Installing BeatMaxing
Step-by-step install for BeatMaxing, the Premiere Pro drum-marker plugin for Mac: two clicks, one macOS prompt, and what to do if macOS says “damaged”.
Install it in under a minute.
Two clicks, and macOS asks once. Here is
exactly what you'll see.
The whole install is one double-click

BeatMaxing HelperIt's in this folder, next to this card. It installs itself
— nothing to drag anywhere.

macOS asks once — and the blue button is the right one.
“BeatMaxing Helper” is an app downloaded from the
Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?
Apple checked it for malicious software and none was
detected.

✓ Click Open. Give it a few seconds.

A box from BeatMaxing says it's done.
BeatMaxing Helper

OK
✓ Click OK. That's the whole install.
macOS may also show a small background items
notice. That's normal — it means the helper will start with your Mac.

The download didn't arrive whole — it happens, and it's the
download, not your Mac and not the app. Delete the download and download
it again from beatmaxing.com. The fresh copy installs normally.

Then, in Premiere Pro:
Markers land on the drum hits, named and colored by drum.
Too many hi-hats? Untick them. A touch early? Nudge them — nothing ever
needs a second Find.
Opens as a floating window? That's normal. Drag it into
your layout wherever you want — it docks like any other Premiere
panel.
BeatMaxing not in that menu? The panel is its own tiny
download at beatmaxing.com — double-click it and Creative Cloud installs
it.
Creative Cloud asks twice before it installs the panel
That is Adobe, not us — it is what they show for any plugin
installed from outside their store. The first box calls the plugin
“non-marketplace”. The second lists what plugins are
able to do and says you may be asked for your Mac password —
on our own tests, on two Macs, it never asked. It also tells you to read
the developer’s terms, and ours are real pages:
beatmaxing.com/privacy.html and beatmaxing.com/terms.html.
When it finishes, Creative Cloud says
“BeatMaxing is now installed.”
