Tutorial 8 – Working with video
Importing video
What if I don’t see the Video Thumbnail pane or Video view?
To show or hide the Video Thumbnail pane, drag the splitter bar that separates the Video Thumbnail
pane from the Clips pane.
To restore the Video Thumbnail pane, point the mouse pointer over the splitter bar (the mouse
pointer will look like
), then drag the splitter bar down to restore and resize the Video Thumbnail
pane to your liking. You can also press the V key to show or hide the Video Thumbnail pane.
If you closed the Video view, or if it did not open automatically when you imported the video, you can
open it by selecting
Views > Video or pressing ALT+SHIFT+2.
Changing the video properties
SONAR allows you to make some useful changes to a video's settings for film scoring purposes. To
access these settings, simply right-click in the Video view and choose
Video Properties from the
pop-up menu to open the Video Properties dialog box.
The Video Properties dialog box has three tabs: the Video Settings tab, the Info tab and the
Render Quality tab. For detailed information about all of these options and settings, see “Video
Properties dialog” on page 1902. For this tutorial, we are only going to look at the tools on the Video
Settings tab.
