Video Playback
Pro AudioÕs Insert-Video File command lets you include an AVI, MPEG
or QuickTime video in your project. This video is shown in real time as
your project plays.
You open the Video view by choosing View-Video. The Video view
displays the current time (as in the Big Time view) and the video itself.
The display in the Video view is synchronized with the Now time, giving
you convenient random access to the video stream. This makes it easy to
align music and digitized sound to the video.
Commands in the Video viewÕs pop-up menu let you set the time display
format, the size and stretch options for the video display, the video start
and trim times, and other options. Your projectÕs video and digital audio
data can be saved together in a new AVI Þle with Tools-Export Video to
AVI. For more information, see ÒPreparing Audio for DistributionÓ on
page 9-29.
