OK.
Last Pro Tools tutorial on functions and doing given things in Pro Tools before our midterm.
We're just going to go over how to use video in Pro Tools in order to import video.
It's pretty similar to that of audio and they just go up here to file import and instead of audio you
guessed it we're gonna go to video is navigate to wherever you have your video saved.
I have it here in class assets video.
Here we go and then I can choose.
Session start.
Make a selection spot.
Not all that relevant to us for our purposes.
We can just keep it here on session start and then we have the option to import audio from the video
from the video file as well.
When we import video and audio into Pro Tools it's going to treat them as two separate things.
They are not connected anymore but I'm going to import the audio just so we can see what that looks
like.
Now it is extracting or making a copy of the audio in that video file and it's asking me where do you
want me to save the copy of the audio from this video file.
Use current folder is fine
so now video pops up if I want to get rid of this to get some more screen real estate I can do that
just hit X we move this out of the way and now we've got our video here and the audio of that video
here as well but just as a reminder it is referencing and using the copy of the audio from the video
not the actual audio of the video itself it's treating these as two different things and to show you
how separate these are.
I can actually move them independently of one another.
If your navigation is not allowing you to move this and it's acting all weird.
Be sure to select the slip option in the top left here for navigation that allows you to move and place
anything anywhere you want on the timeline and I can do the same of audio.
I can also trim these right.
And this isn't true for all video formats.
Buy believe for this pro tools will allow us to actually trim and edit this video as well.
No.
Did I lie about that I lied about that.
All right.
So it's not true for all video formats.
I thought it was this one apparently not.
But for some video formats you can go in and actually trim the front and back of the video as well once
it's within there.
All right.
So if I wanted to at any point to just replace all of the audio in this video I could just mute this
track or just completely get rid of it right.
And then I can do my own sound design for that video.
It's really convenient.
If I ever want to move both of these together I can select one hold shift and then I can select the
video as well and now I can move these together as a pair.
So they're moving are along the timeline but they're staying in sync with one another.
All right.
The last thing about this video.
Let's say I have created the most amazing sound design for this video and I'm ready to bounce it out.
If I do not select an area of the timeline keep in mind that when I bounce or create an exported file
from Pro Tools it's going to start from where I have content to be it video or audio and go till the
last instance of content.
So if I were to just bounce it right now without selecting an area it would start here and go all the
way to here.
And if I created a video I would have video here and then for all this space it would just be black.
It just wouldn't have any picture at all.
For our purposes I'm just going to select the video itself if that's exactly what I want to capture.
And then I can go up here to file bounce 2 and then instead of going to disk if we want to create a
video we're gonna go to quick time
bound sources asking what you want to actually bounce in terms of audio.
The default for your sessions is 99 percent of the time going to be what you're looking for file type
is waived.
We want this format to be inter leave.
It's the same thing as stereo but that 16 sampler a forty four point one kilohertz if you want to change
any of these this is where you do it.
And then if we wanted to just use the same exact video format anything and everything else and just
add our audio to it we would be good to go if we wanted to change the format of the video so we imported
a video of one type or codec or whatever happens to be and we wanted to bounce a different format of
video we could uncheck the same as source and go into quick time settings then we can go to settings
and in here we can get very specific in terms of the type of video we want to create tons of different
compression types and selections for all of them.
So if you ever need to create a video type other than what it originally is this is where you can do
it.
For our purposes today we're fine keeping it the same as the source at this point.
We just want to name it.
Let's call it really awesomeness.
And then lastly we need to tell pro tools where we want it to be saved.
It's going to default to the bounced Files folder in the folder hierarchy that Pro Tools always creates
for every session.
If you're wondering where that is.
Can I have it in a folder called testing to and it is defaulting to this bounced Files folder within
it.
So it is perfectly fine once I'm ready to go.
I used it bounce and there we go.
Now if I go into that folder
LET ME FIND IT.
HERE WE GO.
GO TO BOUNCE files there is now the video that I created I had created a previous audio file in there
as well but there's the Foley awesomeness.
OK.
And so there is the video file that we created.
Well that's how you import use.
Move around create sound for a visual and Pro Tools.
Oh.
One thing I should mention if you get rid of the video window and you want to bring it back up again
all you need to do is go to window and hit video you know pop right up again for you little baby in
his hand inserted.
Yeah that's how you do that.
One thing I briefly forgot to mention is when you import your video file to Pro Tools Pro Tools is expecting
the video file to be a certain frame rate and if it doesn't line up with what the video is that you
import it will be all to play it back.
Like if I go here I can see the initial visual but as I hit spacebar and try to play it those sound
effects these large I can't actually see it right.
In order to line these things up.
Pro Tools are showing me hey I can see that this video is twenty five frames per second all right.
It's red.
Which tells you that that is not what the section is currently running at.
That's why I'm experiencing this difficulty to change that I want to go to setup session then up here
for timecode rate.
I'm going to switch that to the value that I see here.
Twenty five frames per second.
Right now that I've changed that you'll see it's why it should be good to get both complex these large
ice cream cones will end up being the egg cracking sound.
Now I can actually see the visual here.
OK I believe that's it.
That's it.
Got a question posted.
Let me know I'll answer it as soon as I can.
