Helpful tool if you work with Video in Sonar

Hey all,
   I sometimes do Scoring work in Sonar because I like the workflow better than DP - but am often lamenting a loss of flexibility that comes with using MediaFoundation or Directshow (SMPTE offsets and video formats). I just started testing out this piece of software that is a MIDI Time Code video slave. If you've ever been frustrated by the limitations of Media Foundation, check this out:

All you need is some way to loop MIDI back. In my case, I went out of one interface and into another. But you can also do it with software. Includes support for network MIDI transport, multiple displays, etc.
 
Handy for problems like "I want to start my music at measure 1, but halfway through the video", which requires switching to Directshow if done in Sonar. Or "I want to start my music before the video".
 
It's not free, and there's no affiliation here, just hope someone else finds it helpful. Seems to work well so far.
 
Cheers,
Mike
