Steps to Use Beat Detection in Filmora

Beat Detection is designed to simplify audio synchronization and save editing time. Follow the steps below to detect beats and edit with greater precision:

Step 1. Start a New Project and Import Music

Open Filmora on your Windows PC and click New Project from the main interface. Once inside the editor, import the music or audio file you want to analyze.

Step 2. Run Beat Detection on the Audio Track

Locate the imported music file in the media library and right-click it. From the menu that appears, choose Beat Detection to let Filmora scan the audio and identify the rhythm automatically.

Step 3. Check Beat Markers on the Timeline

Once the analysis finishes, a Beat icon will appear on the audio thumbnail. Drag the processed music file to the timeline to see the generated beat markers aligned with the soundtrack.

Step 4. Open Beat Marker Settings

If you want more control over the detected beats, right-click the audio file in the media library and select Beat Options. This opens the beat customization panel.

Step 5. Modify Beat Detection Preferences

Inside the Beat Options window, select the Beat option and press the OK button to proceed.

Step 6. Insert Extra Beat Markers Manually

For sections where additional timing points are needed, move the playhead to the desired position and select the audio clip on the timeline. Then click the Marker button or press M on your keyboard to place a new marker.

Step 7. Delete Unnecessary Beat Markers

If certain markers are not needed, click the marker and press the Delete key to remove it. You can also right-click a marker and choose Delete or Delete All Markers to clear multiple points quickly. When everything looks right, click Export to save the finished project.
