2. In the Project Setup dialog, click Get Frame Rate 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 reect 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.
Thumbnail Cache Files
For every imported video, le Cubase automatically creates a thumbnail cache le.

Manually Generating Thumbnail Cache Files
You can manually generate thumbnail cache les. This is necessary if a thumbnail cache le could
not be generated during import because the folder is write-protected, or because you have
edited the le with an external video editing application.
PROCEDURE
Do one of the following:
In the Pool, right-click the video le and select Generate Thumbnail Cache.
In the Project window, right-click the video event, and select Media > Generate
Thumbnail Cache.
NOTE
Refreshing an already existing thumbnail cache le can be done only from within the Pool.
RESULT
The thumbnail cache le is generated in the background so that you can continue working with
Cubase.
Preparations for Video Playback
You can play back imported video les from within Cubase by using the transport controls.
For this to work, you must activate and set up a video output device.
IMPORTANT
Your graphics card must support OpenGL 2.0 or higher.
