If you want to do animations in After Effects that perfectly fit with your music, then this tutorial is for you. It covers all basic functions of our tool beat assistant. You learn how to automatically detect the bpm (beat per minute) of your music and generate markers according to the beat. Then we cover how to make text appear word by word in sync with the beat and finally how to animate stuff according to the beat using beat assistant's keyframe functions.
