Nope. But check this. 3rd party software Just Add Music, going beta in the next fortnight. Everything I wanted and MUCH MUCH more...

L7 video is arrange view only but with .mov export and you can still warp video. no video FX, nothing fancy.

ahhhh shitfarts!!!
I'm the last person to carry the microsoft flag but switching platforms is something I don't want to do. I've noticed the max/msp crowd is largely mac too, grumble grumble...
/puts on anti-Macfanboy ear protection. I know I know I know...

Mac mini is cheap but underpowered for doing a lot of pro audio work, especially high track counts and lots of plugins, and double especially running audio and video programs at the same time. Ideally you'd want a MacPro quad core Tower with 8GB ram minimum and shitloads of HDD space !!
Agree tonedeft, that JAM is hardly a great solution when it's only available on Macs. Just posted a similar comment in the 'Live's Missing Features' thread.

As I understand it, JAM can only do what it does because of Core Image built into OSX.

NOT gloating. Microsoft will come up with something equivalent eventually, and then people will write apps for it...

max/msp/jitter + Live w/OSC
a max object* that outputs a Beat Repeat's actions
send those actions to jitter to interact with video
output jitter to the Live video window.
*what if every track/scene/effect anything you add creates a patch on the fly, then you create an object with that name and Bob's your father's brother.

JAM looks so exciting that I might have to consider buying a Mac just to run it. The live possibilities are enormous so it will have to be a laptop.
What do you think would be the minimum spec/model to run both Ableton & JAM on one machine without problems?[/quote]

We're going to a Apple testing lab next week to work out the minimal Specs for JAM . But the program was built to run perfectly on a Macbookpro core 2 duo, so if you are thinking about getting a mac the latest Macbook pro would fly with Ableton and JAM.

I assume this means you'll also be checking JAM and Live on the same computer

JAM works on the same computer that Live is working on. I think you may be refer to a few demos i did using two computers (Midi networking). This was mainly to see if it was possible and easier for us to debugging. we would not expect people to use JAM on one computer and live on another, there is no need if you are running a intel system.
