Timing your edits to a musical beat is one of the oldest editing techniques around. Similar to how a good sea shanty helped sailors synchronize their rowing strokers, a rhythmic beat was often used as the basis for early animation. It was super common throughout the 20th century.
Despite its prevalence, the art of editing to the beat is still a laborious task. Not quite to the level of hand-drawn 1920s animation or manually cutting reels of film, Accusonus admits. But finicky enough to slow down your workflow.
Available now for free, BeatMaker is an easy solution for editing your content to a musical beat. Simply add a track, and it highlights your song’s beats as clearly-identifiable markers. Right there on the timeline, all within Premier Pro – no external software, no manual work.
