Scrubbing Video
You can scrub video events, i. e. play them back forwards or backwards at any
speed. This is done by clicking in the Video Player window and moving the mouse
to the left or to the right. You can also use the Scrub controls on the Transport panel
or a jog wheel on a remote controller for scrubbing video events.

Editing Video
Video clips are played back by events just as audio clips are.
You can use all the basic editing operations on video events, just as with audio
events. You can take a single event and copy it many times for the creation of mix
variations. A video event may also be trimmed using the event handles to remove a
countdown for instance. Furthermore, you can edit video clips in the Pool.
It is not possible to fade or crossfade video events. Furthermore, you cannot use the
Draw, Glue, and Mute tools with a video event.
NOTE
Windows only: If you find that you are unable to edit a video file copied from a CD,
this might be due to the fact that files copied from CD are write-protected by
default. To remove the write-protection, in the Windows Explorer, open the
Properties dialog and deactivate the “Read-Only” option.

Extracting Audio From a Video File
If a video file contains audio, the audio stream can be extracted.
As always when importing audio material, a dialog is displayed allowing you to
select different import options.
There are several ways to extract audio from a video file:
• By activating the “Extract Audio From Video” option in the Import Video
dialog.
• By using the “Audio from Video File” option on the Import submenu of the File
menu.
This will insert an audio event starting at the project cursor position on the
selected audio track. If no audio track is selected, a new one will be created.
