Note that videos using the above mentioned codecs have a rather large file size.

Photo-JPEG and Motion-JPEG are working fine too but use single-threaded decoding only. If you are working with DNxHD encoded videos, make sure to download and install the free Avid Codecs LE package. They are also economical in terms of allocated memory per video file. Video files that have been encoded with these codecs play back correctly and run smooth when winding or using the jogwheel. If file size is not an issue, the ideal choice is an editing codec like ProRes (native format of Apple Final Cut Pro) or DNxHD (Avid's native format). What sort of video codecs can be recommended for use with Nuendo? Your graphics card needs to support OpenGL 2.0 or higher and it’s recommended to have the latest graphics drivers installed. If you are on a Mac, all needed QuickTime components are already in place.

If you are using Windows, make sure to have QuickTime installed (v7.1 or higher). Thus, if the QuickTime Player can play back your video, Nuendo can play it back, too. Theoretically, all files that are supported by QuickTime are compatible with Nuendo. The video playback of Nuendo and Cubase (below, only Nuendo will be mentioned) is based on Apple’s QuickTime engine on both Mac and Windows. Among others, it no longer depends on Apple’s QuickTime technology. With Nuendo 8 and Cubase 9.0.30 a new video engine has been introduced. Please note that this article refers to older Cubase and Nuendo versions.
