Sound Forge supports opening and saving Microsoft® Audio and Video Interleave (AVI), Windows Media® Video (WMV), QuickTime® (MOV), and MPEG video files. Using Sound Forge, you can edit a video file’s audio track with single-frame accuracy.

Viewing video

You can view the video portion of a file in the data window’s video strip and in the Video Preview window. Sound Forge also supports viewing video on an external monitor.

Using the video strip

Though Sound Forge does not perform video editing, the video strip display allows you to navigate video files.

Right-click the Edit Tool Selector to view the video strip

By default, the video strip displays when you open a file containing video. If the video strip is not displayed, right-click the data window’s Edit Tool Selector and choose Video from the shortcut menu. A check mark appears adjacent to the command and the video strip displays. To hide the video strip, choose Video from the shortcut menu again.
