836 Chapter 34 Working With Video
To open a QuickTime movie, do one of the following:
m Choose Options > Movie > Open Movie command (or use the corresponding key
command, default: Option-Command-O).
m Click the Open Movie button in the global Video Track.
m Click at any position on the Video track with the Pencil tool.
m Locate and select the movie file in the Browser, then click the Open button.
The video is opened in the floating Movie window, in its correct aspect ratio.
Note: Only one QuickTime movie can be opened in a project! Using the Open Movie
command in a project that already contains a movie, reopens a Movie window with the
same film clip. This is particularly useful if you want to open the video clip in a different
screenset. Choosing the command—while the Movie window is open—launches a file
selector box, allowing you to choose a new movie file.
To remove a movie from a project:
m Choose Options > Movie > Remove Movie.
All references to the movie are deleted from the project.
Using the Movie Window
You can drag the position slider at the bottom of the Movie window, or use the
QuickTime transport buttons to the right, to navigate to any position in the video file.
Logic Express (the playhead) will “chase” to the corresponding project position. All
QuickTime transport functions interact with those of Logic Express.
