Description
Final Cut Pro 12 finally added automatic beat detection, and it completely changes how you edit to music.
In this video, I walk through how beat detection works, how to enable it, and how I use it to:
• Cut perfectly to the beat
• Stretch songs without awkward edits
• Build faster, smoother, music-driven edits
I also break down a real-world example and share a few timing tricks that make edits feel more natural instead of predictable.
If you edit to music in Final Cut Pro, this update is a big one.
