This could be useful for reference, or if the source video doesn't include such a burn-in already, although there aren't too many options to define how the timecode appears on the video. One additional thing that an be optionally included in a video exported from Cubase is a timecode burn-in based on the current Project time. For such a useful and advanced feature, it's perhaps surprising Steinberg decided to include Export Video not in just Cubase Pro, but Artist and Elements as well.

Perhaps we'll see more choice in future versions, although maybe I'm being picky: even in professional contexts, sending a file created using the current Export Video offering gives you something that can be played back by almost any system and will be more than acceptable to almost any client. The lack of options on offer at export stands in sharp contrast to the wide array of video formats supported for import and playback. However, I couldn't help but think I'd like to see more options for choosing additional containers and both video and audio codecs, with support for 24-bit resolutions and other sample rates. The video was encoded with Apple ProRes 422 SD (1280x720) at a 23.976 frame rate, and the feature worked as advertised, which was great.

I tested the Video Export command by importing a MOV file into a Project. The new Export Video window makes it easy to create a new video file with audio from the active Project. For audio, the AAC codec is employed to compress audio at a 16-bit resolution using the Project's sample rate, although only 44.1 and 48 kHz sample rates are supported.

Et voilГ !ДЄ new video file will be created in an MP4 container, using the H.264 codec to render HD (1920x1080) video (upscaling or downscaling the resolution as necessary from the source resolution) at the same frame rate as the imported video. In the Export Video window, set a name and path for the video file to be created, choose the stereo output to use for the audio to be included in the video (and whether that audio should be rendered in real time or not) and click the Export Video button. To export a video, simply set the required range using the left and right locators and select Video from the File / Export submenu. Unlike the original Replace Audio in Video command, which added audio to an existing video file, the new Export Video command offers much more flexibility by creating new video files based on the position of the locators. Finally, it's now available to Cubase users too. It was promised for Nuendo 10, released in April 2019, but missed the initial 10.0 release, and eventually showed up in Nuendo 10.2 around six months later.

The new engine was a huge step forward in terms of supporting modern containers and codecs for playback, but the capability to export video was, to paraphrase a Steinberg support article, pushed back as a planned development for future updates.

The Windows version of this had been withering on the vine for years, and was finally put out of its misery in 2016. Long-time Cubase users might remember the Replace Audio in Video command, which allowed you to replace the audio within an existing video file, and which was dropped when Steinberg introduced a brand-new video engine in Cubase 9.0.30.Дespite some consternation, this new video engine was necessary - and arguably overdue - because Steinberg's previous cross-platform video engine utilised Apple's QuickTime technology. One of the most requested features in Cubase has been the ability to export a video file containing both the audio mixdown and accompanying video from a Project.

And indeed, the company didn't disappoint, unveiling Cubase 10.5 almost a year to the day on November 13th with no shortage of new features and improvements.ДЄvailable in the usual Pro, Artist, and Elements editions, this review focuses primarily on Cubase Pro 10.5 - the inclusion (or lack thereof) of certain new functionality in other editions will be mentioned as necessary. Given that the last release of the company's Advanced Music Production System was version 10, launched on November 14th 2018, Steinberg's past roadmap strongly suggested 2019 would be an x.5 year.

#Cubase review update#

There's something for everyone in the latest version of Steinberg's flagship music production package.Д¬hristmas was coming, the goose was becoming rather overweight due to a lack of dietary restrictions, and Steinberg released what has become the now-traditional end-of-year update to Cubase. Note the new MultiTap Delay effect included with the Pro and Artist editions, and the coloured channel strips in the mixer.
