i would use the link protocol for this. install link from the package manager and depending on your needs use link.beat or link.phasor to sync your videos. you can also set the global transport clocksource to link for additional capabilities.

to offer more advice we will need more details about what you'd like to achieve.

I would like to sync video in max with external timecode, like MTC.
