Movies
You can use Pro Tools to import QuickTime
movies and audio (such as MP3s), perform audio
post production tasks, and export the finished
product as a new QuickTime movie.
About QuickTime
QuickTime is digital video technology designed
to produce compact video files for multimedia
use.
Using QuickTime Movies in
Pro Tools
Pro Tools allows you to import QuickTime mov-
ies into your Pro Tools sessions.
Once imported into Pro Tools, a QuickTime
movie is displayed in its own Movie track in the
Edit window, and in a floating Movie window.
This floating window can be viewed on a second
monitor with appropriate video hardware (in-
cluding FireWire output of QuickTime DV).
With a QuickTime movie in the session,
Pro Tools serves as a fast, random-access visual
reference for “sweetening” the movie by adding
sound effects, music, foley, dialog, or other au-
dio.
Pro Tools provides precise, frame-accurate audio
and video synchronization. This means you can
use your Pro Tools system as an off-line audio
editing system, leaving the video editing suite
free for video editing.
