21.2.2 The Video Window
The Video Window in the Arrangement View.
The Video Window is a separate, floating window that always remains above Live’s main win-
dow. It can be dragged to any location you like, and it will never get covered up by Live. You
can toggle its visibility with a command in the View menu. The Video Window can be resized
by dragging its bottom right-hand corner. The size and location of this window are not specific
to the Set, and will be restored when you open a video again. The video can be shown in full
screen (and optionally on a second monitor) by double-clicking in the Video Window. [ALT](PC)
/ [ALT](Mac) double-click in the Video Window to restore it to original size of the video.
Movies with Partial Tracks
In the QuickTime file format, the audio and video components do not have to span the entire
length of a movie; gaps in playback are allowed. During gaps in video, Live’s Video Window
will display a black screen; gaps in audio will play silence.
21.2.3 Clip View
Soundtrack composers will want to note the Tempo Master option in Live’s Clip View. When
scoring to video, video clips are usually set as tempo masters, while audio clips are left as tempo
slaves. These are, therefore, the default warp properties of clips in the Arrangement View. In this
scenario, adding Warp Markers to a video clip defines “hit points“ that the music will sync to.
Note that a video clip’s Warp switch needs to be activated in order for the clip to be set as the
tempo master.
