RaveCut works inside Adobe Premiere Pro, on your Mac. Pick the folder from the night, press one button, and it lines up your cameras with the music, finds the beat, and edits the video for you.
The steps, in 50 seconds
The RaveCut panel in Premiere Pro. Pick a folder, let it work, and your edit appears on the timeline.
The whole workflow
From the folder to your edit, on the beat. The real panel: it finds the cameras, builds the edit, and places it in Premiere Pro. The analysis is sped up; on this 2.5-hour set it took about 10 minutes.
What it makes
