BeatEdit for After Effects is an extension from mamoworld, sold through aescripts + plugins, that finds the beats in a music track so you can animate in time with the music. Instead of tapping markers by hand and guessing tempos, BeatEdit analyses the audio and gives you accurate beat information you can turn into markers, keyframes, repeated animations or staggered layers. It is a favourite for music videos, lyric videos, social clips and any After Effects project where the visuals need to hit exactly on the beat.

Key Features

• Automatic beat detection based on research-grade beat tracking technology
• Create beat markers on layers and compositions in a few clicks
• Beat Wiggle tools that animate properties in time with the music
• Repeat keyframes and stagger layers directly from the detected beats
• Fine control over which beats your animation reacts to

2. Download from the official site, which is the aescripts + plugins store, and download the installer or trial.
3. Install the extension, open it inside After Effects, load your music track and let BeatEdit detect the beats.

System Requirements

FAQs

How accurate is the beat detection?

BeatEdit uses beat tracking developed by university research groups in Porto and Victoria, and it is designed to stay accurate even on songs where the beat is not obvious. You can still adjust the results manually if a track changes tempo.

Can I try BeatEdit first?
