Ableton Forum

Hi there,

I'm currently running Pro Tools 7 with Ableton Live 5 on two monitors. When I click on ableton the movie window and transport bar in Pro Tools disappear. It makes it very difficult to work to video. Anyone else having this problem??

thanks.

This is how protools works.
The only workaround is to get a dedicated video output system.
ie a canopus box if you have a mac.. and then play the video
out the firewire (if you have a pc you will need an Avid MOJO)

Protools will only display the movie window when it is in the Foreground.
Not in the background.
