Beat-synced editing comes back to DaVinci Resolve Free

Since November 2024, plugins like BeatEdit stopped working on DR Free — Blackmagic disabled the scripting API in version 19.1. Pulse Edit brings auto-cut and marker placement back, by exporting an OTIO timeline you import in one click.

What changed in November 2024

With DaVinci Resolve 19.1, Blackmagic Design disabled the external scripting API in the free edition. Tools that auto-edit clips or place beat markers — BeatEdit, BeatBuddy, scripts built on the API — stopped working overnight for the ~7 million users on the free version.

Pulse Edit takes a different route: it analyses your music, builds a fully-cut timeline locally, and exports it as an OTIO file. You import that file into DaVinci Resolve in one click. Free edition or Studio — same result, same workflow.

Three steps. No scripting API required.

Open Pulse Edit, drop in your music, import the timeline back into Resolve.

1

Drop in your music + clips

Pulse Edit reads your audio and analyses beats with the beat_this AI detector. Pick a folder of clips or specific files — sequential or random order.

2

Choose pattern + mood

12 cut patterns (Energy Map, Every Beat, Wedding, Build-up/Drop, Humanize…), 6 mood presets, an interactive waveform you can edit by hand. Preview the timing before exporting.

3

Import OTIO into Resolve

Pulse Edit exports a standard OTIO timeline. In DaVinci Resolve: File → Import Timeline → OpenTimelineIO. Works in DR Free and DR Studio 18.5+. No plugin install, no scripting permissions.

What's inside

Automatic beat-synced editing with an AI mood analyzer — packaged for the OTIO workflow.

12 cut patterns

Every Beat, Energy Map, Build-up & Drop, Wedding, Humanize, Half-time, Double-time, Wedding Slow, Verse/Chorus and more.

beat_this AI detection

State-of-the-art beat tracker — handles tempo changes, swung beats, complex time signatures (2/4 → 7/4) without manual tweaking.

Energy map

Cut density adapts to the music. Quiet intro = long shots. Drop = rapid cuts. Outro = breathing room. All automatic.

Mood presets

Calm, Happy, Melancholic, Energetic, Aggressive, Epic. Affects clip selection and cut rhythm — not just colour.

Build-up & drop

Detects drops in EDM/trailer tracks and times the visual hit. Same trick the pros do manually, applied in one pass.

Humanize cuts

Optional micro-offset that breaks the robotic on-beat feeling. The cut feels intentional, not algorithmic.

Interactive waveform

See every detected beat. Add, move, delete by hand. Lock the section you like, regenerate the rest.

Markers visible in DR Free

OTIO carries beat markers as timeline markers — they show up in DaVinci Resolve Free with full timecodes, no scripting API required.

One-time price

No subscription, ever. €39.99 launch, lifetime updates. New cut patterns, new detectors, new presets — included.

Works with every version of DaVinci Resolve

One app, one price. The OTIO timeline imports natively into DR Free and DR Studio — no scripting API, no plugin install.

Questions about Pulse Edit Free

Does this really work with the free version of DaVinci Resolve?

Yes. Pulse Edit doesn't use the Resolve scripting API — that's exactly the thing Blackmagic disabled in the free edition in November 2024. It exports a standard OTIO timeline, and DaVinci Resolve Free fully supports importing OTIO files. The cuts and markers land on your timeline ready to use.

Is OTIO supported by DaVinci Resolve Free?

Yes. OpenTimelineIO is an open timeline format developed by Pixar. DaVinci Resolve (Free and Studio) supports OTIO import natively under File → Import Timeline → OpenTimelineIO. The format carries cuts, clip references, and markers — everything Pulse Edit needs.

What happens to my clips? Are they re-encoded?

No. Pulse Edit only writes the timeline — your media files stay where they are, untouched. The OTIO file points to your original clips. Resolve loads them at full quality with no re-encoding.

What if it doesn't work on my setup?

Pulse Edit comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee. If it doesn't work on your DaVinci Resolve setup, email support@pulseedit.com — we'll fix it or refund you, no questions asked.

Will updates be free?

Yes. One-time purchase, lifetime updates. New cut patterns, detector improvements, presets, bug fixes — all included.

What platforms? (Mac Intel users, please read)

Windows: Windows 10/11, 64-bit. Same feature set as macOS. The Windows build is currently unsigned — SmartScreen will warn the first time; click "More info" → "Run anyway". This is normal for new independent software and goes away as we build reputation. It is not a virus: the installer scans 100% clean — 0/75 on VirusTotal.
