Playing back Video and Audio Files
Importing clips
You can play back your video and audio files after importing media into Media Express in any of
the following ways:
Double-click an empty area of the Media List.
Right-click an empty area of the Media List and select Import Clip from the contextual menu.
Go to the File menu, select Import and then Media Files.
Select the video and audio clip(s) you wish to import from the Open Video Clip dialog box. The clips will
appear in the Scratch area of the Media List. If you have created your own bins in the Media List, you can
drag the clips into the desired bin.
If you want to import media directly to a bin, right-click within the desired bin and select Import Clip from
the contextual menu.
If the files being imported do not match the frame rate and size of existing clips in the Media List, you will
be prompted to create a new project and to save the current project.
Media Express also supports the import of multichannel audio-only files recorded at 48kHz in the
uncompressed WAVE (.wav) and AIFF (.aif) formats.
Another way to import media is to use an XML file which has been exported from Final Cut Pro. Go to the
File menu, select Import and then Final Cut Pro XML. Open the desired XML and all the bins and media
from the Final Cut Pro project will appear in the Media List.
Playing back single and multiple clips
To play back a clip, double-click the clip in the Media List. Alternatively select the clip in the Media List and
press the space bar on your keyboard or the play button in the transport controls.
To play back multiple clips, select the clips in the Media List and then press the space bar on your keyboard
or the play button in the transport controls.
There are three ways to import clips into Media Express
You can use the transport controls to play, stop, jump to the next
or previous clip and loop playback of your clips.
