PLEASE ADD VIDEO SUPPORT!!!!! PLEASE????!!!!!
Hey guys. I just can not use this DAW for any of my work since I need the ability to load a quicktime movie into my session and work against it. I have several colleagues who are in the same boat. We all love what you've done with Reaper, but without picture support on the Mac, we just can't switch over and use it. Do you have any idea if and when you will add video support? PLEASE!!!!! You've made a great DAW, but without video support, it's useless for any post production audio or scoring to picture, which is exactly what we do for a living. Thanks for all of your hard work. Great piece of software that just needs video support.
Best,
VS

The developers have stated that the video capabilities will be overhauled after 3.0 is released. They did not state whether or not the Mac version would be included in this overhaul, but since it has no video capability at this time, it can be assumed the answer is yes.
Do not forget that you can send out MTC with Reaper, and sync up a video player running on a spare machine for example (Chaingang is such a player). There is always that option, which to be honest is a lot safer to use. For now that may be a good option for you folks wanting to use Reaper on the Mac(or Windows for that matter) and have stable, reliable video playback synced correctly.

I have found Chaingang to be a royal pain... now a VST video plug would be downright handy...

Well,
this isn't a VST video plugin. But it *is* a ReWire-enabled video player that was designed to bring video to apps like Reason and Ableton Live, so even though Granted Software seems to have abandoned it, it might be worth a look.

Has anyone tried Xjadeo (and JackOSX) for this purpose? I gave it a spin a few days ago but while Jack and Xjadeo works fine on their own I can't get Reaper to to stop/start the playback in Xjadeo...
Probably just me who doesn't know how to do it, but it seems like a (free) solution if anyone could get it working.
Regards,

Integrated video is the only way this DAW will be useful for audio post to picture. You need the video to follow frame by frame as you nudge and job to really make it useful. I hope they add it! This is a great DAW apart from lack of picture support.

Oh yes ...

Absolutely.
Coming from a DP background, I am terribly missing this feature.
This is probably the only reason I am keeping a DP on my Mac at the moment.
Frame accurate sync is a must !

just to be clear - it has to work when the edit cursor is nudged - while jogging shuttling etc to be useful for scoring.

absolutely !
In DP, video playback even follows accordingly when you are drawing a midi note or even adjusting the lenght of it.
NEAT !

STILL NO VIDEO!!!! BUMMER!!!!!!!!!
Wow........... v3 looks really neat. No video support is really lame. I think I'm about to give up on Reaper as a hopeful DAW solution on Mac. It would be great to at least get some kind of time frame if the developer plans on adding video support to the Mac version at all.

yep ... I followed and tested the latest Reaper versions and I pretty quickly realized that video support, burn cd image and elastic-audio-ish features would be postponed.
Knowing the devs' agenda could help, it's true.
Now, I won't give up Reaper on Mac OSX but will switch to DP when video is the game ... which I just find awkward.
Let's be thankful for what we got and keep on banging the same drum.

IMO you should resist the temptation to add video support into Reaper directly. Making a software more complex than absolutely necessary will lead into maintenance hell and user frustration in the long term.
Apart from the timeline, music and video do not have much common data to share, so it would be more safe, robust and encomically rewarding to bundle a separate video player software with Reaper that has ReWire/MTC/SPP synch. It could even be run on a remote PC/Mac. Apart from the technical advantanges, this would also be a product that could be sold as a standalone utility to a much broader audience.
Just my 2ct

why not.
But, if you ever tried Digital Performer, you know that having that small video window sync'd with frame accuracy to your audio is just pure pleasure.
Whatever you adjust, a fade, a midi note length, etc. your video scrubs accordingly ... that rocks !

I absolutely agree. Everything you describe works fine via MTC/SMPTE synch to an external video player too. There are no limitations.
Keeping the video player separate from the DAW will just improve its mobility and robustness and much simplify development and maintenance (= better quality).

It's the advice I've given to many folks, splitting video playback from the main DAW. For composers that can make a lot of sense. For other post production folks that can sometimes be a good option.
Then there's the budget shrink, which means less time to set things up. Most people have gotten used to having accurate video playback in their DAW. It's inevitable for people to need this. There's no going back.
In the end even Reaper can be the optional video playback deck, once its video playback is solid and reliable.

Try Chaingang on another machine hooked up via midi over ethernet. A lot of folks are using that successfully.

Better Video support, oh, yes please!
Just after i discovered the joys of Reaper, I had a short "art" Film to Sound Design/mix & loved what i could do with the sound.
To me a major aspect of the audio+picture nature of "Film/TV", is the ability to place sounds tightly sunk to the moving image.
Tight sync is vital!
Oh, and no picture black-out when zoomed in! Please

I totally second that.
My current project was finalyzed in the client's Final Cut with myself exporting tracks on the go from my laptop ... very un-pro, un-practical, un-cool and un-un.
This really needs to change !

I have a running feature request regarding the video playback in Reaper. It is based on my experience with the *somewhat* working video playback currently availible on PC but I have just added to the request that video support be feature matched for Mac and PC. My apologies to any Mac users who read the Mac-less post and declined to vote because of this omission. I want to invite Mac users to add their support and concerns to this request.

Yes better video sync please. 90% of my machine's processing resources are not even being used when my video is lagging while I play -as I stated in my other thread.
Sync with an external video player with MTC is something I have never heard of, could be the answer to my prayers until reaper adds proper vid sync.

Bumping this!
Whilst fixing my pc I had to do a 30 sec art video thing and thought I'd use my college's macs (the advantage of being a teacher) but to my surprise the mac version doesn't even have basic video support so now I'm having to do it in logic instead.
What if one of the many devs here sorted one out that could be intergrated?
everyone who might use video in the future (which you never know..) you should all vote on the above thread link!

I have mentioned this elsewhere, but I'd really like to have video support in Reaper as well. Doesn't have to be very fancy, just as long as I am able to see a small compressed picture that stays in sync with the project.
I am now working on the score for a short film. Thank goodness that Sibelius - my main composition tool - does have video support, but when rendering the project in Reaper, I am really stumbling through the dark without the images. I am not a mickey mouser but I do put a lot of effort into synching the music and sound effects to picture, so have the picture present and synched is really essential to me.
Thanks!

There's hope, Padawans
Oh, and just to stumble upon a comment. I absolutely hate Sibelius for having video support. It's just additional bloat. For Gods sakes, my Photoshop opens faster than Sibelius!!

Frame accuracy and a decent video window would make us all happy, I guess !
