You can’t use any instruments in VEPro that require sync with the transport.2.

To do this, in Pro Tools Peripherals Setup, under Machine Control, you'd uncheck MIDI Machine Control Remote (Slave) and check MIDI Machine Control (Master), using ipMIDI Port 1 with an ID of 127. Then, in Logic MIDI Sync Project Settings, under MIDI Machine Control (MMC), you'd uncheck Transmit MMC and check Listen to MMC Input. However, I couldn't get Logic's playhead to respond to moving Pro Tools's playhead the same way as I was able to get the playhead in Pro Tools to respond to moving Logic's playhead when Logic was sending MMC and Pro Tools listening. If you figure out how to get Logic to respond to Pro Tools's MMC, please let me know in the comments!You may notice it's not perfectly in sync while playing, but it takes time to send the timecode information from one program to the other. They usually stay within a frame of each other, though, which is pretty good.This method is not recommended for a 2-computer sync or sending/printing audio on 1 or 2 computers. It's mainly for video sync. There's a known timing issue with ipMIDI that makes printing audio from one computer to another unreliable.

For this reason, in VEPro's Preferences, under Instances, you can turn Multiprocessing up pretty much as high as you want (you may want to keep maybe 1 core available for the OS). When you use VEPro locally (on the same machine), you need to keep other threads available for your DAW and other operating system tasks you may have going on.If you don't have access to the router for some reason, you can actually create a 2-computer LAN with one ethernet cable going between the computers. Most modern computers will be able to figure it out with a regular ethernet cable, but if your computer is old enough, you might need to use a crossover cable (or regular cable with crossover adapter) instead.0:00 Intro0:12 Router settings2:53 Server setup3:07 Client setup3:59 Workflow notes4:45 Announcements

Experiment and see which works better for your workflow.When I say "on 2 machines," what I mean is that you're running your DAW on the client and you're running VEPro on a server (which is dedicated for this task). That buffer setting in the plugin will add to the buffer you have already set in Logic's settings.Special thanks: Bill, Nathan, Patrick, JB0:30 Skip intro
How to Sync Video and Audio in Logic (and avoid the negative bar bug!)

I demonstrate, in Logic Pro X, a couple situations you might run into when you need to sync a separate audio file (or just one that has already been extracted from that video previously) to your video, including a glitch involving negative bars. I hope this video is not needed in the future and that Logic fixes this bug, but until then, you need to know how to deal with it.48 Hour Film Project video excerpt used with permission.0:07 Skip intro
