Ah ah don't be too modest

After all this time, finally! I haven't tried the beta yet, but if it works as advertised it would be excellent news!
By the way Jur, if ever you had anything to do with it by relaying our feedbacks on the topic to the developer: thanks a lot !!

thank you for the tip.
it may work for some, but in my case Live just render a 'black' video, with just the sound working (so video export is broken too !)

I don’t think you get the point. We’re not talking about complex video editing features. It’s just about being able to PLAY a video file on the timeline, in order to make and add AUDIO (the ‘A’ in DAW) or MUSIC to a video file, like Film Scoring for example. Resolve is a NLE and not a DAW indeed (it...

This is unacceptable. Live 12 just got announced, and nothing concerning video support on Windows. It's perhaps not worth the devellopers's time. They have to focus instead on 'sparking musical creativity' by 'introducing playful MIDI tools'. Hopefully Live 13 will compose the music for you from sta...

Haven't watched the whole video but try perhaps to go in the preferences and change the default warping behaviour for long files to 'unwarped'

Also make sure you select the right (audio) driver and buffer settings

Use wav files of the same samplerate as your project

Matroska hasn't been updated for ten years, development is dead so I doubt you will get any answer.
Ableton needs to improve drastically video support on Windows it's a shame Live can't even play a simple MP4 file properly.

Ableton devs, is anybody hearing ????

Hello, I'm afraid there might not be a solution to your problem. I've had the same issue for years, and it's simply impossible to use Live for working with video. Why does it work with your laptop, though? To me it doesn't have to do with Live version (I tried them all). It's probably the exception ...

it was quite surprising to see such an old and frankly quite severe bug that really hindered my workflow still unfixed after 3 years.

Sorry but not surprising at all... just the 'legendary' Ableton Live video/graphics support on PC...

Salut, il est très probable que tu galères pour travailler la video dans Live sur PC, quelque soit la version de Windows (8, 8.1, 10, 11, je n'ai pas noté que cela ait une incidence). Live est excellent pour la musique/ le son mais très capricieux avec la vidéo selon le format de fichier video, code...

Hi, I think Reaper can warp video, but its warping system and overall interface are unfortunarely nowhere near as intuitive as Live's. Personally, I've given up on importing any videos into Live because it crashes instantly and can't even read a short mp4 clip (I'm on PC, though). I hope you'll find...

Ableton + Video = Bad

Please make sure to report to Support if you haven't already. Of course they're aware of the situation, but complains need to be visible. I'm making sure to forward this on my end, just like every time the topic comes up. Do they really care ? :D Come on, Live video support on Windows has been brok...

Hi, as you say Live Intro should indeed play and export video files (like even free DAW do). Figure that a 750$ 'professional' DAW like Ableton Suite can't even properly PLAY simple Full HD mp4 video files on Windows without stuttering or crashing (even after installing their Matroska thing). It's b...
