<h2>Adding Video</h2>

<p>
Adding video is a two-step process: select a video file, and choose
import mode and optionally select an audio track to extract.
</p>

<p>
The first step is rather straight-forward. The panel on the right side
allows to seek through the video and displays basic file information.
It is also useful to check if the video format/codec is supported:

<p>
The second step analyzes the video file in more detail and offers import options:

<dt><kbd class="menu">Import/Transcode to Session</kbd></dt>

By default the video is imported using the original width/height.

<p>
The video export will take audio from the current Ardour session and
multiplex it with a video file. The soundtrack of the video is taken from
an audio export of Ardour's master bus.

An arbitrary video file can be chosen. For high quality exports, the
original file (before it was imported into the timeline) should be used.

on the timeline. Any existing audio tracks on this video file are stripped.

<p>
The range selection allows to cut or extend the video. If the session is
longer than the video duration, black frames are prefixed or appended to
presets.

omes in handy to do quick snapshots, intermediates, dailies or online videos.
