BeatEdit for Premiere Pro
BeatEdit detects the beats in your music and generates beat markers in the Premiere Pro timeline. Create automatic edits in sync with the music or let BeatEdit assist your manual editing process.

Are you planning on updating AE Beat Assistant to the new technology?
yes, we definitely plan a version for AE. However, it won't be a simple port of the Premiere tool. In Premiere all you need is editing in sync with the beat, i.e. generating markers. In AE you most likely want to animate stuff in sync with the beat. Markers are helpful for this, but a BeatEdit for AE should be able to do more to support your animation. Therefore, it will take some time until this project is finished. You can expect a BeatEdit for AE some time next year.
For now, note that you can easily import the markers from Premiere to AE:
When you generate clip markers, they also show up in the audio file when you import it to an AE project. Also, when you drag/drop a sequence from Premiere Pro to AE, the sequence markers are also imported to AE.
I have Premiere 9.0.2,
BeatEditPremiereCC2014toCC2015_0 wont install because "com.mamoworld.BeatEdit.80 dont have a valid signature"
and BeatEditPremiereCC2015_1_and_newer wont install because i must have at least Premiere 9.1 ... can you help me ? (with the trial version)
usually, the best way to solve this is to open a support ticket here:
https://aescripts.com/contact/?direct=1
describing how you install it exactly and what OS you are using. Best with a screenshot of the error message.
Cheers,

I installed successfully as per your instructions and video. I'm running Premiere 2015.0 so installed that version of the plugin.
When I loaded the Beat Edit plugin and then selected 'Load Music', any WAV file I load results in an error "beat detection error: IBT failed". I've tried a number of different WAV and MP3 files.
I can then try one more time with the same error but then it really crashes in a major way - Beat Edit interface completely locks up - mostly with a crash "Adobe CEP HTML engine stopped working"
Running Windows 10 64bit i7 5960X 8 core 64GB RAM
I hope you can fix this or have some ideas as I could see this really being useful and a time-saver
Paul.
I am really sorry to hear you have such an issue. I will send you a private message to investigate further what causes this issue.
Cheers,
Mathias
I have exactly the same problem as DEFER Stephane with installing BeatEdit
Do you have a solution already?
I solved the problem by switching of Norton during installation of ZXP_Installer_setup.exe
Ofcourse it is a bit strange that I had to switch off Norton, since the ZXP installer needs to be connected to the internet. Maybe Matthias can look into this for future clients. But for me the installation problem is solved now.
Please let me know the result of your investigation of Pauls problem.
Nop, Norton has nothing to do with it ... It was a conflict with InDesign, ZXP_installer was just updated between your tries
So, that problm is solved for me ... Now we're investigating with the developper, why it cant install BeatEdit on my computer. (And maybe after that, i will hopefully get the IBT failed error
thank you for the hint with Norton. The ZXP_Installer_setup.exe downloads the most recent version from the aescripts server, hence it needs internet access.
For every Windows user with the message:
"beat detection error: IBT failed"
There are most likely some dlls missing on your system. Please install the x86 (32bit, not x64!!) version of the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015
from here
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 ;
I will try this tonight and let you know if it worked.
I must say that the beat detection seems to work very well - much better than the AE plugin. I'm looking forward to using it. At the moment for pretty much any production that uses music, I manually time and add markers on the major beats. This helps sync GV video to the beat which pretty much always is good. I think BeatEdit will save that time - 3+ minutes per track plus adjustment time, so should pay for itself pretty quickly
One tip I found out that's probably in the docs (that I didn't read!) - if you use the 1 marker per x beats feature, you can select the starting beat marker from the waveform display. The selected marker isn't very obvious though - so maybe as a feature request, it would be good to show in yellow maybe? That way, the major beats can be marked correctly.
One other feature request while I'm on it - the ability to zoom into the waveform display would be good to check accurate placement - and even an offset feature could be useful?
Good work Mathias
Good to hear that you're working on an AE version
the x86 (32bit, not x64!!) version of the Visual C++ Redistributable for
Visual Studio 2015
from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
If you encounter any other issues - please don't hesitate to open a support ticket here: https://aescripts.com/contact/
The more details (screenshots) etc. you can provide, the quicker we will be able to help you.
The extra random beats are interesting. very cool how it detects and places these.
no, unfortunately the complex user interface of BeatEdit requires HTML5 panels which are only available in CC2014 and newer.
For CS6, the best thing you can do is use Beat Assistant for After Effects and import the markers to AE as shown in this tutorial:
http://www.sternfx.com/tutorials/119
However, note that Beat Assistant for After Effects has a beat detection engine that is way less robust/accurate than the one of BeatEdit for Premiere Pro. Hence, Beat Assistant AE will only give good results, if the beat is clearly audible, whereas BeatEdit usually also deals with more challenging music.

