    Got one of these for loading home videos into Logic 9? – P&R (Peace & Respect…)

      Nope, but I bet it’s roughly the same process.

    Awesome. I edit my video in final cut and I always had to use Garageband for scoring-type things, but I’d much rather use pro tools. It was sitting right there and I didn’t even know that the video import option was available, thanks Joe, nice work!

    Great tip about the modifier options !

    I’ve never tried re-exporting the video, I always bounced the audio alone and re-combined it later in Quicktime Pro. If you choose to export the video from PT, do you get a 1:1 copy of the original video ? Or does it export in a default format ?

    when I import my quicktime file and select the import audio from file check box it doesn’t import the audio from the video. Not sure why, anyone know?

    I’m importing a quicktime video and selecting the import audio checkbox to import the audio along with the video, however, no audio is imported. When I bounce the video it’s there. Do you know what’s wrong?

      Check the regions bin on the right side of the window. The audio should be in there. Drag and drop it into the edit window. See if that works.
