I know this belongs in the "making a video" post, but I've posted there and I wanted to post to a wider audience. I need some help with the beat meter. I'm a complete newcomer to video editing software and I learn quickly, but I need a little guidance.

I'm getting the beat matching down, I just need to figure out how to incorporate a meter then it's off to the races.

Please please please

Someone teach me!!!

ps. I'm using vegas 10

I believe that everyone makes the beatmeters in Adobe After Effects.

Here are some video tutorials for that http://www.milovana.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=8721

Like ThumpeR11 said, pretty much all of the beat meters are done with After Effects. Brewster's tutorial is great and if you watch it while doing the same thing with AE yourself you will end up with a good beat meter. Create it once as per the instructions in Brewster's video and save the project. Then when you want to create another one for the next round, just load the project, swap out the audio track and re-render.
Just to make things simpler, start with the longest song you have for the first one, that way the needed blocks and other elements of the beat meter will be long enough for when you swap another song there.

If that sounded weird, just try it once and you will see what I mean (if the new song is longer than the original one, your beat meter will stop mid song).

Of course you can just do it from the beginning each time but I found the method I described to make it quicker. It might be that I'm doing it stupidly since I have no other experience with AE so I reserve the right to be stupid
