Video and Timecode

Post by leotone » Sun May 08, 2022 10:16 am

Is there any possibility that in future version we could be able to work whit timecodes?
I mean TC grid based, TC absolute markers, etc...

Sure Live would largely benefit from at least a simple set of features like frame-based grid. I'm moving this to the FW forum.

A few things that helps for the time being:
- the bottom time ruler in Arrangement can be set to frames (just right-click it and choose what you need)
- you can easily find M4L devices that display fps
- the same for markers
- with some maths you can set e.g a 25fps grid by setting the grid to 1/32th with a tempo of 187.5bpm

Also, if you have an account on Live's beta testing platform, Centercode, you can vote for Suggestions and help showing some love for the topic.
