Video playing on an object (a kiosk, say). I have an FMOD emmiter on it that is playing the audio for the video. I want both to Start() as simultaneously as possible from first frame. Code?

You can access callbacks from events like FMOD\_STUDIO\_EVENT\_CALLBACK\_STARTING and FMOD\_STUDIO\_EVENT\_CALLBACK\_STARTED:

Event.GetTimelinePosition may also help with timing the event and/or video.
