanks for the reply though
@@YngHstlr totally agree.
@@SloggerVlogger yeah it's sad that they can't see how useless 15 seconds is for an extension like this
For some unknown reason my plugin won't play the music, my Premiere plays music fine but not the Beat Edit window.. Any ideas why...? Thanks in advance for any help. And thank you for your very helpful video. :)
Extensions in Premiere Pro use the default audio device of your machine, which is not necessarily the one you configured for audio output in Premiere Pro. Maybe this is the issue?
If you open a UA-cam video, for example, in a web browser, does it play with sound on your machine?
when i am trying to load music to beat editz then it give me this notification please select exactly one audio file in the active sequence
Me too. Have you heard back from them?
How do you zoom in on the beat display in the Beat Edit plugin? I see there is a bar under the waveform display that has what looks like a zoom selector, but I am unable to zoom in using that, I can only drag in left and right.
Thanks a lot for your feedback! There is currently no way to zoom that view. It is already on my feature request list, so maybe we will add that in future updates.
@@mamoworldcom Thanks for the reply, hope to see the zoom feature in the future then.
Will this be available for da vinci resolve any time soon?
We have plans for Resolve, but not really soon.
how can i detect the beats, it just puted blue markers at same distance to each other, it didnt decect any beat
Doesnt work for me :( for what I see it only works for very short audio, in my case I have full DJ sets, so for a long audio it wont work...my audio is selected, i cluc Load Music, it shows the name on the extension, and does nothing, on short audio.. it works...
Hi Amine, BeatEdit is designed to detect beats in individual songs. It can process audio files of a few minutes length. But for the beat detection, it needs to load the full, uncompressed audio data into your machines memory and this is unfeasible for say a full hour of music. I have support for longer tracks on my feature request list and it might be added in future versions.
what if i want the clip to end on beat but dont care where it starts? 7:33
Automate to Sequence has no feature for that. If you chose your markers such that the duration between two markers is always the same, then you can set the range from in to out to exactly that duration. Otherwise, the best option is probably to modify the clips using the slip tool after putting the in the timeline.
"please select exactly one audio file in the active sequence" will pop up if your music is Remixed too. All you have to do is delete it and replace it with the unaltered clip in your project panel, then load in BeatEdit.
Are markers not showing up after pressing the clip marker? My BeatEdit has not produced markers, and I've been at this for at least 45mins.
If you remix a clip, Premiere Pro replaces the audio clip in the timeline by a different kind of clip, such that BeatEdit cannot “see” the audio file anymore. That's why BeatEdit cannot load remixed clips. Since clip markers are also part of the clip, they will also disappear during the remix process.
Solution:
After you remixed a song, you can right-click on the remixed clip in the timeline and choose “Render and Replace…”. Then Premiere Pro will turn the remixed song into a normal audio file again and you can load this file into BeatEdit as usual.
Is there a free trial version?
Yes, you can use the green TRY button on the right side of the product page:

Note that today we still have the sale, which officially ended on Friday already. If you still want to get the discount, you should buy today, since tomorrow the shop will switch to the regular price again.
So I want to cut to the drum sounds in my audio clip. I could look at the waveform and manually place markers but it'd be slow and not perfect. I thought this plugin would detect the high spikes in the waveform but it seems to just place markers evenly (I have zero knowledge of music but I understand why it places those markers like that, it just doesn't help though). Is it not intended to do what I want?
Hi Billy,
you are right that by default, BeatEdit detects beats and beats are not the same as peaks in the waveform. What you most likely want to use are the "extra markers": ua-cam.com/video/1beYNGU8IJc/v-deo.html
(the tutorials is for BeatEdit for After Effects, but extra markers work exactly the same way in the Pr version of BeatEdit, too)
@@mamoworldcom Hey that worked! Just one more question, I only want BeatEdit to add those extra markers and not the beat markers. Can it do that?
@@billythecat Yes, with the beat selection feature, you can simply deselect all beats: mamoworld.com/tutorials/beat-selection-beatedit-after-effects
@@mamoworldcom worked! Thank you soo much!!!
My music is not loading in beat ? I have also selected audio then also I have issues
Hi, if you get the error message "please select exactly one audio file in the active sequence" when trying to load music into BeatEdit, it is usually one of two things:
(A) make sure to really select the audio file in the active sequence (and not in the project panel or a bin of the project)
(B) Make sure to select an audio file (like wav or mp3), not a video file.
Unfortunately BeatEdit only supports audio files but not loading audio data directly from video files. If your music is part of a video file, what you can do is
1. export a wav file from your video file (Export it with Premiere Pro or Media Encoder and choose “Waveform” as format)
2. import the wav file in your Premiere Pro project
3. load the wav file in BeatEdit
Is there any form of discount? I don't work with videos. I do it just for fun.
For students and teachers we have an education discount:aescripts.com/knowledgebase/index/view/faq/educational-discounts/ Normally, we don't do any other sales or discounts except for a Black Friday / Cyber Monday sale end of November.
mamoworld.com unfortunately I am Brazilian and the site does not accept universities here. :( Can you help me with another way?
@@brenomab did you open a support ticket at aescripts? That's the best way to get help with the education discount.
