As long as they are not trying to access the same resources (instruments, serial ports, files, etc), there is no problem.
Seems like a silly question, because everybody is already doing it. If you look at the task manager of windows, there are probably hundreds of programs and services that are running at the same time as your LabVIEW program. More importantly, you can even run many different LabVIEW programs at the same time. Even a single LabVIEW program can run multiple things truly in parallel if you have multiple CPU cores.
How well this works depends of course on your programming skills. A poorly written "CPU burner" program that tries to also use all available memory does not play well with other demanding programs. I suggest to just try it and come back to ask more specific questions if you run into bottlenecks.

With labview i am controlling the movements of a couple of motors.
Now i would like to film the movements with an other program, is it possible to do this? (with one computer
So what are you actually trying to do? Have LV controls motors and some other program, as Fraps or OBS film the desktop to record it? That's easy, just run the programs. 🙂

Of course if you need to synchronize the stepper functions to the movie frame rate, things get significantly more complicated, but I don't think that's what you need.
