Playing video clips in the session view has been a long time requested feature. Finally, It’s possible thanks to Max for Live and developer Robert Jarvis.
Robert aka Zeal has developed a package of Max for Live devices called Vizzable. And now in version 2 it really feels like a solid, complete video tool package for Ableton Live.
Vizzable gives us a collections of devices to create a modular video environment in Ableton Live. Meaning that we can mix and match and Input Output or FX device together for crazy video performance.
Remember that this entire package is a collection of Max for Live devices so you can map the parameters to your MIDI controller, automate them and even use racks to jump between different effects.
