Edit to Music / Premiere Pro

Hello,

For those who are music producers or produce music videos.

 

Here's a process for editing to a music track, if you've been wondering.

 

In your music production software, record a few bars of the metronome to an audio track.

Tab to transient to edit and make a clip of one metronome beat for the BPM.

Import the audio clip to Premiere Pro, copy it eight times, and set a marker on the timeline.

Then, copy the selection along with the marker to the whole sequence and you have a music video!

Thanks for sharing! I think I don't fully understand your workflow - what you have in the end is no a music video, but only a timeline, where you can easily find the location of beats and bars (based on the markers and clip start points), right? If this is your goal, with my (paid) extension BeatEdit for Pr, you can create such markers very easily directly in Pr. The markers are also color coded, such that you can see every 8th beat very easily (it loops through 8 marker colors).

Yes, that's correct. Rhythm is such an important part of commercial and artistic editing. Thanks for sharing!
