Hi all!
I am doing an animated music video where all characters have to move to the beat of the song.
Does anyone have any tips on creating a "BEAT CHART" from a WAV file for AS? Something visual
on the timeline that marks the down or upbeat?

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

I would generate a click track from Audacity and import into ASP. You'll get both visual and audio markers on the timeline.

Neeters!!!! You just saved my life on that one thank you so much. I am not working off a midi file so I had no idea. I did manage to find out the BPS and I generated a click track in Audacity like you said and it's perfect!

Thanks again!

Hey DK,
This might also help - I saw a BPM calculator online and asked the guy if he could add a frames per beat feature. What this means is if you set a fps and tap to the beat, it will give you the number of frames per beat (as well as bpm for creating a click track if you want) - so you know (for example) if you have key things happen every X frames, they will fall on a beat.

Bare in mind though that unless the music is electronic, the beats are more than likely to be drifting somewhat throughout the track...

Wow...that's an interesting tool funks!!! Certainly be keeping that one in the AS toolbox.
Thanks for posting.
