- Season 1 Episode 3: Composing to Video. Today we're going to talk about how to import video clips within Cubase and setup your film scoring project quickly so you can begin to film scoring right away.
We'll go over project settings for frame rates, following musical events or by bars and beats, using markers, tempo tracks and the time warp tool in Cubase 11 Pro.
We have a demo action cue to score from some stock footage we put together and you can get an idea what its like to write music and sync to film.
Let me know what you think and if its a similar workflow for you or if you have any tips for me!

Thank you so much!!
Finally find where the marker track's musical mode !!!!thank you !
👍You’re welcome! Cheers!
it probably starts at four seconds because it’s expecting a two pop. often film editors will deliver the file with a countdown from 4 with an audible pop on the two second mark at the beginning and end of the film to ensure easy sync between various departments of post production. so usually the clip will start at 00:56:00:00 with the first frame of action on 01:00:00:00
Thank you! I need this the most
Glad it was helpful!
That was very helpful and easy to follow. Thanks

i cannot tell you how helpful this was to me today, been scoring in logic for so long but made a switch to cubase because i'm using a pc. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thank you so much! Hearing how this helped you is why I make videos like this and makes the effort all worthwhile. 👍🙌
@@AlvinSWongMusic Absolutely, your video was really to the point with no nonsense, all useful and super clear. Thx again and wishing you all the best!
Amazing!
Great Video Alvin!! thanks for sharing this
Thanks, Filipe!

