Per-song video memory
LTCast remembers the video file associated with each song in the setlist. When you switch songs during a show or rehearsal, the correct video loads automatically — no manual re-import needed for each song.
How assignment works
When you import a video while a song is loaded, that video's file path, file name, alignment offset and start timecode are saved as the video for that song. There is no save step: importing, auto-aligning, dragging the lane and nudging all update it as you go. The association is saved inside the .ltcast project file every time you save, and LTCast also keeps it on this computer between sessions.
To assign a different video, simply import a new one while that song is active. The new import replaces the previous assignment.
Automatic loading on song switch
When you switch to a different song in the setlist, LTCast automatically loads the video assigned to the new song in the background. If the new song has no assigned video, the Video Reference panel clears. This happens without interrupting playback or timecode output. The video sound mode (Mute / Both / Solo) also goes back to Mute on every song switch.
If the assigned video file cannot be loaded, a toast tells you why: Reference video not found: … — re-import to reconnect it when the file has moved or the show was transferred to a different computer, or a message that the video has no audio track. The song loads normally but without its video, and its association is kept, so you can re-import the file (or use Relink video…, which appears in the panel when a video cannot be played) to reconnect it.
Continuing a video across songs
When the song has no video yet but the previous song in the setlist has one, the dashed strip under the waveform offers Continue from previous. It loads the same video file into this song, offset so that it picks up where the previous song's video ended, with the same zoom and framing as before. Fine-tune it with the ◀ ▶ nudge buttons. This needs the previous song's length to be known.
Clearing the video
There is one ✕ button (Clear Video) at the right of the Video Audio row. It removes the video from the display and also deletes this song's video association, so switching away and back does not bring the video back, and the song no longer loads a video automatically. The video file itself is not deleted from disk. To use it again, import it again. (Switching songs clears the display too, but that keeps each song's association, which is how every song gets its own video back when you return to it.)
Project file storage
The per-song video data (file path and offset) is stored in the .ltcast project file. The video file itself is not embedded; it must remain accessible at the same file path on disk when the project is opened.
