Description:

Ulti.Media is proud to present the new version of BeatMark X, the acclaimed application that allows you to generate timed music markers to be used in Final Cut Pro X.


How does it work?

Simple: drag the file with the song in the “Drag Here Music File” area, then press “BeatMark”: the application will analyze the audio file and generate the markers.

At the end just press continue and an FCPXML file will be generated in the same folder where the original audio file was. Drag this FCPXML file to Final Cut Pro X, and you’re done!


What’s new?

If you’ve already used BeatMark X (version 1) this won’t seem like anything new, but the potential of BeatMark 2 and the new user interface take your workflow to new levels, allowing you to be even more accurate and save even more time!


Song Analysis

The preferences panel allows you to specify which algorithm to use for the analysis (the MS algorithm is the most suitable for songs that have a constant rhythm, but for less conventional songs you can choose to use the Peak Filter algorithm).

You can also choose to identify the moments in the audio when there is speech to get a clear reference with markers of the silent parts and the parts where there is someone talking.


Marker management after analysis

But it’s just after having made the analysis of the song that the potential of BeatMark 2 shows the real innovation: once the analysis is finished, this new window is presented showing the timeline of the song with the markers too, in all similar to the timeline of Final Cut Pro X.


Cut and delete

In fact one of the greatest potential of BeatMark 2 is the possibility to cut the music directly inside the app, all the cuts and changes will be exactly the same inside Final Cut Pro X.
There are these two new icons that allow you to make cuts (the blade in Final Cut Pro X), and delete a clip.

If you’ve selected the option to display the markers every four cycles, making two cuts at these highlighted markers, selecting the clip between them and finally deleting it, you’ll get a timeline with the shortest music, and a precise cut.


Export options

BeatMark 2 allows you to export even just the clip without creating a new timeline (a project in Final Cut Pro X): the clip will show all the markers within an event, and this clip can be used in all projects in the Final Cut pro X library.

If you choose to create a timeline instead, you can also select the option to create Placeholders: a Placeholder at each marker, this way the clip replacement will be even faster within Final Cut Pro X for an even more effective workflow.
