How do you import video into a Pro Tools session, and what frame rate considerations apply?

• A. File > Import > Video; ensure the video frame rate matches your project; enable the video engine.
• B. Open a new window.
• C. Video is not supported.
• D. Import via File > Import > Audio.

Answer: (A)

Importing video into a Pro Tools session is done by bringing the video in through the video import path, specifically using File > Import > Video. The frame rate matters because the video and the session must run at the same rate to keep audio and video in sync; if the frame rate doesn't match, the video can play at the wrong speed or drift out of sync with the audio. Also, you need to enable the video engine so Pro Tools can render and display the video inside the session. The other options don’t actually import video (opening a new window won’t), claim video isn’t supported (it is), or suggest importing only audio (that won’t add video content).
