Free plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro that marks every drum hit (Mac, Apple Silicon)

I built a small free plugin for Premiere Pro that listens to the song on your timeline and drops a marker on each kick, snare, hi-hat and cymbal, on the frame where the hit actually is. A grid guesses where the beat should be; this hears where it is. Markers are named and colored by drum, so you can untick the hi-hats or nudge everything half a frame at a time without running it twice. Your song never leaves your Mac.

It needs macOS on Apple Silicon and Premiere Pro 25.6 or newer. It's free while it's new: https://www.beatmaxing.com/ (also on Adobe Exchange: https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/cc/74b9175b/beatmaxing).

If you try it on a track with a lot going on, I'd genuinely like to hear where it put a marker wrong: which song, which moment. That's how it gets better.
