Using Live to score a film?

Post by Naut.Sirius » Wed Apr 19, 2006 4:16 pm

Hi all,

I've just been asked to write a soundtrack for a friends short film and was wondering if there's anyway to view a mpg or similar (I can convert between formats easily) film file in Live in order to lock the sequence to the picture.

I can do this in Logic but it's much easier coming up with ideas in Live and it's more malleable for me so I hope to be able to use it for this.
