that they are in a lower resolution, i. e. the pictures are not as clear as when they are
calculated. When the processes that rely heavily on the computer CPU are finished,
the frames are automatically recalculated, i. e. the program automatically switches
between realtime calculation of the pictures and using the cache file.
NOTE
There are situations where no thumbnail cache file can be generated, e. g. if you
import a video file from a folder that is write-protected. If you have access to the host
folder at a later stage, you can generate a thumbnail cache file manually.
Manually Generating Thumbnail Cache Files
If no thumbnail cache file could be generated during import or if you have to
“refresh” a thumbnail cache file of a certain video file, because the file has been
edited with an external video editing application, you have the possibility to generate
the thumbnail cache file manually.
To create a thumbnail cache file manually, you have the following possibilities:
• In the Pool, right-click on the video file that you want to create a thumbnail
cache file for and select the “Generate Thumbnail Cache” option from the
context menu.
A thumbnail cache file is created, or, in case there already existed a thumbnail
cache file for the video file, it is “refreshed”.
• In the Project window, open the context menu for the video event, and select
“Generate Thumbnail Cache” from the Media submenu.
• Open the Media Menu and select “Generate Thumbnail Cache”.
NOTE
• “Refreshing” an already existing thumbnail cache file can be done only from
within the Pool.
• The thumbnail cache file is generated in the background so that you can
continue working with Cubase.
Playing Back Video
Video is played back together with all other audio and MIDI material, using the
Transport controls.

IMPORTANT
• For playing back video files, you must have QuickTime 7.1 or higher installed
on your computer. There is a freeware version and a “pro” version, which
offers additional video conversion options. The player engine is the same in
both versions, so for mere playback in Cubase there is no need to purchase
the “pro” version.
