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.
Open Pulse Edit, drop in your music, import the timeline back into Resolve.
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.
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.
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.
Automatic beat-synced editing with an AI mood analyzer — packaged for the OTIO workflow.
Every Beat, Energy Map, Build-up & Drop, Wedding, Humanize, Half-time, Double-time, Wedding Slow, Verse/Chorus and more.
State-of-the-art beat tracker — handles tempo changes, swung beats, complex time signatures (2/4 → 7/4) without manual tweaking.
Cut density adapts to the music. Quiet intro = long shots. Drop = rapid cuts. Outro = breathing room. All automatic.
Calm, Happy, Melancholic, Energetic, Aggressive, Epic. Affects clip selection and cut rhythm — not just colour.
Detects drops in EDM/trailer tracks and times the visual hit. Same trick the pros do manually, applied in one pass.
Optional micro-offset that breaks the robotic on-beat feeling. The cut feels intentional, not algorithmic.
See every detected beat. Add, move, delete by hand. Lock the section you like, regenerate the rest.
OTIO carries beat markers as timeline markers — they show up in DaVinci Resolve Free with full timecodes, no scripting API required.
No subscription, ever. €39.99 launch, lifetime updates. New cut patterns, new detectors, new presets — included.
One app, one price. The OTIO timeline imports natively into DR Free and DR Studio — no scripting API, no plugin install.

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.
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.
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.
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.
