Ableton Forum

Hi 3Dot... is that for Mac?

No... I haven't tried the Beta...

But I dont think this would be a good lyric sheet?

Hi Everyone, I know this has been touched on a few times but I'm looking for the current best solution. During my live performances I like to have lyrics to new songs on the computer screen along with Ableton Live. I think I need the lyrics to be in the Ableton application because I am also displayi...

I recently wrote an article you maybe interested in regarding Ableton and Quicktime codecs:

-M-Audio Firewire 410 (driver 1.8.2 works!) That's great news for me... I just picked up a new Macbook Pro which should arrive on Monday and I believe it has the drop in Leopard Install (aka has Tiger on it but you can upgrade right away). The Firewire 410 was the only thing second guessing if I sh...

Hi Guys,

So I tested most of the codecs available to me from Final Cut Pro and you were right... Photo-Jpeg is the best. Least CPU Hit, small size...

I wrote a article about it here:

Hi Everyone, Ok from Final Cut Pro I want to export the in the JPEG format as suggested. I see Motion JPEG A, Motion JPEG B and Photo - JPEG... which one are you guys suggesting? And just to verify my footsteps in Final Cut I go File -> Export -> Using Quicktime Conversion then select Quicktime Movi...

Its going to be 2 audio tracks of music and 1 track with the mic input open. A few plug-ins for vocal effects. 1 video track.

Hi Guys,

Thanks I am reading all these as you post... this is highly appreciated! I'm taking this info and researching everything you say.

My new Macbook Pro has an internal 160GB 7200RPM drive. Thanks for the link to the VJ Forum I think it will be useful. I think Im going to stick with Ableton running the video itself. Each song already has a completed video so I don't need any real time manipulation... they just need to play when th...

Thanks for the responses I think other people will find this thread useful too. I was speaking with a friend who does video editing as a profession and he suggested:

640x480
Bitrate: 800kbps
MP4

Im still in research mode... what do you guys think about what he said?

Hi rikhyray,

I will be using Ableton 100% thats it.. The Ableton manual says .mov quicktimes but never mentions codec or size.

Hi Everyone, Does anyone have any advice on how to prepare quicktime videos for use in Live for a performance? For example, I will have a Macbook Pro (15" 2.2 Ghz) on stage and along with a backing track playing in arrangement view. I will have a video playing in sync that will be displayed fro...

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know if Live 6 will run on Leopard on day one? The reason I ask is I am buying a new Macbook Pro and it makes the most sense to wait a few days and get it with Leopard installed. That said I would really like to have Live up and running right away.

Anybody know?

Great new version. Ableton continues to impress. Right on target, slam dunk, etc...!!!
