B.Beat can play Video files in Mp4 and MOV
format.
Video files can be previously synchronized
with an Audio project. Synchronization can
be done with any Video Editing software
for example iMovie, Final CUT and others.
Once you have synchronized the video with
the music you can transfer both the audio
and video project to B.Beat and create a
project that will be handled by B.Beat as if
it were a single Audio and Video item. This
is especially effective for performances in
which you want to combine a Video com-
mentary with music. The video can be as-
sociated with Backing Tracks even with-
out being synchronized, but the moment
you join it to the music on B.Beat manager
the two items will be joined and will be
played together by B.Beat.
The video can also be transferred to B.Beat
without being joined to Backing Tracks, in
which case the file will be independent of
the music but can be played at any time,
and will accompany your performances.
You are now ready to import the Video/Im-
ages to B.Beat:
1.Connect B.Beat to the PC in a preferred
mode
2.Launch the B.Beat Manager program
3.From the Library menu, select Media.
4.Click on the key:
From this point you can transfer video File
to B.Beat. See B.Beat Manager Software
guide.
IMPORT MIDI FILE IMPORT MIDI FILE
TO B.BEATTO B.BEAT
Projects imported from the PC to B.Beat
can contain Audio, Video and Image tracks
and even a MIDI File. With the Midi File you
will be able to issue particular controls to
the various devices in your set up. These
messages, when synchronized with the
music, will allow for greater effectiveness
of your performance. Through Midi you can
throw exclusive program or system change
messages to keyboards and expanders or
other modules you use in the live part of
the show. In addition, the Midi File can con-
tain the lyrics and chords of the backing
tracks, in which case they will be imported
to B.Beat and read via M-Live's Prompter
App available for Smartphones and Tablets
of all types. Writing Lyrics and chords can
be done on the Daw using meta event Midi.
See the "Lyrics and chord writing” chapter.
You can create the MIDI FIle on your DAW,
and then you will transfer it to B.Beat with-
in an Audio-Video project that will make up
the sound and video part of the show. The
