Importing video
Tutorial 8 – Working with video
First, outlined in the preceding image is the drop-down box Files of type . Making a selection here
will determine which video formats are displayed in the dialog box. SONAR supports the following
digital video formats:
• Windows Media (.wmv and .asf)
• Video For Windows (.avi)
• MPEG Video (.mpg)
• QuickTime Video (.mov)
The file we are interested in for this tutorial is a
Windows Media file, so let’s select Windows Media
(*.wmv, *.asf) in the Files of type list.
Next, outlined in the above image you will see the File info area on the left and three options on the
right. Let’s review what each of these options do.
For now, let’s leave the Import Audio Stream and Show file info check boxes selected.
Just as you would with the Open dialog box, navigate to the following location:
C:\Cakewalk\SONAR X3 [Producer or Studio]\Tutorial Projects\Video Tutorial
Locate and import the file named
Boarding.wmv
. You can open it by either double-clicking on it or
highlighting it and then clicking the Open button.
Notice that SONAR imported any audio that is a part of the video as well. If the video does not have
any audio already associated with it, then SONAR will create a silent audio track like in our example.
You should now see the
Boarding video in the Video view as well as the Video Thumbnail pane in
the Track view.
Option What it does
Show file info When selected, this tells SONAR to display video information about the
selected file in the
File info area of the dialog box.
Import Audio Stream Select this option if you want to import the video file’s embedded audio
into a new audio track in SONAR.
Import as mono tracks Select this option if you want to import the video file's embedded audio
data as one or more mono tracks.
Table 9.
Note: If you do not see any video frames in the Video Thumbnails pane, click the Show/Hide
Video Thumbnails button in the Video Thumbnails track strip.
