Question Calculating BPM in timeline

[Toddy]

Is there a way to determine the Beats per minute in Timeline when adjusting local or global speed? If I had a song that was 120BPM what position would I set the animation speed slider to match the speed of the song? I could accomplish it by trial and error but I am hoping there is a easier way.

Some plugins do that for lights at least. Take a look in the plugin category, maybe they can adjust to more than lights.

The way I do it is, I set the cycle to 1 second then play with the speed slider until I get something that matches. I generally avoid using animation speed - it's kind of janky.

Dude. Long time no see!

I thought of doing the same thing but using at least 4 seconds to represent a four count as my starting point. On each tick, trigger a audible tick to simulate a metronome. Then using metronome online to match the triggered ticks to get the BPM.

I will try to find one. Thanks
