Can Cubase 5 import and display a video file as a track, show thumbnails of frames, so that I could use Cubase 5 to compose music and match it up with the movie file (e.g. I have Sony ACID Pro 6.0 and it can do this, but ACID Pro is limited compared to Cubase in that ACID can not do composition with notes on staves, etc.)? I think I see that Nuendo does that, but Nuendo is much more expensive. I do not need timecode sophistication, just some basic watch to see how the composed music sequences match up to frames of a movie seen as thumbnails on a track. Considering what sequencing software to buy, Cubase 5 looks impressive, I just need to find out an answer to this question. Any help on this question is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance. ~randall
Yes. Cubase has done that since about SX a few years ago.

I have been at my wits end trying to discover the answer. It is nowhere on Cubase's website (steinberg.net), there is no phone number or email address to contact Steinberg.net about this question (unless you already own the product, which means if you have a question about a product but not yet own it you are left in the dark on pre-sales questions), I googled images.google.com for screenshots and could not find one single screenshot showing a video track. I did find, as you say, that Cubase SX does this, but there is no mention of it for Cubebase 5, and I need to be sure before shelling out hundreds of dollars for this product. Thanks again!

Found this forum thread from back in 2005, so I am assuming Cubase 5 should be even better, I am going to order Cubase 5. http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=93284&highlight=cubase film scoring
