Adopting the Project Frame Rate
To ensure that the time display of Cubase corresponds to the actual frames in the video, you
must set the project frame rate to the frame rate of the imported video
le.
PREREQUISITE
The frame rate of the imported video le differs from the project frame rate.
PROCEDURE
1.
Select Project> Project Setup.
2.
In the Project Setup dialog, click Get Frame Rate from Video.
3.
Click OK.
RESULT
If Cubase supports the frame rate of the video, the project frame rate is adopted to it. If
needed, the project start time is automatically adjusted to reect the change in frame rate.
For example, if the project frame rate is switched from 30 fps to 29.97 fps, the project start
time is adopted so that all the events in the project remain at the same positions in relation
to real time.
NOTE
If you want the project start time to remain the same, you must manually change it back. In
this case, you must snap the video event to the timeline to ensure proper positioning and
synchronization within the project.
Thumbnail Cache Files
For every imported video le, Cubase automatically creates a thumbnail cache le.

Manually Generating Thumbnail Cache Files
You can manually generate thumbnail cache les. This is necessary if a thumbnail cache le
could not be generated during import because the folder is write-protected, or because you have
edited the le with an external video editing application.
PROCEDURE
Do one of the following:
In the Pool, right-click the video le and select Generate Thumbnail Cache.
In the Project window, select the video event and select Media> Generate Thumbnail
Cache.
