Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 1260)

• FireWire: Choose this mode to output QuickTime movies from your project to a
FireWire device. (Your FireWire DV device must be connected at the time.) For
technical reasons, only QuickTime movies in DV format are supported.
• Video Format pop-up menu: When either the Digital Cinema Desktop or FireWire option
is chosen from the Video Output pop-up menu, the Video Format pop-up menu
becomes available.
• Digital Cinema Desktop offers three choices: Preview, Full Screen, and Raw.
• FireWire offers several PAL and NTSC format options, at different frame rates and
resolutions. Choose the most appropriate format for your project.
• Sound Output pop-up menu: Offers three choices:
• Mute: The audio track of the video file is disabled.
• System Sound: The audio track of the video is played through the System Sound
device (as defined in the Audio MIDI Setup utility).
• External Device: Choose this option to route the audio track of the video file to an
external device. In general, you would be most likely to use this option when FireWire
is selected in the Video Output pop-up menu.
• Movie Start field: You can enter the SMPTE offset value directly in the Movie Start field.
This is independent of the SMPTE offset for the project. This allows you to work from
bar one (1 1 1 1 in the Transport bar), even if the video time code—at a particular point
in the video—is several minutes into the movie file. Put simply, this makes your life
easier when creating a soundtrack for all, or part of, a movie file. You can fine-tune the
offset of internal and external video in Video preferences, which affect global projects.
(See
Video Preferences in Logic Pro .)
• Movie Volume slider: Sets the level of the video file audio track.
• Follow Tempo checkbox: Select to make the QuickTime movie run at the chosen tempo
value (see Basis Tempo field below) until it receives a tempo change message from the
Tempo track.
• Basis Tempo field: Set a tempo value for the QuickTime movie.