BeatEdit can't create markers on your clip? Make sure you don't already have other markers on the clip. You might. You have to clear all existing markers before you can create new ones with BeatEdit. Also, make sure you are not zoomed all the way in, you may be 'between markers'. Thanks for the great plugin. I used to do it by ear, and wondered why I was having so much trouble. I guess my Ear to key reaction not so good. Very worthwhile especially if you are using Premiere for mixing beats and music (which it's great for!)
Oh, you are right! I just tested an in Premiere Pro 2020 clip markers will only be created if no other markers exist, yet. That was not the case in earlier versions. I will see what we can do about it.
I just published BeatEdit 2.0.004 which fixes the issue with creating markers on clips that already contain markers. BeatEdit actually asks in this case if existing markers should be deleted before creating the new ones. But due to some bug in the Premiere Pro scripting engine, this confirmation message does not show up on CC 2020. With BeatEdit 2.0.004 it works again as designed. Thanks for reporting this issue :-)
@@mamoworldcom Thank you. I am having a wonderful time using Premiere, now, to remix electronic dance music (EDM) tracks, with no need for video. Mixing is the easiest thing in the world with BeatEdit. Clearly, now, with this plugin, Premiere demolishes music sequencing competitors. It is far cheaper to use BeatEdit with Premiere than pay full price for the major sequencers from AVID etc. BeatEdit was the final missing piece. I've never enjoyed creating more on my musical desktop. My only problem with BeatEdit is that as I zoom in, I see my terrible off-tempo clip placement. I could swear at one time that my ears had the accuracy of an eagle's eye, but using BeatEdit becomes a kind of game to see how well I can hear details, which, it turns out, is not so well. And now, because I am apparently not have the talent I thought I had, as BeatEdit so accurately lets me know, I may develop devastating self-confidence problems. Perhaps you should consider a feature that auto-generates occasional, motivational message banners to heartbroken audio engineers - such as, "Don't worry, You're not all that bad at hearing tempo."
@@pete565 :-D One message that might make you feel better: When it comes to video editing, I heard some people saying that they like it better to cut a tiny little bit before the actual beat (say 1 frame before it). This creates a bit of tension and is to some extend a matter of taste. So maybe you don't have a lack of talent, but just a different taste than BeatEdit.
@@mamoworldcom I was demoing using BeatEdit and Adobe Premiere to another producer, and I explained it like this: Surely, you can zoom all the way in and see that on a micro level, that the beats are off, especially when using samples that were originally recorded in Analog, or maybe voice or a Cappella tracks, but if you don't mind that your beats are manually aligned, rather than electronically, you might end up with music that sounds more organic, more rock and roll and less EDM. It can be warmer and richer. The main point is not to go crazy trying to be perfect, but to know when you are making slight imperfections to your advantage. This may be what you are describing. Great tool. It cut my workflow in half, and I value my time. BeatEdit was one of the few software I own that matches its value.
On the latest version of audition the plug-in isn’t working and Adobe support cannot help with third party plugins sadly - Mathias has been a great help but cannot get it to load tracks and create markers
This is not a general problem with the latest Audition - it seems to be an issue specific to your system. On all my testing machines, it works well with the latest Audition and also I don't have any other person reporting this issue so far. Still, I am confident that we can figure out what goes wrong on your system.
@@mamoworldcom Looking forward to it being resolved, as i need to use the plugin
@@tringradio6377 I've just sent you a new version with some debug output a few minutes ago. Please install and execute it - It will help us to figure out what exactly is going wrong.
Its weird, the extension appears in my Adobe Premiere but not in my adobe audition.
Both are 2020 versions.

It's not working in Premiere pro 2022
BeatEdit V2 is fully compatible with Premiere Pro 2022. If it does not start on your machine, it is probably an issue with Adobes CEP extension system which occurs on a few systems. This article describes the issue and a solution: aescripts.com/knowledgebase/index/view/faq/zxp-cep-extension-won-t-open/
#beateditor
You shouldn't design a small load music button which is not looks like a button!
thank you for the feedback, Keanu!
It does not detect any beats, it just puts beats at the same distance form each other, i feel like this is a scam
If you enable the option "quantization", BeatEdit makes sure that all beats have the same distance. Note that this is also the best option for all songs, which have a constant tempo (which is the case for almost all songs). Songs, where the tempo - and hence the distance between the beats - changes over time are very rare. But if you have live music, or music with speed ramps, you might want to disable quantization. But in general, beats are like a metronome - evenly spaced, and not the same as peaks in the waveform.
If you want to create markers for more complex rhythmical pattern, you most likely want to use the "add extra markers" option. See this tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/1beYNGU8IJc/v-deo.html
I guess this is most time wasting plugin.... No time saving for precisous and clean work. It will create mess.
We are always open and happy about critical feedback that helps to make our products even better. But this comment is so unconstructive that it is hard to guess what issue you might have with BeatEdit.
goofy ah song
Don't joke, little brother, I won't buy it for that much money. $100??? Really =)) I'm willing to pay $10 for it...It's not worth more than that.
This plugin is for professional Premiere Pro users. It is all about saving time and if you charge a reasonable amount of money for an hour of work, the time it saves will pay off quickly. Of course, if you are just doing this as a hobby, for example, time is not such a big deal and then BeatEdit might not be for you. Also note that if you consider using DaVinci Resolve instead of Premiere Pro, you can get a version of BeatEdit (with a different feature set) for $50: aescripts.com/beatedit-for-davinci-resolve/
