DAW with video ?

[nebelfuerst]

I want to make some music for a given video.
The only DAW, which I own with video function seems to be old Samplitude X3.
Is there a better way to do it ?

All DAWs have a workflow for this, it used to be running something like my MTP A/V (Motu Midi Timepiece AV) with SMPTE code running to the VTR, so when you changed playhead position your 'tape' deck or etc would seek to and stay in sync with that timecode position. In the DAW era that came after, it was a similar workflow where you would import the movie in a correctly supported format, and it runs alongside the DAW in an open preview window.

In our era now, Ableton Live has native support for editing and remixing video (Max4Live components), people use Vegas for DAW usage (Vegas is a video editing app that inherited Acid 3/4 style workflows for the scoring portion of video work), Digital Performer (DP) and Nuendo are still king along with Sequioa (not Samp) for actual scoring work. But there are options in between at every price point.

What's your DAW of choice?
