Beatnik
Developer: Ebberts + Zucker
One-click audio-driven edits, speed ramps and retimings for After Effects.
What Beatnik does
Built by Ebberts + Zucker, Beatnik is a plugin running inside After Effects that reacts to sound. With a single click it creates edits that follow the audio, along with speed ramps and retimings, which suits music videos and rhythmic montages.
The tool handles additional kinds of edits beyond those core three and works across a broad range of After Effects versions, from CC 2014 to 2026. A demo video is available to show it in action. Editors and motion artists can use it to avoid hand-placing cuts and time changes against a beat.
