<p>
|
|
Ardour offers a <dfn>video timeline</dfn> and <dfn>video monitoring</dfn>
|
|
for convenient audio mixing and editing to video, in order to produce
|
|
film soundtracks and music videos, or perform TV postproduction tasks.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The video capabilities are:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Import a single video and optionally extract the soundtrack from it.</li>
|
|
<li>Provide a video monitor window, or full-screen display, of the
|
|
imported video in sync with any of the available Ardour timecode
|
|
sources.</li>
|
|
<li>Display a frame-by-frame (thumbnail) timeline of the video.</li>
|
|
<li>Allow for a configurable timecode offset.</li>
|
|
<li><em>Lock</em> audio regions to the video.</li>
|
|
<li>Move audio regions with the video at video-frame granularity.</li>
|
|
<li>Export the video, trim start and end, add blank frames and/or
|
|
multiplex it with the soundtrack of the current session.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The setup of the video subsystem is modular and can be configured
|
|
in different ways, including:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>One machine for all video decoding, video monitoring and audio editing
|
|
tasks</li>
|
|
<li>Two machines, one for video monitoring, one for Ardour</li>
|
|
<li>Three machines, separate video server (for timeline decoding
|
|
and file archive), dedicated video monitor, and Ardour</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Ardour does <em>not</em>:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>allow for more than one video to be loaded at a time.</li>
|
|
<li>provide video editing capabilities</li>
|
|
</ul>
