New Extension: BeatEdit 2 for Premiere Pro

[Mathias Moehl]

We just released BeatEdit 2 for Premiere Pro, which auto-detects the beats in your music track and allows you to edit in sync with the music in no time.

New Features

Finally, you can select audio files directly in your Premiere Pro Sequence - no need to import them using a long-winded file import dialog.

The new beat info panel shows you the bpm of your song and the number of currently selected beats. When you create slideshows, this makes it very easy to select exactly as many beats as you have images.

The improved marker tools allow you to limit the creation and deletion of markers to the workarea and markers can now also be moved easily to fine-tune their placement.

BeatEdit 2 also contains several smaller improvements. V1 often ignored the very first beat of a song, for example and V2 predicts it very reliably now. Also, the performance was improved such that marker created, for example, is significantly faster now.

Tutorial

Please Upgrade to Stay Compatible with new Premiere Pro

This came as a surprise to us and we don't know exactly why, but the most recent version of Premiere Pro (13.1.5) kills and restarts the BeatEdit V1 extension each time you try to load a song. Fortunately, BeatEdit V2 does not have this issue. So please make sure to upgrade to stay compatible with the current Premiere Pro release.

When I click extension in Prem Pro nothing happens.  The Beat window does not appear.

OP: Windows 11

when i do exactly like the video by selecting only and only one audio file this message shows up. and also i have only one audio in entire sequence then also this error is coming.

can i do to fix it?

[Mathias Moehl]

this is usually one of two things:

(A) make sure to really select the audio file in the active sequence (and not in the project panel or a bin of the project)

(B) Make sure to select an audio file (like wav or mp3), not a video file.

Unfortunately BeatEdit only supports audio files but not loading audio data directly from video files. If your music is part of a video file, what you can do is 

1. export a wav file from your video file (Export it with Premiere Pro or Media Encoder and choose “Waveform” as format)

2. import the wav file in your Premiere Pro project

3. load the wav file in BeatEdit
