Import video - not supported

Dorico
1

Hello everyone. I have a problem about importing videos, on dorico 4.3.30.1132 on Win 10

I made an audio file with Cubase, but Dorico only imports video files, so I uploaded my audio file to an online file conversion site, making an Mp4 file.

So I open Dorico, go to configuration mode and click on flow>Video>connect

From the file open screen it actually shows the video fule, but when I select it and hit enter Dorico replies with an error message “the video format is not supported”.

I tried different formats, all “visible”, but none of these are opened by Doric

Can you help me please?

There are a number of threads about how to do this. I suggest you search the forum for something like “video format”

thank you

I found several threads… the solution is very cumbersome… how nice it would be to be able to import simple .waw files

I just found out for myself how tricky discovery is for this feature. Needing Google to help me find “Attach” is pretty extreme (as is need to go to Setup, select the flow, and right-click). I would have discovered it much sooner if it were in the jump bar (I did try typing “video” in there, but no luck—I also tried searching “video” in the help menu). I suppose maybe the fact that it needs a flow makes it a little tricky for the jump bar, but it could default to the current flow, no?

I open the online Dorico Help (Help>Dorico help)and type video in the search box and this is what I get…

Sure, fair enough.
