Editing Video with Pro Tools 12

[Chouchou]

Hello, I am a ProTools 12 user and recently tempted to use video data more. Usually I separate video clips into the audio and the video and edit the audio with PT12 and the video with other video editing software. This is often tedious. So, I like to learn more about Video editing functions of PT 12. The first thing to learn is fade-in and fade-out. Does anyone know how to do fading videos with PT12? Satoshi

You can't fade video with Pro Tools - you'll need to use a separate program. All you can do with Pro Tools HD is cut video.

Thank you very much! PT12 does not work very well for video edition. Good to know. I do not have to waste my time.

PT excels at creating audio for existing audio, but does not do editing of the video itself. You will need a video editor. I use Sony Vegas on PC as my video editor, but there are lots of other choices. If you primarily do audio and simply want your DAW to do basic video editing, Reaper will work for you.
