DJ-beat

Dj-beat is an easy-to-use generator that automatically detects audio beats and generates time markers for FCPX and Adobe Premiere*.

P.S. why the tool is called DJ beat? DJ is from my chinese first name of course...

🎧 Overview

A good music-driven video requires a perfect combination of sound and picture. Think about you're using the video editing software like Final Cut Pro X, you need to manually mark the place on the soundtrack that denotes the beat. Now, you have the DJ-beat, which can help you handle such a boring thing, mark, mark, mark...While it may do better than us.

Dj-beat is a simple tool developed based on python3 and madmom library, supports operating via command line and graphical interface*. The principle of the tool is the music beat tracking (based on multi-LSTM models and Dynamic Bayesian Network), then the tool output the XML file, which the FCPX and PRE can read.
