videoplayer for Ableton Live

Videoplayer is a Max for Live device that allows you to play videos in an external window in an Ableton Live liveset, simply by triggering MIDI clips. It also integrates visual effects: a blur effect, a video delay and a module for controlling brightness, contrast and color saturation.

It’s designed to be very easy to use, allowing you to add a visual dimension to your live performances without leaving Ableton Live and taking advantage of all its control and modulation tools.

By inserting this device in a MIDI Track, you will be able to launch videos simply by triggering clips you previously named with the video filename (video01.mov).

You want to loop the video ? Simply add the string "_LOOP" after the video name (video01.mov_LOOP), for example) and that's it.

This device also provides a small triple FX engine (Blur > Temporal Slide FX > Brightness/Contrast/Saturation).

Since you are inside Ableton Live, you can use its powerful tools to control and modulate the videoplayer parameters :

  • by assigning them to a MIDI controller.

  • by drawing envelopes in MIDI clips.

  • by assigning them to modulators such as a LFO or an Envelope Follower.

Bonjour Julien,

je viens de tester ton path, super! Mais je me demande s'il y a une solution/une piste pour que les films puissent être déclencher en mode écran arrangement?

Merci d'avance pour ta réponse

Michel
