Note: You will need a fast processor to ensure smooth movie playback. If you want to record
and edit your own QuickTime movie from a video recorder or digital camera, you may need
specialized hardware.
Open a Movie window in Logic Pro X
Do one of the following:
m Choose File > Open Movie (or use the corresponding key command, default
assignment: Option-Command-O).
m Open the Movie pop-up menu in the global Movie track header, then choose Open Movie.
m Click any position on the Video track with the Pencil tool.
m Click the Media button in the control bar, then click the Movies button and choose the movie file.
The movie opens in the floating Movie window, in its correct aspect ratio.
Note: Only one QuickTime movie can be opened in a project. If you use the Open Movie
command in a project that already contains a movie, a Movie window reopens with the same
video clip. This is particularly useful if you want to open the video clip in a different screenset. If
you choose the command while the Movie window is open, a dialog appears, allowing you to
choose a new movie file.
Remove a movie from a project
Do one of the following:
m Choose File > Movie > Remove Movie (or use the corresponding key command).
m Open the Movie pop-up menu in the global Movie track header, then choose Remove Movie.
All references to the movie are deleted from the project.
