Automatic beat detection

Since the remix tool can detect the beat of the music, an option to have markers automatically placed at 1/4 and 1/8th notes of the beat would be really helpful.

Having an option to change the timeline to beats and bars would also be very useful for editing music videos and music-heavy content.

Hi Adobe,
What are the chances of adding beats & bars was an option on the timeline rule? That way you can set a BPM and snap clips to a time signature measures (Bar/beat/note resolution), much like Avid Pro Tools allows you to snap audio clips to frames.

I understand you can use markers, but it would be so much easier to be able to snap to a predefiend beat grid, rather than having to create a beat grid using markers.

It would be amazing if you added this feature.

Kind regards,
Bernard

Take my upvote for adding this. The number of plugins that do this indicates there's a healthy demand for this feature. The Audition used to have this. Bring it back.

From my understanding, it's a common feature in prosumer editing apps. Not the "broadcast" style ones though.

But something might come along, they never tell us ahead of time.

I'm someone who works for/with/teaches pro colorists, who are based in mostly Resolve but some Baselight. And besides the massive fx tools of Resolve, nearly all of them have at least one major suite of plugins, typically Boris, but many also have the full RedGiant/Maxon suites. Several hundred a year extra past the software.

And yes, Baselight has a yearly fee also.

And they tend to see editors complaining about needing to spend under a hundred bucks on a plugin and simply roll their eyes.

Yup ... we're all different ...

Wow such a basic feature and adobe doesn't have it? Now im seriously considering going back to capcut

I'm reaching this thread today as my workflow has largely shifted to social media clients; automatic beat detection for these short cut-downs would be incredibly useful. There's a reason this thread has OVER 2,500 eyes on it. People need this feature. This is a basic audio fundamental that plugins are taking over when I already spend over $500 a year on Premiere and Adobe apps. This is embarrasing for this "professional" software.

AI has entered the chat... 

Oh, my.... 😐

I would say 80% of trending social media reels and videos are made where scene transitions are dependant on the audio beat. We must not be talking about the same thing as it's extremely perplexing that anyone is even debating this.

I'm with Neil. I don't think it's a fundamental issue. I have ears that tell me where the beats are.
