Integrating video into live performances with Ableton Live and Jitter

Guitarist and electronic musician Christopher Willits continues his monthly series from SoundArts studio. In this episode, he explains how to integrate video footage in with live performances using Ableton Live and Max/MSP/Jitter.

Tune in once a month as Christopher shows us some of the ways he produces his own music, as well as the many cool things you can do with recording software. According to Christopher, "I simply want to excite people's imaginations and creative processes so they can more easily create the sounds and music and art they love."

" up meniscus fruits and we're back here at some arts studio. Today we're going to be talking about how you can integrate video and live performances specifically using it will to live some video within Hamilton. And also Heidi can control hitter he's able to minds -- many messages that's the big episodes or tenth episode. It being the tenth episode I think it's good to revisit with the mission of this whole project is here. My goal is to just share information that that I found to be really really helpful to me. And my creative process so. Want to take these things show them to use seat can then find your creative ways. How much easier it's now easier than ever to integrate video and audio processing on the computers so much faster. I've been doing this a lot more over the last couple years. Mom I make a lot of videos and make time experimental video work as well as. As audio work and finally I feel like I can I can bring this stuff together and live performance. Can -- using it will to live and in -- But you can also just he's able to live by itself so first of all I want to show how to do that and then we'll get into how you can integrate. It Wilton and also -- now let's enabled some live since last version you can actually integrate video you can -- is drag a video clip into the arrangement you. And then you can submit to a second monitor and then you're done. Now let me show you how that works okay so -- gonna do is make an audio track first of all who's gonna go over here. Can create and say insert new audio track not a specific video track just on -- and video and then the arrangement you. Down here at the bottom. We've got a new track named. 31 audio there's going to remain that. Not confused about problems video. They're going to be here and I'm gonna drag this out into the timeline. And there's an audio. In this track. It's gonna show opener so you get this floating video winner of the them pops named after. The video that you just -- and who's gonna drag that to a second monitor. So you going to different locations in the video. And then hit play. And you get your video on perform live at the -- a second monitor. Can double click on the video -- full screen. -- play again. So we -- video gun so I brought the Nvidia went over to the second -- double clicked and the we've got a full size of we have play. Then we -- action. And -- pretty simple it's not like the easy way to -- just drag a video and at worst of all the from -- all different for -- sciences. But you're just walked into a Linear flow -- this way. There's nothing you can change you can do some minor and it's here and there. It's just can be claimed back the video with the time line that's really static it's not really. There's on the anything created you can do with the Unionists at least not yet. And hopefully that's gonna change a lot so let's -- heightened concern integrating gender as well. So generous goodbye second sending four is max there's MSP. Not Maximus. Max MSP ME Jenner is the video side. Video processing side of at all so let's open up. Maximus. Not to sides launched Hamilton first you want to have a go -- first and then you launch Maximus. I think here's nexus -- open this patch up. This is the path that takes two different video streams. And we can do a lot of things to I'm. We can cut the different locations and from the video stream. And we can also switch which one is playing back now he's going to -- each track with an able -- then we can send -- any information out to Maximus. And we can do this. And our outputs on via -- track. We got I midi midi track here and that he looked on here on the outputs and it's an end you may need to do. And I can choose Macs and win max and miss. Rewire this is just an application connections going on here so we've got Macs and a -- ones that. And then in gender we have a couple objects that don't want to -- we've got mini info. Very important objects. In the -- device in this way. Maybe info is going to you so menu. So you menu. This human you have showing all the that different places that we have many we've got our interface to get the trigger finger. You've got Macs with you one -- will you set up an able and Cinemax this -- who want to make sure that that's selected. So once we -- Maximus. We can see any notes that are coming into. Maximus. So we can set up like let's say. You know and is lost a case so with this many track that we haven't. Able to live I created. Anonymity that you can create new mini clip just by double clicking an empty clips up. And I've put a couple different opinion this is. Four different G three notes. And this is just occupying distance of one -- had to compete. Want to show you how we're getting new information very simply. From Hamilton Jennifer's. So G three when I had planned here."

" Comes up and -- then as notes 67. We are able to enemy. -- Mean he's all 83 instead because its number 69. And doesn't really matter what number of user what -- means. But we just have to know what noted is I've got this little number box coming -- the note and it's showing you what -- we've seen in the room and and then we can music cool object called select the -- 67. So anytime we get the number 67. Then a -- and -- message happens in -- and then we can send that to do. Tons of different stuff so. It was playing. It's been founded in -- because we had been sent up there so that things are hitting the random objects. -- these random objects to be the duration and -- of these quicktime movies loaded. And then just a random frame is being triggered get a random objects. Creating those numbers and then these are going to offer -- message. The frame messages thing going to islands that dot quicktime movie object. And this is where we've loaded the quicktime movie you -- we've got the outputs of the quicktime movie. Going into a switcher we'll talk about this in the second. And then he's going to across Fay which is basically just being a black woman we're still. And then this comes out Q and did not -- video playing object. And that is treating this little window right here I can drag this window -- second monitor. Here. And then I sent -- this thing. Certainly hit escape it makes them full screen. So hit escape. And then makes a full screen on this monitor."

" Every time it gets a note. It's just triggering a different random frame this compelling movie this movie is a bunch it's a series of a bunch of a photo stills so make a lot of my video work from doing time lapse photography and different and high resolution pictures. Of anything lots of plans recently and then I make image sequences out of this. Which are basically some kind of quicktime movie and then I can jump to different locations within these in an image sequences so this is like. One way. -- very random way you can search in getting its getting some kind of like and determined to see happening with the video I'm not blocking any timeline here. It's gonna be jumping around to then all of these cuts are happening just from. There's no value so every time he gets -- at 67. Which it just keeps repeating every it's just like Eminem and."
