Attaching videos to songs

[tpieples]

I'm a novice Bandhelper needing to know if we can "somehow" attach videos to songs so they'll play simultaneously with the music. If so, where can I read up on this fantastic feature? Thanks!

Yes, you can attach videos to songs:

Then you could start a video and a recording at the same time using a single app control action:

I have seen problems when you play a video and audio simultaneously and the video file uses a different audio format than the audio file. So I recommend creating video files that have no audio track, if you intend to play them in sync with a separate audio file.

Arlo was VERY helpful with advising how to ATTACH a video to a song. That works flawlessly! 
However, I'm unable to control the audio and video files with a single click of the speaker icon.
This may have to do with my setup: I'm using a MacBook Pro to operate Bandhelper and connected to a Yamaha MG12XU board via a standard USB B (printer) cable. I want to use the same MacBook Pro connected to a projector via an HDMI cable to display a video relating to each song.
I now understand this is something Bandhelper CAN do. But, after attaching several videos as directed (as Documents), the videos don't launch with the audio. The videos start using the document icon, but they don't launch using the speaker icon to start the audio. I also selected PLAY VIDEO under the "Shared Automation Track" in the Edit Screen. What am I missing? THANK YOU!

The recording button doesn't affect videos and the document button doesn't affect recordings.

Instead of clicking those buttons, you can start a video and a recording at the same time by assigning those app control actions to the same trigger:
