Internal
The Video Player window can be resized at will, but the aspect ratio of the video is
kept and borders are displayed around the video image to fill the window.
External
The resizing of the Video Player window is limited according to the aspect ratio of
the video image, i. e. the video image always fills the full window and its aspect
ratio is kept.
NOTE
When the video is played back in full screen mode, the aspect ratio of the video is always
kept.
Scrubbing Video
You can scrub video events, i.
e. play them back forwards or backwards. This is done by
clicking in the Video Player window and moving the mouse to the left or to the right. You can
also use a jog wheel on a remote controller for scrubbing video events.
Editing Video
Video clips are played back by events just as audio clips are.
You can use all the basic editing operations on video events, just as with audio events. You
can take a single event and copy it many times for the creation of mix variations. A video
event may also be trimmed using the event handles to remove a countdown for instance.
Furthermore, you can edit video clips in the Pool.
It is not possible to fade or crossfade video events. Furthermore, you cannot use the Draw,
Glue, and Mute tools with a video event.
NOTE
Windows only: If you find that you are unable to edit a video file copied from a CD, this might
be due to the fact that files copied from CD are write-protected by default. To remove the
write-protection, in the File Explorer, open the Properties dialog and deactivate the “Read-
Only” option.

Extracting Audio From a Video File
If a video file contains audio, the audio stream can be extracted.
As always when importing audio material, a dialog is displayed allowing you to select
different import options. The extracted audio stream is added to the project on a new audio
track and can be edited like all other audio material.
There are several ways to extract audio from a video file:
By activating the “Extract Audio From Video” option in the Import Video dialog.
By using the “Audio from Video File” option on the Import submenu of the File menu.
