DJ sets.Cut on the beat.

Drop in every camera from the night. BeatPilot syncs them by sound, finds every drop and cuts the multicam on the beat — like this, on your Mac. Then the timeline is yours in Premiere, Final Cut or Resolve.

BEATPILOTHOW THE NIGHT GETS CUT01 — 06

The night in.
The edit out.

  1. 01

    Drop the night in

    Every camera and recorder, a folder each. Nothing is copied, nothing is changed.

  2. 02

    Synced by sound

    Clocks a day off? Doesn't matter. Every take lines up by its audio, drift and all.

  3. 03

    Cut on the beat

    It finds the tempo and every drop, then cuts: patient in the build, fast when it drops.

  4. 04

    Zones

    Warm-up, peak hour, closing. Mark a stretch and give it its own pace.

  5. 05

    Log, handled

    S-Log3 gets spotted and turned into Rec.709 on its own. Drag across the picture.

  6. 06

    Yours to finish

    A real timeline for Premiere, Final Cut or Resolve, every angle still there to switch.

DROP 1

Every drop.
A Reel.

The moments the crowd went up, found in the set and cut vertical: framed on the DJ, a few bars or 15 seconds, with the sound from your recorder or the camera's own mic. Ready to post before the night is over.

Podcasts, cut by
who's talking.

Each mic tells PodPilot who's speaking, and it works out who each camera shows. The cut follows the conversation, cuts away for a reaction, and turns two close-ups into a split screen. The sound comes out at −16 LUFS, ready for Spotify.
