# 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...

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.
