Ableton Codex Options Mac Video
May 07, 2018 Learn how to use video in both session view and arrangement view, in Ableton Live! Video in Live 10 has been a massive pain in the a. Ableton 9 live suite. for me: (Win 7 64 bit with Nvidia card). So much so, that I have sometimes been forced back to Live 9 32 bit just to be able to view a video in Live. Am i the only one to use live to work with video? So i'm triyng to find the best video codec, in order to have a good framerate in live. I tried to use the DV PAL codec wich is fully supported by mac and get a poor result something like 8 FPS a seconde instead of 25 I tried few others codec without success (MPEG-4 like) If anybody has any idea. Jan 09, 2017 I've seen a lot of people having issues with exporting high quality videos in Ableton (Myself included), so I wanted to share the settings that I found. It doesn't seem to be 100% like the. Mac: on Mac, the required external codec for MP3 files comes with the operating system, which means that those formats behave in Live like natively supported file formats. M4A/MP4 MP4 is a container format for video and audio streams.
I've been sent an .mp4 video file I need to score to.
I've converted the mp4 to .mov in Handbrake.
The video plays back perfectally on the computer where Live is installed using the Windows Media Player, so the file must be OK and the needed codec installed, right? Nope.Video will not import into Live and gives the error message: 'xxxx.mov could not be read, it may be corrupt or not licensed'
Went here for advice:

I'm running Live as the Administrator
I've installed the codecs suggested by Ableton here: http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/download.php
Note: CoreAVC 3.0.1 from CoreCodec also suggested appears no longer available and the link doesn't work.
To test that it's not the file, I've tried a few other .mov files, some from my wife's iPhone, some from my Mac, some from my PC, and they all play back fine in their associated media players on the same PC Live is installed on, but none of them will load into Live.
Nothing works. I've got a deadline approaching, and I've spent almost the entire day trying to get the video to play back in live.
