I bought Live6 because it was the only program I could find that would play full screen video from a projector without that annoying taskbar thingy on the top of the screen. I was a PT user at the time. Needless to say, the PT rig is gone and Live is now my main DAW.

Without the video support I would have never purchased Live.

But I want cross fading video, transparency automation, and some basic color saturation controls. That would be freaking awesome!!

i used it the past couple days doing sound design for a couple animated films - it really saved my ass. works really fast, easy and stable.

i didnt crack the manual once - just dropped in the the arrangement and exported when finished.

was very glad i didnt have to spend time learning how to do that in Logic, FCP, etc...

I've used the video feature a few times but not for much.

The reason was that the way Live did warping was totally counter-intuitive to me where you moved the timeline instead of the audio.

Now with Live 8 (beta testing) the way it works will totally make warping Video far more intuitive to me and I'm looking forward to it.

Having video support in Live was fundamental primarily for users who want to score music to video. The "export" feature was fairly easy to add.

Now with max for live/jitter support... the possibilities will be insane with 0 dev effort ongoing from Ableton.

Stay tuned!

I would try it, but there is not a single .mov file on my music computer

although I have heard that it works very well for scoring

Considering that this product is called "Live", being able playback video during a gig I think is far more important than a step sequencer. There are many 3rd party step sequencers, but how can you third party video support?

i've used it for scoring to video, it's been a real lifesaver for me.

never used it and i cant remember ever seeing it featured in the improvements or whats new in Live when we ve gone from 6 to 7 or 7 to 8

so .. a quick newb question on the video function -

if you are djing from the session view or playing songs back from the arrangement - is it possible to drop a video into the arrangement and hook up a projector and screen the video at the same time as the music is playing?

i might even look up the vid section in the manual - i never have before

Nope, never used it. I just don´t need that feature.

BTW: good topic, always wondered about that myself

Never used it.
I would use it if it was capable of Arkaos type effects/triggering (M4L?) but even then I would need a seperate system for that so still no
