If you keep running into format issues with Live's built-in video, you might want to try an external player instead. I built FrameSync — it's a standalone video player that syncs to Ableton via AbletonOSC. Handles H.264, ProRes, and MXF without any codec hassle on Live's side.

Re: Add SMPTE Timecode Lock for Film Scoring
I feel this — tempo changes breaking cue positions is a real pain when
scoring in Live. I built a standalone video player called FrameSync that
connects to Ableton via AbletonOSC and follows the transport
frame-accurately. Play, stop, scrub — the video stays locked. It runs
outside Live so it doesn ...

Re: Ableton sync issues with video help!
If you're still dealing with this — I built FrameSync specifically because of these kinds of sync issues. It's a standalone app that connects to Live via AbletonOSC and keeps video locked to the transport with continuous position correction, so no drift. Runs outside the session so it can't ...

Re: video sync alternatives (Windows)
Another option that now works on Windows — FrameSync is a standalone app that syncs video to Ableton's transport via AbletonOSC. Frame-accurate, handles H.264 natively and auto-converts ProRes/MXF. Runs outside Live entirely.

Re: Live 11 TV / Film scoring?
Late to this thread but relevant — I score to picture in Live and built a standalone video sync app called FrameSync. It connects via AbletonOSC and follows the transport frame-accurately through play, scrub, and loops. No plugins in your session, handles ProRes and MXF alongside H.264.

Re: Sync to video, urgently needed.
I ran into the same frustration and ended up building something for it — FrameSync is a standalone app that syncs video to Ableton's transport via AbletonOSC. Frame-accurate on play, stop, and scrub, with drift correction over long cues. Runs outside Live so it can't crash your session.

Lock States / Save Parameters like in Maschine 2.7
