The metro is not so hot in Pd either. Good luck.
[metro] in Pd is hot enough to play in sync with a phasor~, see attached patch.
Media handling APIs have internal clocks and it is best to use those for the most efficient playback. It is basically impossible to sync Pd or Max to one of these APIs without some tricks (GEM) or having the API drive the app (Max/Jitter).
Syncing Pd's clock to other clocks of course is a difficult issue. I actually was more trying to illustrate how hot Pd's [metro] is compared to Max's [metro], which AFAIK has a lowest period of 20 msec, while Pd can go as low as 1 msec and actually could go even lower if you remove the limit in the source code (or build a metro-clone with [delay]). Even with periods that small Pd's [metro] stays tight compared to audio objects. But yes, that still doesn't make it a good choice when playing or recording video.
