activate Extract Audio on Import Video File in the Preferences dialog (Video page).

Adopting the Frame Rate

To ensure that the time display of Cubase corresponds to the actual frames in the video, you

must set the project frame rate to the frame rate of the imported video file.

PREREQUISITE

The frame rate of the imported video file differs from the project frame rate.

PROCEDURE

1. Select Project> Project Setup.

2. In the Project Setup dialog, click Get from Video.

3. Click OK.

RESULT

● If Cubase supports the frame rate of the video, the project frame rate is adopted to it. If

needed, the project start time is automatically adjusted to reflect the change in frame rate.

For example, if the project frame rate is switched from 30 fps to 29.97 fps, the project

start time is adopted so that all the events in the project remain at the same positions in

relation to real time.

NOTE

If you want the project start time to remain the same, you must manually change it back.

In this case, you must snap the video event to the timeline to ensure proper positioning

and synchronization within the project.
