282 Working with Video

Setting a Video Clip as Tempo Master.

Remember from the Audio Clips, Tempo, and Warping chapter (page 117) that, although any

number of warped Arrangement clips can have the Tempo Master option activated, only the

bottom-most, currently playing clip is the actual tempo master.

This also means that it is possible for video clips that are not the current tempo master to become

warped, resulting in warped video output in the Video Window.

Warp Markers

While dragging a Warp Marker belonging to a video clip, you will notice that the Video Win-

dow updates to show the corresponding video frame, so that any point in the music can be eas-

ily aligned with any point in the video clip.

Since Live displays a movie ﬁle’s embedded QuickTime markers, they can be used as convenient

visual cues when setting Warp Markers.

21.3 Matching Sound to Video

In Live, it takes just a few steps to get started with video. Let’s look at a common scenario —

matching a piece of music to edits or hit points in a video:

1. Make sure that Live’s Arrangement View is visible. Your computer keyboard’s [Tab] key will

toggle between the Session View and Arrangement View.
