Thanks for using Drum Notation by Beat Note!
Version 5.0 marks a huge milestone. One of the most requested features from the Beat Note community and content creators across social platforms is finally here: Animated Video Notation Export.
Why This Matters
Creating animated notation videos used to require hours of manual work across multiple professional programs, each with steep learning curves and expensive licenses. You’d need video editing software, screen recording tools, and notation programs, spending half a day (or more) on what should be a simple task.
Beat Note’s new Video Creator brings all of that power into a single, intuitive workflow on your phone or tablet. What once took hours now takes minutes. What once cost hundreds in software licenses is now accessible through a single subscription at a fraction of the price. Focus on your creativity, not your software.
NEW: Video Creator
Export your notation as animated MP4 videos with professional polish:
• Export quality: 720p, 1080p, or 4K resolution
• Flexible framing: Portrait (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) or landscape (YouTube, Vimeo)
• Smart layouts: Control measures per row/column. Notation animates measure-by-measure automatically.
• Customizable design: Adjust notation size, padding, and spacing to fit your style or social templates
• Three color themes: Black-on-white, white-on-black (dark mode), or Beat Note’s signature white-on-navy
• Live preview: See exactly how your video will look before exporting, including sample backgrounds
• Playback control: Set tempo and loop count
• Measure selection: Export only the sections you need
One tap creates your video, ready to save and sync with your performance footage.
Professional. Fast. Wherever you need it. This furthers Beat Note’s “Create once, export everywhere” philosophy. Now you can export Audio, Image, PDF, Link, and Video, all from the app you already use.
Subscription Update
The Video Creator is available in the new Creator tier. All existing Pro subscribers are now on the Educator tier and keep full access to all previous Pro features. Your access remains the same as before.
