Create beat markers for a soundtrack
You can create snap-to markers where the beat is strongest in your soundtrack. Use the Beat Detect option in the context menu that appears
when you right-click/ctrl-click the audio clip in the Expert view timeline. You can trim or add clips to the markers. As you drag or trim a clip in the
Expert view timeline, the clip’s In point or Out point snaps to the nearest beat marker.
Beat markers appear as blue lines in a separate area called the Beat Track. There must be at least one beat marker in the movie for the beat track
to appear. You cannot add media to the beat track.
1. Add an audio clip, or a video clip that includes audio, to the soundtrack in the Expert view timeline.
2. Right-click/ctrl-click the audio clip and choose the Beat Detect option in the context menu.
3. In the Beat Detect Settings dialog box, specify settings as desired, and click OK. Descriptions of the options appear in the Beat Detect
Settings dialog box, beside the light bulb icon .
Beat markers appear in the Expert view timeline, corresponding to the beats in the soundtrack.
4. To add additional beat markers manually, right-click/ctrl-click in the Expert view timeline time ruler where you want to add the marker, and
choose Set Beat Marker.
5. To remove a beat marker, right-click/ctrl-click the marker in the Expert view timeline time ruler, and choose Clear Beat Marker. To remove
all beat markers, right-click/ctrl-click in the time ruler, and choose Clear All Beat Markers.
6. To navigate to different beat markers, right-click/ctrl-click the time ruler, and choose Go To Beat Marker > Next or Previous.
Creating SmartSound tracks
Included with Adobe Premiere Elements is the SmartSound® Quicktracks® plug-in. Use SmartSound Quicktracks to select from among a large
collection of sound tracks for your video project. Then use SmartSound tools to customize the length of the sound track so that it corresponds
exactly with the length of your movie.
To use SmartSound Quicktracks on your video project, select SmartSound from the Music panel in the Expert view timeline, and follow the
prompts.
Use SmartSound tracks in Adobe Premiere Elements
Ensure that you are connected to the Internet if you are using SmartSound for the first time. When you choose the SmartSound option, the audio
files from SmartSound are downloaded to your computer in the background. This process can take a few minutes.
