Video File Compatibility

Because there are many types of video files, it can be difficult to determine if one will work on your system.

There are 2 ways to figure out if Cubase can play back a certain video file:

  • Open the video file with QuickTime 7.1 or higher, because Cubase uses QuickTime for playing back video files.

  • Check the file information of a video file in the Pool. If the information reads “Invalid or not supported file!”, the video file is either corrupt or the format is not supported by the available codecs.

Note

If you are not able to load a certain video file, you must use an external application to convert the file into a compatible format or install the required codec.
