Playing Back Video
625
A thumbnail cache file is created, or, in case there already existed a thumbnail cache
file for the video file, it is “refreshed”.
• In the Project window, open the context menu for the video event, and select “Generate
Thumbnail Cache” from the Media submenu.
• Open the Media Menu and select “Generate Thumbnail Cache”.
NOTE
• “Refreshing” an already existing thumbnail cache file can be done only from within the
Pool.
• The thumbnail cache file is generated in the background so that you can continue
working with Cubase.
Playing Back Video
Video is played back together with all other audio and MIDI material, using the Transport
controls.
IMPORTANT
•
For playing back video files, you must have QuickTime 7.1 or higher installed on your
computer. There is a freeware version and a “pro” version, which offers additional
video conversion options. The player engine is the same in both versions, so for mere
playback in Cubase there is no need to purchase the “pro” version.
•
You need a video card that supports OpenGL (version 2.0 recommended) for proper
video playback. A card with OpenGL 1.2 can also be used, but might put restrictions on
the video functionality.
To check if your video equipment is capable of playing back a video from within Cubase, open
the Video Player page in the Device Setup dialog. If your system does not meet the minimum
video requirements, a corresponding message will be displayed.
Device Setup
In the Device Setup dialog you determine which device is used for playing back video files.
The Video Player page in the Device Setup dialog
You can switch between different output devices during playback.
Setting Up a Video Output Device
PROCEDURE
1. Open the Devices Menu and select “Device Setup...” to open the Device Setup dialog,
and select the Video Player page.
2. In the Active column, activate the checkbox for the device that you want to use for
playing back video.
