Edit to the beat like a pro

BeatEdit makes working with music in DaVinci Resolve simple, so you can focus on the creative part. With just a few clicks, you can

  • edit to the beat like a pro
  • create seamless edits to make your music track longer, shorter or shuffle it around

Why use BeatEdit?

Working with music can be a frustrating process of guessing where to make your edits. Looking at the audio below, would you know the best place to cut?

BeatEdit simplifies this process by analysing the music and showing you exactly where to cut. The markers it creates are colour-coded, so you’ll know exactly which beats to choose.

Make your music track longer, shorter or shuffle it around

Need to make part of your track longer? Shorter? Or perhaps you want to shuffle it around so the beat drops at just the right moment. With BeatEdit, you can cut exactly at the beats, resulting in seamless transitions that won’t be noticed.

How does it work?

BeatEdit uses the professional beat detection algorithm developed by researchers at the University of Porto and the University of Victoria to analyse your music and detect the main beats. It can then create various markers to show you where these beats are, making it super easy to edit to music.

Once you load your music file into DaVinci Resolve, you can choose from four different ways to work with beats:

  • timeline markers
  • clip markers
  • audio beat clicks (a.k.a. metronome)
  • subtitles

Beat Markers, audio beat clicks and subtitles

When editing your music track, we recommend using beat click audio in your workflow as it will make your edits much more precise.

DaVinci Resolve can only place markers on frames - this is fine for editing video, but if you want to edit the music itself, you’ll need sub-frame accuracy for seamless transitions. The beat click audio (i.e. the metronome) gives you exactly this - cut at the peak of the click for sub-frame accurate edits.

Resolve Free vs. Studio: BeatEdit Compatibility

Up until DaVinci Resolve 19.0.3, BeatEdit worked seamlessly with both the Free and Studio versions of Resolve. However, starting with DaVinci Resolve 19.1 (released in November 2024), Blackmagic Design introduced some limitations in the Free version, which now prevent scripts like BeatEdit from creating user interfaces. As a result, BeatEdit is currently only compatible with the Studio version of Resolve 19.1 and later.

While we initially explored options to restore support for the Free version, it has become clear that this is unlikely to happen without a change in policy from Blackmagic Design. We respect their decisions and do not intend to work around these limitations without their support.

If you'd like to use BeatEdit with the Free version of Resolve, you can download Resolve 19.0.3 or earlier here. (In the "Latest Downloads" section, scroll down until you find version 19.0.3.)

We encourage users who value third-party tools like BeatEdit to share their feedback with Blackmagic Design, as user advocacy could help influence future decisions.

Operating Systems

BeatEdit is compatible with all operating systems supported by DaVinci Resolve (Windows, Mac OS and since BeatEdit 1.1.000 also Linux).

Limitations

  • Mac OS App Store: The version of Davinci Resolve which is available on the Mac App Store does not support third party tools properly. Hence, it does not support BeatEdit. Make sure to download Resolve from Black Magic Design instead of using the App Store.
