Video Regions
You can create video regions that function in
much the same way as audio regions.
A video region is a segment of video data, and
can be a portion of video or an entire video file.
In Pro Tools, video regions are created from
QuickTime, Windows Media, or Avid video files,
and can be arranged in corresponding video
track playlists. Video regions can also be
grouped, looped, and color coded.
When using Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools LE with
Complete Production Toolkit or DV Toolkit 2,
or Pro Tools LE with an Avid video peripheral,
you can add, edit, and change viewing options
for video regions in the same ways as audio re-
gions. All edits to video regions are nondestruc-
tive. (See “General Video Editing” on page 1048
for more information.)
Just like audio regions, video regions display in
Pro Tools in the Region List or the Timeline.
When using Pro Tools LE, the following limita-
tions apply to video regions:
• You can add only one video region to a ses-
sion. It can be played back, but cannot be ed-
ited and will not be listed in the Region List.
• When you import video or open a session cre-
ated by Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools LE with
Complete Production Toolkit or DV Toolkit 2,
or Pro Tools LE with an Avid video peripheral,
only the main or first available video track
containing QuickTime regions will be im-
ported. You can play back and view multiple
regions, and tab through region boundaries.
However, you cannot edit them. (See “Using
Pro Tools LE to Import Video from Other Ver-
sions of Pro Tools” on page 1061 for more in-
formation.)

Production Toolkit or DV Toolkit 2, or with an
Avid Video Peripheral Only)

small video icon next to its name.
