Usine HollyHock 4 - How do I sync a video to the master clock?

[Sam_K]

Hello,

I am hoping I might be able to find someone here with a bit of experience with Usine Hollyhock (HH) who might be able to help me figure out how to do this.

I want to use HH to control a video/light show for a band on stage, synced to LTC Timecode coming out of Ableton Live. Getting the two apps to sync was easy, In the Device panel I selected the audio input reciveing the LTC and check "receive linear timecode" in the properties box. when I press play in Ableton Live, the Master Clock at the top of HH runs and is at exactly the same time. Excellent.

Now I want to have a Video Player, in which I've loaded my backdrop video, and I want the playback of that video to be controlled by the Master Clock. When the Master Clock plays, I want the video to play, and I want the play position aligned with the position of the Master Clock. This seems like a fairly simple request, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the video to anything but just free-play independent of the Master Clock.

So, as the title says, how do I get the video playback to be to synchronised with the master clock?

Many thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers

Firstly, welcome to the forum

Not trying to discourage you from asking, but HH is not a platform that seems to have much traction among KVR users. I'd definitely recommend trying over at the BrainModular (formerly Usine) forums:
