Video and synchronization overview
Logic Pro X provides features that let you create or edit the soundtrack of any video or film
project. See
Add a movie to your project and Work with absolute time code .
Logic Pro X supports most synchronization protocols, allowing you to work with synchronized
external video or film editing and playback hardware, or with video files stored on a locally
attached or networked hard drive. Logic Pro X can act as the master synchronization device
or as a synchronization slave to another device. It works best as the master device. See
Synchronization overview and External synchronization .
Logic Pro X Project video preferences are available when Advanced tools and additional
options is selected in the Advanced preferences pane.

Add a movie to your project
You can view a QuickTime movie file synchronously with your project, making film and TV
scoring quick and easy. Although you can’t record or edit video directly in Logic Pro X, you can
replace the soundtrack of a video file with music, Foley, and dialogue arranged in your project.
You can open a QuickTime movie in a separate Movie window and can also display the single
frames of a QuickTime movie in the global Video track.
When a movie is opened in a project, the upper part of the inspector shows a closed Movie area,
which can be opened by clicking the disclosure triangle.
Movie playback follows the playhead position, and vice versa, in the Movie inspector area and in
the Movie window.
