But I just installed acid Pro 8, and apparently it is not possible to add a single video track... I am very disappointed right now.

????? Works here. Just drag the video file into the project. FYI, it must be a supported format.

Re: Multiple clips. Does that make sense? You can't render the video out anyway, so the workflow should be NLE - low res proxy video into ACID - score & render sound file - take sound file back into NLE - finish movie.

Ok, it was indeed a problem of supported format. I thought mp4 was standard enough to be supported by most programs, especially because acid pro 7 could support mp4.

Apparently acid pro 8 only supports .wmv formats, which is better than nothing. And you can export videos from Acid pro 8 with that same format.

To answer the initial question: no. You can only insert one video track, and you can not manipulate it in any way. Just like in Acid Pro 7. That's too bad.

...and various types of AVI file.

Good to know ! So basically like Acid Pro 7. Well overall, it's a relief.

Thank you for your help sorting this out :)

You might find Magix Vegas is better suited to you. Overall editing in Vegas is very similar to Acid, with the main difference that Vegas doesn't really understand loops and has no concept of BPM - at least not one that's useful. But practically everything else is works the same as Acid.

Hello,

AP8 will only support one video track with .wmv or .avi format. As mentioned by @sheppo I would suggest using MAGIX Vegas when you want to do some serious video editing.

I don't believe this post is about video editing. You can't really use Vegas to score using MIDI, which is what the author wanted to do, in my understanding. I too find it a little disappointing that mp4 was supported previously, but now isn't. Hopefully this will become supported again, alongside other common video formats, in the near future.
