Like the top-of-the-line Cubase SX3, Cubase SL3 also offers powerful options for underscoring images with music. It supports numerous standard formats (AVI, MPEG, Quicktime and many more) to ensure utmost compatibility with all types of video files. You may opt to view video material in a freely scalable video window within Cubase SL3 or, in combination with the requisite video hardware, on an external monitor. Cubase SL3 offers a special type of video track. Video files are as easy to insert as audio files, for example, via drag & drop. You can view the video’s individual frames directly in the track as thumbnails, which tremendously facilitates soundtrack composing with image-by-image precision.
