Hi all,
I stopped using Live many years ago (at v7) - but now someone in our team who uses Live needs to work to picture, so I'm doing some research.
Is it now possible to practically sync Live sessions to movie files? I'm not talking about master-slave syncing for video playback. This is about film scoring.
Can Live "spot" (as in ProTools) or "move to recorded position" (as in Logic) audio to specific SMPTE positions? Can I set timecode to specific bars like it's possible in the big DAWs? Does Live write SMPTE into the exported audio so that it snaps to the correct position?
Or is it still the case that I have to manually set up locators, tempo and time signature changes in order to work to picture?
Best,
Hans

One more try with a bump...
But I guess the answer is, that Live can't really do that...

This explicitly states Live cant sync to SMPTE or generate it. To me, not syncing pretty much implies 'dynamic' (on playback) or 'static' (to a time point) syncing, ie not using SMPTE as a time reference at all. That pretty much makes it a 'no' to your main three questions, I think.

Yes, I had read that document too and thought, maybe there is some way under the hood how people are making it work...
I guess stemming and re-editing to picture in another DAW is the practical way to make conforming to new cuts work.

Not come across any reference to anyone using Live like that, sorry. I wonder if it -could- maybe be done with some custom M4L; I just dont think it -has-.
