@johlu515 :

You set a marker in Live and then map a MIDI note to that marker. You can map MIDI notes to lots & lots of markers, then use a MIDI track (or keyboard) to select them. In the video, whatever drum machine I was using at the time (I think an MPC1k) just had the pads mapped out to different pictures; tapping the pads let you select the picture/video in real time.

It's the same trick as in "video MIDI harp guitar", more or less.

@db3ll THANKS A LOT MAN!

Seriusly, I've just made a video manually, and it was painful...

Now I know how to do it the 'quick' way next time... thank you!

@teknikaldiffikulty

It's a been a while since I've done anything with this, but I think I was using two versions of Live (one for audio and one for video) when I did it. I'm not sure if you could do it within one version of Live.

Hopefully that helps, and thanks for the kind words.

so using the rack chains you could fire images.
