Automatic beat detection

Heading towards a year for this thread, despite the 'game changer' pontifications there are only 10 upvotes, about 1 per month. Most of the posters here are certain they don't want (to spend on) a 3rd party app, as they think beat detection is a universally desired feature. I think it's a specialty, because I for one, would just listen to the built in beat detector in my head. Otherwise, there are good ones around, like this: https://aescripts.com/beatedit-for-premiere-pro/ for a reasonable price for this specialty application.

Most of the professional long-time users would strongly disagree with your thoughts. Which is fine. we are all different.

But as an example, another commonly stated complaint is that with each major version, Adobe is rushing to "dumb down" Premiere Pro for YouTubers. With the new "AI" ... really machine learning ... tools and all.

Rather an opposite, and as firmly held view, as yours.

Of the same program. 

Professional apps should have the capabilities and features of all prosumer apps, and then the customizable and technical power of their professional framework. The fact that a consumer app like CapCut can manage to implement, bulldoze, update and grow with feedback is not a drawback on its software but rather should be a stark and truthfully brutal wake up call to Adobe software engineers. This is not a prosumer application feature, this is a paying customer base demanding basic and fundamental functions from an extremely arrogant software company.

I'm not at all surprised that you are suprised. Been there myself, of course, if a few years back now.

Most everyone coming from the prosumer apps to the full-on professional video post apps gets a huge shock. Because they are used to apps that are designed to do things for the user, with the user getting some partial contol over the effect or process.

The professional apps have all been built assuming the professional user wants absolute, total control over every aspect and detail of everything. And so details, processes, and options have tons of sub-options and choices ... and ... you must have a basic familiarity of that effect/process before you can sort out which options you probably want.

The recent addition of some things that are automated has actually been rather controversial among a lot of the users ... scared that they are dumbing down the apps to a prosumer level. Along with capabilities and controls by the user.

Even c*pc*t has this!! I'm switching from that software to premiere pro and this is such a major shock to me! i wish that adobe had automatic beat generator as well</3

Ae basically terrifies me at first glance, every time. But then, I only go into it a few times a year, right?

And after a few minutes, I get back into the working pattern of that app, which is so different, and it just ... works. And does amazing stuff for short bits.

It's pretty hard to work with Neil. I've taken at least a half-dozen LinkedIn courses on AE, and it's still daunting, but mostly cause I don't have many projects to do in it, though I wish I did.

I really like AE, it's satifying to use, it just does so much.

Thanks Warren ... a lot of us Pr users could really use some more time in That Other App ... it isn't that hard to work in, even if intimidating at first sight ...

I don't think this tread ever mentioned that we can use Replace with After Effects Composition in the Premiere Pro Timeline to then choose Animation > Keyframe Assistant > Convert to Audio Keyframes in the After Effects Timeline.  Any property of a Layer in After Effects can then be linked to the resulting keyframes for the Left Channel, the Right Channel or Both Channels.  Everything related to the beats needs to be done on the After Effects side, but it shows up in Premiere Pro via the linked Composition.  

And so almost a year later, there are only 9 upvotes (including mine) for this widely requested feature.

I guess it must not be as popular as some think.
