Syncing BPM to match dancing in video clip to audio in a song

[brettm63324777]

I'm working on a project where I'm syncing up a bunch of different footage of people dancing. I'm syncing each individual clip to match with a BPM of one central song. Most of my clips need to be adjusted to fit in with the song BPM (luckily the beat is very clearly shown through the dancing/audio within my clips so I can visually link them up).

I'm looking for advice on how to do this in a realistic and sane way, so I can save some time (My song is 22 minutes long, and I'm pulling together footage from about 100 different sources).

Is there a built-in feature within Premiere to match BPM?

Does anyone have any advice for a workflow that will save me time in doing this? Currently I'm either syncing them up by eye, or by trial and error adjustments of the clip speeds. Is there a practical way for me to approach this? 

Thanks for your advice!

There is no built-in feature for BPM matching. It really is the art of the editor to achieve this.

In order to allow for finer adjustment than standard framerates allow for (say 24/25/29,97 fps), you may decide to create a sequence at 50 or 60 fps. But your source footage should support that as well.

BeatEdit2 for Premiere is the best thing I know of for this. It's a plugin and does this very slickly.
