Import Video File dialog
SONAR's Import Video File dialog lets you include an AVI, MPEG, or
QuickTime video in your project. This video is shown in real time as your
project plays.
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.
If the Video view is the active window, you can now use keyboard shortcuts
to advance by a frame or a frame increment. The +/-, and left/right arrow
keys move forward/backwards by a single frame. If the control key is
pressed, then the frame increment value is used (the default is 5 frames)
Alternatively you can use the [ and ] keys to seek by the frame increment.
See Changing the Frame Increment.
Commands in the Video view's 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 project's video and digital audio data
can be saved together in a new AVI file with File-Export Video command.
For more information, see Preparing Audio for Distribution.
Note: The project's video file is saved in the project by reference only; the
actual video data remains in the original file.
Use these options in the Video File dialog box:
