4. Select the desired import options as follows:
• Select a start location from the LOCATION drop-down list.
• If you wish to import audio embedded in a QuickTime movie, select
IMPORT AUDIO FROM FILE.
5. Click OK.
Pro Tools will import the movie and display it in its own Video track in the
Edit window as well as in a floating Video window. The first frame of the
movie will be automatically placed at the selected start time in your session,
unless otherwise specified during import. If you chose to import audio, you
will be prompted to choose a destination folder for the audio file. After
you’ve selected the desired folder, the audio will appear in a new Audio
track in the session.
Depending on the setting of your Video track view, the movie will display in
the Edit window as blocks or as a picture-icon (picon) “thumbnail”
overview of the frames of the movie it represents. The Video track will show
greater or lesser detail depending on your current zoom level in the Edit
window—the closer in you zoom, the greater the number of individual
frames that are displayed in the Video track; the farther out you zoom, the
fewer the number of individual frames that are visible.
The Video track behaves much like a Pro Tools audio or MIDI track in that
you can move the Video clip with the Grabber or other editing tools. This
allows you to offset the movie to any start point.
Only one video file can be associated with a standard Pro Tools session at a
time. If you want to import a different movie into a session, repeat the
preceding steps. The new movie will replace the original in the session.
Pro Tools HD software lets you use multiple Video tracks in your session
and add multiple video files and video clips to each Video track. However,
only one Video track can be active at any time.
The Video track will take its name from the imported video file. Video tracks
can subsequently be renamed, in the same manner as other tracks in your
session. (See the “Naming Tracks” section in Lesson 3 for details.)
