Scrubbing the Video Track
Due to the latency introduced by all FireWire-
based video peripherals, the video on an exter-
nal monitor will not be in sync with the Scrub-
ber tool. To scrub video without latency, you
can scrub in the Video window.
If you scrub directly on the video track, only the
video will scrub (no audio will play). If you scrub
on an audio track, audio and video will scrub si-
multaneously.
To scrub a video track:
1 Ensure that scrubbing in the Video window is
enabled by selecting Options > Scrub in Video Win-
dow
.
2 Select the Scrubber tool.
3 Click in the video track and drag the Scrubber.
Shuttling the Video Track
Shuttle Lock mode lets you use the numeric key-
pad to shuttle a video track and one or two au-
dio tracks forward or backwards at specific
speeds. Numbers 0 through 9 provide progres-
sively faster speeds, as follows:
• To stop shuttling, press 0.
• To increase the speed progressively towards
normal speed, press numbers 1 through 4.
• To shuttle at normal speed, press 5.
• To increase the speed progressively faster than
normal speed, press numbers 6 through 9.
Only the main video track is shuttled. When
multiple audio tracks are selected, only the first
two tracks are shuttled.
To play the video track with the shuttle lock:
1 With Pro Tools HD, make sure the Operation
preference for Numeric Keypad mode is not set
to Shuttle (see “Operation Preferences” on
page 83).
For information on playing video through
PCIe, see “Playing Video to an External
Monitor Using a Video Card” on
page 1057.
To scrub with finer precision, press the
Command key while scrubbing.
