The Import Video dialog box appears.
The first thing you will notice is that this dialog box is very similar to the Open dialog box that was discussed in Tutorial 1. The Import Video dialog box functions in very much the same way with the exception of two sections.
First, outlined in the preceding image is the drop-down box Files of type. Making a selection here will determine which video formats are displayed in the dialog box. Music Creator supports the following digital video formats:
The file we are interested in for this tutorial is a Windows Media file, so let’s select Windows Media (*.wmv, *.asf) in the Files of type list.

For now, let’s leave the Import Audio Stream and Show file info check boxes selected.
Just as you would with the Open dialog box, navigate to the following location: C:\Cakewalk Content\Music Creator 6\Demo Projects\Video Tutorial

Note: If you do not see any video frames in the Video Thumbnails pane, click the Show/Hide Video Thumbnails button in the Video Thumbnails track strip.
