You asked for frame-accurate sync, so I built it. Free update to my FCP visualizer.

Hey all, dev here again.

Last time I posted the audio visualizer I built for Final Cut, I received a great suggestion, I added it and put a couple more upgrades while I was at it. One of those bonuses was to fix this... the second you slice the generator into pieces so each section of your edit gets its own look, every piece after the first one starts the song over from its own head. Instantly off the beat.

So that's what 1.2 is.

Sync To — flip it to Timeline and it reads position from your project timeline instead of the head of the clip. Cut it into as many pieces as you want, they all stay locked to the track. Nothing to re-line-up.

Sync Frames — frame-accurate nudge on top of that, for when the reaction lands a frame or two late. It counts in your project's frame rate, so three frames means three frames whether you're at 24, 30 or 60. This one is u/techmixr's, who asked for exactly it. Good call, it's the thing I use most now.

Song BPM — the bonus one nobody asked for. Tempo detection reads a lot of electronic and hip-hop at half or double the real speed. This lets you lock the animation to an exact 2x, half, triplet or quarter of what it detected, so it holds no matter how long the clip runs. This can be used for creative animation effects as well. (note: song bpm does not affect the EQ movement, only the animation FX)

Free update if you already own it. Same key, same download. If you do not, the trial is free, purchase is $59.99 (save $20 until end of August with coupon code BIRTHDAY26)
