When a movie is opened in a project, the upper part of the inspector shows a closed Movie
area, which can be opened by clicking the disclosure triangle.
Movie playback follows the playhead position, and vice versa, in the Movie inspector area
and in the Movie window. Audio playback for the movie is only audible if either the Movie
inspector area or Movie window is open.
Note: You will need a fast processor to ensure smooth movie playback. If you want to
record and edit your own QuickTime movie from a video recorder or digital camera, you
may need specialized hardware.
Open a Movie window in Logic Pro
Do one of the following:
Choose File > Movie > Open Movie (or use the corresponding key command, default
assignment:Option-Command-O).
Open the Movie pop-up menu in the global Movie track header, then choose Open
Movie.
Click any position on the Video track with the Pencil tool.
Click the Media button in the control bar, then click the Movies button and choose the
movie file.
The movie opens in the floating Movie window, in its correct aspect ratio.
Note: Only one QuickTime movie can be opened in a project. If you use the Open Movie
command in a project that already contains a movie, a Movie window reopens with the
same video clip. This is particularly useful if you want to open the video clip in a different
screenset. If you choose the command while the Movie window is open, a dialog appears,
allowing you to choose a new movie file.
