I’ll try to do more with this in coming weeks. But on the Mac, Videosync is a compelling offering.

Honestly, this plus an M1 Mac seem a perfect live-streaming and music video-making machine. (Aw, V4!)īut let’s just say that again – you can use video as Clips in Session View, and you can play, blend, and automate multiple video streams in Arrangement View. The design of video effects is really elegant – and even feels a bit like working with some of our favorite hardware video mixers. Native Apple Silicon support (not for Live itself yet, but for this).‘Audio from’ and ‘Audio to’ audio routing.

Simpler for video with a new UI and performance optimization.

Arrangement View – complete with mute/disable clips, comping (whaaaat?) with video clips, and cursor integration.

I’m actually keen to give this a go on an Apple Silicon Mac mini, as it seems like the right tool for the job even without native builds of Live yet. Videosync 1.0 is also updated to integrate with Live 11. Plus there’s a slick UI for Simpler, complete with a video frame preview. Speaking of things you wish Live could do seamlessly, the big breakthrough in Videosync 1.0 is you can use video clips in Arrangement View. Plus there’s integration with external input and output which could make it indispensable on live streams, recording music videos, or (when we all reopen safely, someday) audiovisual live performance. But they do what you probably wish Ableton Live did already – let you treat video, 3D, and visual effects the same way as you do MIDI, patterns, and audio.

Those devices look like Simpler and Live’s audio/MIDI effects, down to even arrangement and knobs. The heart of Videosync is some elegant instruments and effects. What if Simpler supported video in the same UI – now even with a preview – and had the usual rhythmic features? But Videosync has some unusually deep integration options. Of course, since these operate as Devices, you might even benefit from having several of these tools and using the one that best suits the job. That’s no surprise, given that Max’s deep visual modular engine, Jitter, is fully available inside Live to developers. There are now a few competing tools that let you add visuals to Ableton Live (see below).
