Ableton Live as Video Sequencer

You can MIDI sequence Live's locators to jump between frames, thereby giving the effect of animation. Sprites/frames are drawn using blank MIDI clips; unfortunately, the resolution is limited by the Y-axis size, as Live doesn't allow you to resize that. Live's skins are somewhat tied to MIDI already, so you can "ride" the skins field to change background colors (it updates on midi notes on(?) Audio track is made of samples of video games, trails effect at end achieved via hacked Live skin. Sets/skins available for you to toy with at my myspace: myspace.com/cousinthrockmorton

explanation: draw a frame using blank midi clips in the arrangement view. Drop a locator.  Assign a midi note to that locator. MIDI sequence those notes along with your other MIDI tracks.

I just thought this was decent at first, and then I understood that you're doing it in the arrangement view.

Holy shit, great work!

how is live doing this? Kind of cool demo, but where is the explanation?
