Jack transport is used to sync software timing. A user can sync it to
a multitude of things. Theoretically a user can user denemo and
xjadeo[1] to produce film scores. xjadeo is a simple video player that
is controlled via midi MTC or jack transport. When the user has
transport enabled in their denemo preferences all she has to do is
hit play and the video will start rolling. When you hit stop in
denemo the video stops playing. More development will be needed to make
this a good workflow for this particular type of user. I will have to
try it out sometime to find would could make it more useful for the
user to this type of work. I think directives could be used to cue sound
effects or something.
