Can you record video in Pro Tools?
Once you start a new Pro Tools session, you will need to create tracks where audio, MIDI and video material will be recorded and/or played-back from. Video tracks simply let the user playback video material that can be seen on the Video window.

How do you make a sound track in Pro Tools?
Once you have identified a suitable file, you can drag it from the Catalog window across into a suitable track on the Edit window. Note that as you drag it around the Session, the video will scroll backwards and forwards, so helping you place or ‘spot’ the sound effect more accurately even though the region is still an ‘outline’.
How does sound work in Pro Tools LE?

What kind of connector do I need for an external video recorder?

How does record run work on a camera?
Record-run is timecode that is turned on as soon as the record button is pressed and only counts the runtime of the recorded file. In order for record-run to work, all the devices must be linked and set to record by a central trigger, which is not really practical in a multi-camera production environment.
