Video Playback, Import, and Export
Video files play in the Video view in real time as your project plays. You can
also view your video on an external DV device connected to an IEEE 1394
port (“FireWire”).
The File-Import-Video command lets you include the following video file
types in your project:
• AVI (also called Video for Windows)
• MPEG
• Windows Media Video
•QuickTime (.
MOV files only)
Note: some .
MOV and .AVI files contain no video. You can’t import these files
with the File-Import-Video command. You must use the File-Import-
Audio command instead, and set the Files of Type field to All Files.
The File-Export-Video command lets you export your audio tracks and
your imported video as the following file types:
• AVI (also called Video for Windows)
• Windows Media Video
•QuickTime
SONAR also has a Video Thumbnails pane at the top of the Track view,
which shows individual frames of your video at different places in your
project (See Using the Video Thumbnails Pane for more information).
You open the Video view by using the Views-Video command. The Video
view displays the Now time (as in the Big Time view) and the video itself.
