Just bought an update from WL9.5 to WL 10 in order to use its video features.
Installed it and made a 5.1 (6-track) montage with the 6 audio files which I rendered from a feature-film project in Nuendo.
This Nuendo project also contains a video, converted to DNxHD, which plays flawlessly in Nuendo.
Though, when I drag this same video file from my Finder onto the video track in Wavelab, Wavelab doesn’t show it, nor does it play it…
It’s a ±18GB DNxHD file, ±1 hrs and 2 minutes, 25fps, 1920x1080 , and -again- it plays flawlessly in Nuendo.
When I take a shorter video from another project, it works perfectly in Wavelab though…
the video engine of WaveLab is the same like the one from Nuendo with one exception, WaveLab comes with an “older” version.
When you drag & drop the video file onto the video track in WaveLab, what happens in detail? Is there anything happening at all? Does WaveLab at least import the audio of the video file (I assume there is audio within the video file)?
No, it seems like Wavelab doesn’t “react” at all after I dragged the DNxHD from my Finder onto WL’s video-track.
What happens though is that WL doesn’t react any more on a couple of key commands. Space bar (start/stop) stops functioning for example. WL needs a restart to react properly back again…
When I drag this short .mov from another project onto this same video track, WL shows the thumbnails and the video itself properly…
Looks like WL finds it difficult to read long/large video files?
I just experimented wiht another (huge) videofile, a 70GB .mov ProRes 4444 XQ.
When I dragged it from my Finder onto WL’s videotrack I could see the video’s frame (with the red border) but no thumbnails and no video content.
Maybe it has got to do with my computer, the videocard or its processor?
I’ll try it later on my laptop, and I’ll report back.
Using WL10.01 on Windows 10. I also am wanting to use video track.
The video track will accept my .mov but WL does not extract the audio. The .mov file has the regular stereo channels as well as an additional 8 channels embedded however none of the audio is extracted into the montage.
The video thumbnail appear and the video plays but no audio.
The video is a pro-rez mov file and if I put it into Cubase the audio automatically gets extracted onto separate tracks but this does not happen in Wavelab.
My issue is not about importing audio from a video. I’m worried about the video itself which is not being shown in WL.
Maybe the issue lies in the fact that the video has no audio at all?
There is more issues coming to the surface on my rig, after 24hrs of use…
WL Crashed after I played my 5.1-montage and cleared the montage
WL’s transport becomes unresponsive after playing this 5.1-montage and swapping it for another 5.1-montage
From your video, I see that you don’t have selected a valid audio device (but that does not explain the crash).
And when you have a crash report, don’t send it to Apple (who don’t care), but save it and optionally send it to the developer of the application.

I think I selected my MacBookPro’s Built-In output…isn’t that a valid audio device?

I am sorry if I pressed the wrong button in my hurry to try to make Wavelab work for me, but fact is: the advertised feature “Video Playback Support” still doesn’t work properly on my system.
I hope the line (of this forum thread) doesn’t stop here?
Thanks for helping me getting Wavelab work (please)

On your video, I see there is a single audio port. Maybe you have to use an aggregate device.

If you can provide a video that you can’t play, please send a link in a PM.

I can imagine that it looks like the Built-In output of my MacBookPro only has 1 output port, but it hasn’t. Actually its a stereo output-port but it has only the port names “1” and " " (empty space)…it’s the way Apple provides names on my system. I know I can change their names but I didn’t yet. Sorry for the confusion it caused.
