I want to trigger playback from a specific spot in a movie, depending on which Ableton audio clip is active

Beginners

I have a single movie of about 6 minutes long. I’d like to be able to move around to different spots in the movie by selecting different audio clips in Ableton (Session View).

For instance, when the main musical theme is active in Ableton, I want to have the movie start playback from a specific point about halfway through the movie, and possibly loop that portion of the movie.

Thanks!

I figured it out. I can use a chopexec DAT, connect it to my CHOP channel, and edit the appropriate Python function, by turning it on in the DAT panel and then adding the ‘op(‘moviein1’).par.cue.pulse()’ under the function’s definition in the chopexec DAT’s text editor.
