Preparations for Creating Video Projects
Before you can start working with video in Cubase, some basic preparations must be made.
In Cubase, you may work with multiple video files of different formats on the same video track.
NOTE
For proper synchronization of audio and video events, make sure that the project frame rate
matches the frame rate of the video file.

Importing Video Files
If you have a compatible video file, you can import it into your project.
PROCEDURE
1. Select File> Import> Video File.
2. In the Import Video dialog, select the video file that you want to import.
3. Optional: Activate Extract Audio from Video to import any embedded audio streams.
4. Click Open.
RESULT
Cubase creates a video track with a video event. If Extract Audio from Video was activated, an
audio track with an audio event is positioned below the video track. The corresponding audio clip
is saved in the Pool Record folder.
NOTE
You can also import video files by dragging them from the MediaBay, the File Explorer/macOS
Finder and dropping them in your project. If you want Cubase to automatically extract the audio,
activate Extract Audio on Import Video File in the Preferences dialog (Video page).
