Love watching your content! You think you could do a video sometime of setting up and timecoding a video in propresenter or resolume and firing it from ableton computer?! I would like to see whole process of the video aspect and how to timecode a video for playback

woa. this blew my mind. so much information. I am looking to eventually get into controlling video clips and lighting using the novation launch pad. what would you recommend for someone who has ableton 11 who is just staring out that would like to use SMPTE?

This is amazing, thank you very much! At the moment i'm creating my live set and this video is super helpful. I'm just wondering if there is a cheaper software to have Ableton with external video in sync? For example I have 10 tracks and each track has it's own video. I'm preparing all my videos in Premiere Pro...so I don't need visuals in real time, just the videos in sync. Is there a less complex software (no visuals and lightening control) ?

@jdyoungblood Жыл бұрын

just make sure your Bluetooth is locked down if you need it or turned off or someone in the audience will try to connect to your computer in the middle of the set and cause the video to disappear mid set. That was fun. 😅

Just tried Timecode inside of ProPre timeline and it worked great. It seems to be a trigger and not constantly adapting, but at least I know the start point is going to be right.

Check your settings so it follows your track

Hey man, got a question if you could help! I'm kind of wondering what the best resource is for a live sound art installation. I'm in the process of making some objects that emit sound which will be placed in there centre of the gallery, my hope is people will play with the objects which will manipulate the sounds. I want a video projected on the wall which also manipulates with these sounds. What might be the best resource for doing this? One where I can kind of link parameters/automation so I can leave Ableton running and it will just work as people play.

Great video. I am new to this and have one simple need. I just bought a launchpad and want to play 30-50 small 30 sec.-videoclips individually when I press the button. Some just as visual effects and some with sound. The MK3 launchpad came with the ableton lite software but it seems very complicated. I just want to push the button and play the video. (No timecode). Play from beginning each time I push. Thats it. What is the easiest / cheapest software to use that goes with my new launchpad?

Id use Resolume or Arkaos VJ

Which version of Ableton?

Hey guys, I am trying to figure out how I can trigger clips in resolume with clips in ableton live? Link is all set up, I can midi map directly to midi gear, but how can I trigger clips from clips in live?

@CBancroft06 Жыл бұрын

I have been testing out Timecode into Pro7 and I have yet to get it to work. I know a few others that have had the same issue. LTC will show up in Pro7 but won't trigger anything. It will be a great feature once it works.

@fromstudiotostage Жыл бұрын

It takes a lot of steps to get it going. I have a new video coming that shows how to set it up step by step. Glad they added it, but the implementation takes a bit longer than I think it should.

For some reason when I drop my clip in from my GoPro, it imports the audio but the video window isn't there. I've tried the view video button and encoded the video to 720 with handbrake but I got nothing. Any tips?

@eboll18 2 ай бұрын

on the topic of multiple machines, can you send midi/timecode info from a mac to a pc? if I'm using a macbook to run ableton is it possible to trigger the video on a pc laptop?

Is there an option I could use for FL Studio on a Mac(just bought it). The FL Video Player is only playing 25fps videos…I just need a simple video playback. Thanks

@boristubeti6776 2 ай бұрын

What’s best to use with FL Studio? Not a fan of their FL Video Player as it only plays back 25fps. Thank you

Timecode disadvantage is when you want looping and jumping between section, it cut video to new possition

@fromstudiotostage Жыл бұрын

I’d say if you want your video to follow when you jump to sections I’d use timecode. If you’re using looping videos I’d consider MIDI

@ZbynekDrlik Жыл бұрын

@@fromstudiotostage we have own design, with combined clips and effects together. Also text effects. We already though to generate final clip and sync with timecode but decision in our design is to stay with midicontrol.
