Questions

Why does my editor not detect beats by itself?

Premiere Pro has no built-in beat detection, and marking beats by hand means tapping M along with the song. Here the markers come as a file Premiere or Resolve imports in one step.

The BPM is double or half what I expected. Why?

Tempo is ambiguous: a song at 72 BPM also fits 144. Use ×2 or ÷2 and listen to the clicks; pick the one that feels like the pulse you'd cut to.

How accurate are the beats?

On music with a steady beat, markers land within a few milliseconds of the kick, well under one video frame. Live, rubato or drumless music is harder; you'll hear it in the clicks.

What is the Camelot code next to the key?

DJs use the Camelot wheel to mix songs in compatible keys: neighbours on the wheel (like 8A and 9A) blend smoothly.