Thanks for the video, it was very helpful. Also it's nice to see more people play Starcraft ;)
Hah yeah. Love that game too much!
thanx for sharing
This tutorial helped me a lot! Thanks Alvin! I am planning to score a timelapse vid of my daughter from birth up to her 5th birthday. I’m using Cubase Pro 10.5 and planning to use some Spitfire Originals Felt Piano and the new Cinematic Pads.
Wow I’m sure it’ll be wonderful! Thanks for sharing and happy to help, Lyndon.
Alvin, you have a new subscriber to your channel👍👍🙂
Thanks 🙏
Great video thanks a lot !
Hello, fellow northerner! :D 🇨🇦 This is a really nice tutorial that filled in some more gaps for me in Cubase skills.
Awesome 👏 glad it helped!
GREAT VIDEO!! I Just got Cubase 11. and want to use it for video. THANK YOU.
Glad it was helpful!
merci beaucoup pour cette video
Avec Plaisir, Jennifer!
thx a lot!
You’re welcome!
Thanks Alvin,very profesional .
🙏 Thanks, Gabriel.
@@AlvinSWongMusic you're welcome Alvin. If you can and if you have time, make a video about how to make the template in cubase in the most correct way. I used to be from logic but I went to cubase a long time ago and I notice a big difference in everythin galthough logic is after cubase I think the best Daw. A pleasure and don't forget to do that only if you have time.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll think about doing that. Cheers.
I feel like this is an eBay review, but it was just what I needed, thank you 😀
Hehe thanks Phillip! I’ll take it. Cheers.
Grazie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thx
Amazing tutorial. I wish you could explain a bit more how the video would follow time warp changes ( especially tempo ramps) on the tempo track.
Maybe this one by the great Dom Sigalas: ua-cam.com/video/qzPMZyWib94/v-deo.html. You welcome 😉
thanks for sharing that introduction! i'm about to sync my first video, perfect video not to spend hours desperately looking for hot to do it. thanks!
btw: cubase elements 12 has an "add marker" hotkey for 9 markers - if you're in the marker track, click CMD+1-9 and you're set. that at least works for my short clip that i'm syncing.
Awesome glad the video helps!
❤❤❤
I guess a lot of these features aren't available in Cubase Elements. That's a shame because I won't be able to upgrade for awhile. Great video nonetheless, and I'll definitely keep this video on hand to go back to!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much, I use Nuendo 12 and when I export the video loss quality, I do the same with Studio one 5 and the video export perfect?
Since you use Showtime code, you have the option to have it started by one. If the time code is burnt in I’m assuming you’re locked into where it starts. Or could you also said that bar one?
How do I keep the video from moving when changing tempo changes
Alvin have you noticed that if a video comes in at 23.98fps, and you trim it to first frame than move your first frame to your bar 5 set at 01:00:00:00 - go one frame earlier than bar 5 and then back up to bar 5 it doesn't actually go back to 5 but rather back to 5.1.1.7? Not sure why that is, but the problem is that if you trim the video to first frame and then move what you think is first frame to bar 5 you will see black not the first frame even though the TC reads 01:00:00:00 there... so weird its like setting 1 hour in TC to bar 5 isn't really doing that - its really 7 ticks off. The only way I've noticed that everything stays right is if the video is at 24 fps.
For the 4 second thing, is it possible that 2 bars at whatever tempo you have set equals 4 seconds and the order that you do things makes it show that way? I can't do the math because I can't see your tempo, but that might be it. If you are at the default tempo of 120 then two bars = 4 seconds. I dunno, maybe?
Hello you can connect the camera and record video directly on Cubase 12?
Not that I know of. No.
do i understand right? in cubase 12 pro i can put my own audio and video and sync ?
Tempo change in s problem with this method, any link to fix it.
can i add fonts on videos?
also can i contrast,sharpness ectvto videos
No, you would need to use another specific video editing software for that like DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere. DaVinci is free btw 😉.
I have just downloaded Cubase LE yesterday. There is no 23.976fps option and clicking "Get frame rate from video" doesn't help. Also in 'Devices' there is no option to tick for timecode. Dunno if they're just not available in the 'LE' version but they're not there anymore. Also something missed here that took me all day to work out because no one seems to think it's important. Your video will not play smoothly if you go over 9OO pixels wide. It will also not play DNxHD footage without a paid plug in that costs £25. I used a MP4 9OOx374 aspect ratio because thats a 2.4O:1 ratio scaled down from my 1O8OX8OO final output. It also requires LLC audio. 'At least thats what worked for me'. It seems to have a problem as soon as you go over the 1OOO pixels threshold. Dunno why. Now everything works as it should. I just set it up as a preset in my video editing software so I don't have to deal with this issue anymore. And after spending all day trying to get the audio in cubase to just work, I saved that as a template as well. Happy Days!!
I have set up frame rate, but after import is video not visible - MOV format. any idea?
Ladislav, I would suggest checking the video format specifications against your Cubase version. The Cubase support site should have a page describing what will work. e.g. helpcenter.steinberg.de/hc/en-us/articles/115000808250-Video-support-in-Nuendo-Cubase-WaveLab-and-Dorico#video_formats Unfortunately not every video type will load. You might need to convert first with another tool like Davinci Resolve for example which is free or I've heard others use handbrake.
Hi, I got Cubase Pro 10.5, when I try to import a video it do not import anything . Any suggestions?
Could it be an unsupported video format you’re trying? This thread looks like it might have some hints for you? forums.steinberg.net/t/unable-to-import-video-cubase-10-5/145968
Hi, Thanks for sharing it.
However in my Cubase Artist 11 the 4k video that plays even in my Windows media player will freeze on the video player screen in Cubase (F8 key shortcut) . That makes Cubase completely useless for the purpose of editing videos. I have a powerful PC, 2 xeon 6-cores (12 logical cores) 32 GB RAM and NVIDIA 510 video card.
As a musician, I can record audio alright, but as a trucker trying to upload his work Cubase is not the right tool, as it seems. I will not buy Nuendo just to upload day-job videos.
Shame!
I loaded an mp4 and opened the video player but it won't play. Any clues please....then I will be able to process the rest of what you explain!

@@AlvinSWongMusic Thanks for the reply. You are right. Although the file was mp4/h.264 there was something else that was causing issues that was beyond my understanding. It was codec related. I ended up downloaded Avid Media Composer (free edition) as suggested by the Steinberg Manual, as it's preset file converter was what I needed, and once I converted it and uploaded it back into Cubase it was fine.
Very cool glad it all worked out!
Check the frame height and width of the video the one that plays in your system should be the one you request from the editor
My Marker is not Showing in Full Screen, its like you, mine is only in Marker track, how can i setup my marker from track to bottom 🙄
I am exporting the video in cubase 10.5 but each time I export the entire video, the contrast of the vid turns blue. How do I fix it?
Whoa haven’t heard of that before. Sorry, I don’t know how to resolve that.
How to export the video? Never say how? Say how to do it please
