Introduction
-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.
+ Ardour offers a video timeline and video monitoring
+ for convenient audio mixing and editing to video, in order to produce
+ film soundtracks and music videos, or perform TV postproduction tasks.

-Ardour 3.2 (and later) facilities to:
+ The video capabilities are:
-- Import a single video and optionally extract the soundtrack from it.
-
-- Provide a Video-monitor window, or full-screen display, of the imported video in sync with any of the available Ardour timecode sources.
-
-- Display a frame-by-frame (thumbnail) timeline of the video.
-
-- time-offset the video.
-
-- Lock audio-regions to the video: Move audio-regions with the video at video-frame granularity.
-
-- Export the video, cut start/end, add blank frames and/or mux it with the soundtrack of the current-session.
