Video Loops for Use with External Display
planned
ultracello
Description:
Add support for synchronized video loops that can be triggered alongside audio clips and displayed on an external screen (e.g. via HDMI or AirPlay).
Problem:
Currently, Loopy Pro offers no native way to integrate visual content. For performers who want to combine looping audio with live visuals (e.g. VJ-style video clips, synced animations, or ambient visuals), this creates a limitation. External tools are required to run video separately, making sync and control less reliable and harder to manage during a live performance.
Proposed Solution:
Implement support for attaching video files to clips or scenes, with playback triggered in sync with the clip’s timeline. Features could include:
- Fullscreen output to external displays (HDMI, USB-C, AirPlay, etc.)
- Start/stop video playback tied to audio clip state
- Looping or one-shot video options
- Basic video controls: opacity, scaling, fade in/out
- Possibly timeline-based automation or binding for live control
Benefits:
- Enables audio-visual performances directly within Loopy Pro
- Reduces need for third-party video playback tools
- Enhances stage presence and immersion for solo performers
- Offers creative possibilities for ambient visuals, storytelling, or branding
Examples:
- Triggering a looped visual animation alongside a bassline
- Projecting synced lyrics or background textures while playing live
- Creating a fully self-contained audio-visual setup using just Loopy Pro and a projector

Add A Video Loop Function

Would love to be able to add short video (with audio) clips into the Loopy Pro workflow. Would need to be able to edit start and end points and sync with the project, perhaps send video clips to a second monitor. Fred Again incorporates video clips/loops into his live sets. This would be a game changer. See link attached. https://youtu.be/4iQmPv_dTI0

This would be so dope!! I've been wanting to sequence video clips like the Visual Synth app or the OP-Z and being able to do it within Loopy Pro would be a big deal for me.
