Replacing the Audio in a Video File
Once you have edited all audio and MIDI data to the video and created a final mix,
you will need to put the new audio back with the video. You can do this by
embedding the audio in another stream within the video container file.
PROCEDURE
1. Place the left locator at the start of the video file in Cubase. This will ensure
that your audio and video streams are synchronized.
2. Open the File menu and select the Audio Mixdown option from the Export
submenu to export the audio file you wish to insert into the video container file.
3. From the File menu, select “Replace Audio in Video File…”.
A file dialog opens prompting you to locate the video file.
4. Select the video file and click Open.
Next, you are prompted to locate the corresponding audio file.
5. Select the audio file and click Open.
The audio is added to the video file, replacing its current audio stream.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
Once the process is completed, open the video file in a native media player and
check for proper synchronization.
