how is studio one for editing audio to video? (no need to edit the video, just audio/midi to video)

are there any problems with the types of video formats? other problems?

First, I have no info on S1 in particular - just some input that is relevant.

Standard video editors like Adobe Premier Element and Nero Video is what I invested in recently, very affordable stuff.
They both have easy way to add audio to video, when your audio track is ready. So stick to standard 48k for video and it will line up.

So to do video in daw you can always get a converter to get a format that your daw supports. So just keeping to same framerate when converting whatever audio you do will line up.

For conversion I use AnyVideoConverter Free:

So choosing daw, maybe not look too hard on format. Daws usually can replace a audio track directly, but we really don't need that if having an ordinary video editor. Workflow in daw is all that matters.

Both Premiere Elements and Nero Video can generate video as it is, and replacing audio or adding audio to what is there. So import a video, add audio track when done and it should work. Nero Video have a setting SmartEncoding to leave video not edited untouched in output, and Premiere by default leave untouched imported video as it is on output.

Another thing that matter today and tells something about a software - are you required to install Quicktime or not?
On Windows it is deprecated by Microsoft since april - and Cubase have something new coming in february or so fixing this, so they have been slow in adapting in my view.

So check if StudioOne requires Quicktime is one little thing to evaluate if a vendor/daw is on par with current development on computers. Neither Premiere Elements 15 or Nero Video require Quicktime to edit video.

So look at if you get thumbnails in timeline and possibly using a second monitor to preview video. Nero Video 2017 allow that, Premiere don't.

But how S1 is getting thumbnails and preview - I have no idea.

Just a little bit from my own research preparing for video work....

Thanks , I use Premiere and reaper at the moment. Reaper is very open to video formats, it surprises me how Win daws are linked to QuickTime rather than the Win standards

Still waiting for Steinberg to offer an alternative to QT-Video in Cubase/Nuendo on Windows. It looks like they will have it ready by March-2017. So, Cubase Pro 9 will still be using QT when it is first released

Studio One is not looking as good as other options. Sonar is though, which surprised me - I had not been thinking of Sonar but it seems to be a great all rounder DAW.
