3 title: Video Timeline and Monitoring
8 The integration of a video timeline and video monitoring into Ardour 3.2 allows for convenient audio mixing and editing to video ie soundtracks, music videos, TV post production etc.
13 Ardour 3.2 (and later) facilities to:
16 <li>Import a single video and optionally extract the soundtrack from it.
18 <li>Provide a Video-monitor window, or full-screen display, of the imported video in sync with any of the available Ardour timecode sources.
20 <li>Display a frame-by-frame (thumbnail) timeline of the video.
22 <li>time-offset the video.
24 <li><em>Lock</em> audio-regions to the video: Move audio-regions with the video at video-frame granularity.
26 <li>Export the video, cut start/end, add blank frames and/or mux it with the soundtrack of the current-session.
31 Furthermore, the setup is modular and can be configured in different ways, including:
34 <li>One machine: all video decoding, video monitoring and Ardour audio
36 <li>Two machines: separate video-monitor and Ardour
38 <li>Three machines: separate video-server (for timeline decoding and file-archive), dedicated video-monitor and Ardour
43 Ardour does <strong>not</strong> :
46 <li>allow for more than one video to be loaded at a time.
48 <li>provide video editing capabilities
