After the song's BPM value (= beats per minute) has been found, the music will
be separated into short, similar passages (remix objects). The individual
objects that result in (However, nothing prevents you from doing just that. To
do so, click on "Ungroup".)
The resulting object borders are important for editing. Because all objects
always "snap to grid" on their edges, videos can be arranged in such a way so
that they are cut exactly to the rhythm of the music: the positions on the track
where the videos will snap lie on the positions of the beat.
Requirements
 The song must be longer than 15 seconds.
 The song must be “rhythmic” (danceable).
 The song must be in stereo format.
Preparation - Setting the start marker and object end
Before opening the Auto Remix Assistant, you should set the start marker at
the position in the song object in the arranger where you want detection to
start. If the song contains a long intro without beats, set the start marker after
the intro. As a rule of thumb, the Auto Remix Assistant should always be "fed"
dance music.
 The start marker should be set before a quarter note beat or, better still, briefly
before a beat at the start of a bar.
 If the start marker lies before the song object, the object is examined from the
beginning.
 If detection is not performed by the end of the song, the object can be
shortened accordingly with the object handle at the end of the object.
Checking the automatic tempo recognition
The song has to meet the following three requirements to be successfully
analyzed:
 It must be longer than 15 seconds.
 It must contain "rhythmic" (danceable) music.
 It must be in stereo format.
The analysis takes place in three steps:
Step 1: Checking the start marker
Step 2: Tempo recognition
Step 3: Specifying beat starts
Step 4: Application of BPM and beat recognition
