Frame-Accurate Click Tracks for Final Cut Pro

Made with 🎸 FretBoard 3.3 — your all-in-one solution for creating captivating visuals on a

fretboard.

Creating the animations for these free click tracks was effortless, thanks to the new Metronome

plugin introduced in FretBoard 3.3.

1️⃣ Click Tracks – HEVC with Alpha

----------------------------------------------------------------------

These are video clips with transparent backgrounds that include synced audio click tracks.

Simply drag a metronome thumbnail clip into your Final Cut Pro project — no masks or keying

required.

Perfect for overlaying directly on performances, tutorials, or split-screen lessons.

Codecs: Timecode, HEVC with Alpha, Linear PCM

Each file provides both visual metronome animation and matching audio, ready to use

immediately.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

2️⃣ Click Tracks – Audio Only

----------------------------------------------------------------------

These are standalone audio versions of each tempo (30–240 BPM), ideal for users who own

FretBoard 3

and want to sync visuals directly in Final Cut Pro.

Format: AIFF • 48 kHz • 24-bit

Each audio file is 33 seconds long, with a 1-second build-in.

The short lead-in allows you to place a clip in the “Rest” position before the first beat of the next

Metronome generator clip.

Pro Tip:

You can creatively mix tempos!

For example, layer a 90 BPM visual track with a 180 BPM audio-only track at a lower volume

to represent eighth notes or rhythmic subdivisions.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 

🧩 How to Install the Audio Click Tracks

----------------------------------------------------------------------

To access the audio files directly inside Final Cut Pro under:

Sound Effects → BearDogFx

Install this folder in the following location:

Macintosh HD / Library / Audio / Apple Loops / Apple / Final Cut Pro Sound Effects

After installation, restart Final Cut Pro if it was open.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

⚙️ Adjusting BPM in Final Cut Pro

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Use Final Cut Pro’s Re-time (⌘R) function to match the BPM of your Click Track

to the tempo of your music or video clip.

In the Re-time editor, make sure “Speed Transitions” is unchecked for accurate synchronization.
