Adopting the 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 file.
PREREQUISITE
The frame rate of the imported video file differs from the project frame rate.
PROCEDURE
1. Select Project> Project Setup.
2. In the Project Setup dialog, click Get 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 reflect 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.

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