And again: make sure to install the x86 (32bit) variant and not the x64 variant, although you have a 64bit system).
which timezone applies to the early bird offer?
Thanks
found in the active sequence" and then a file path back to the audio
file location, when trying to create Sequence markers. The sequence is
active and the audio is in there selected. It will create clip markers
on the file but not the sequence markers.
I'm using V1.0.1 on a Win 7 PC.
I
did have to download and install the x86 Visual C++ Patch the install
file recommended and then was able to install BeatEdit after the
installer was first not able to see my CC2015 PPro version.
Thanks for this cool product.
I just replied to your support ticket in more detail. In short: make sure to use the correct zxp for your Premiere Pro version and the correct installer (the one that comes with the product).
@Philip:
yes, this is an open issue currently happening on some Windows machines. I am still working on a solution which is a bit delayed since I am at Adobe Video World Conference currently. Fixing this will be my no.1 priority when I am back home next week.
found in the active sequence" I'm using V1.0.1 on a Win 7 64 bit PC. premiere pro 14 also I installed https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 64 bit but and also I am getting an error - Run Script error -- P.getmarkers is not a function
I am sorry to hear you have this issue.
Is it correct that you can create clip markers but cannot create sequence markers?
If this is the case, it is a known issue on some Windows machines and I am working on a fix. I am at Adobe Video World Conference this week and therefore, my support is a bit slower than usual. Fixing this bug is my top priority for next week and it will definitely be fixed with the next update.
Cheers,
Mathias
Yes I can not create both clip markers and sequence markers
and I get an error Run Script error -- P.getmarkers is not a function
could you please open a support ticket here and describe the issue as detailed as possible:
https://aescripts.com/contact
Could you please check whether you have permission to write on the file and whether it makes a difference if it is stored on another drive?
Cheers,
Mathias
thank you for this feature request.
Do you mean to delete markers in the Premiere Pro timeline or to deselect the beats inside the beatedit preview?
For the latter, I already have a feature request to add some keyboard shortcuts. Those shortcuts I plan to add will also include support for the delete key to simply deselect all beats in the highlighted region. Is this what you need?
To delete the actual markers in the timeline, we already have the "delete all" button. Or do you want to delete individual markers?
I've read the BeatEdit-FAQ and found the passage "BeatEdit shows up in the Premiere Pro menu, but when started the BeatEdit window is empty".
I also encountered this issue. The extension window was either dark-grey (similiar to the Premiere UI-color) or white. It turned out that deactivating the DeepScreen of my anti-virus program Avast Pro 2015 fixed this issue - obviously your detecting engine is being blocked by DeepScreen, the processes located in the temp-folder didn't terminate with DeepScreen turned on. Maybe this workaround could help you, finding the core-problem.
And btw: A delete-shortcut for deleting all beats in the highlighted region would be nice. :-)
Keep up the good work
~Florian
I will add a note about it on the FAQ and point the customers to it who have the issue.
Then you want exactly, what I have on my feature request anyway (delete button should remove all markers in highlighted region).
detection error" on windows 7 64bit home OS. I just load song and pauses
at step 3 then error, previous versions it was same but said something
like "beat detection error"induction 5s". It worked like the first few
times then error after, I have pretty full hardrive 20 gig free on this
pc for example.
Best attach a screenshot of the error message.

If you say it worked before, did you maybe enable some kind of antivirus software when it stopped working? In the support ticket, I can send you some files to do some more tests to figure out what is going on.
Cheers,
Mathias
It solved the beat detection issue on Windows for all support tickets I had so far.
Thanks
Lenny
for me it works on 9.1 x157.
In general, I recommend to test with the trial version before you purchase. If it does not work for you, please don't hesitate to open a support ticket.
Cheers,
Mathias
