Setting Up Video
Cubase plays back video files in a number of formats, such as AVI, QuickTime, or MPEG.
QuickTime is used as the playback engine. Which formats can be played back depends on the
video codecs that are installed on your system.
There are several ways to play back video, for example, without any special hardware, using a
FireWire port, or using dedicated video cards.
If you plan to use special video hardware, install it and set it up as recommended by the
manufacturer.
NOTE
Before you use the video hardware with Cubase, we recommend that you test the hardware
installation with the utility applications that were provided with the hardware and/or the
QuickTime Player application.
