Importing Video into Pro Tools Using
Import Session Data
You can use the Import Session Data command
to import video from other Pro Tools sessions or
(with DigiTranslator 2.0) from an AAF or OMF
sequence. Any video files you import must have
the same video frame rate as the video files in
the session.

Region List to the Timeline

You can add QuickTime movies to the Timeline
by dragging and dropping directly from the Re-
gion List to a video track.
To add video files to a video track by dragging
them from the Region List:
1 Select one or more video files in the Region
List.
2 In any Edit mode, drag the selected video files
to a blank area in the Timeline (to create a new
video track) or an existing video track (to place
it within that track).
