Vidding to the beat with Premiere Elements

[keerawa.livejournal.com]

I'm using the trial version of Premiere Elements 2.0 to create my first vid. I've been synching clips to the beat by ear. I'm getting pretty good at it, but I KNOW there must be a better way.

I've heard that ideally you should start a clip 3 frames before the beat. If I Zoom the Timeline ALL the way down I think it's showing me indivdual frames, but it's very hard to play the audio clip to hear the beats and catch them before they zoom by.

Is there some way that the program can show me where the beats occur visually?

Or am I missing something obvious?
