Easiest way to run video output from Ableton for karaoke lyrics?

Post by therealthing89 » Thu Jun 03, 2021 4:01 pm

Hi! I have a few live band karaoke shows coming up where clients will join us on stage; all of our songs are programmed to the timeline in Ableton, and I wanted to know if there's a straightforward way to add lyric text as video output in my Set. I've never incorporated video in with Live, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

You can drag and drop video files into Ableton like any other file and have it output in the video window.

Great, thank you! I was hoping there was a plugin or M4L device that would generate video along the timeline in arrangement view; if anyone knows of a prompting tool like that, please drop it here :D
