Vertical Zoom Buttons Zoom the track heights
proportionally in the Edit window.
Horizontal Zoom Buttons Zoom the Timeline just
like the Horizontal Zoom controls in the Edit
window toolbar.
Audio and MIDI Zoom In and Out Buttons
Pro Tools also provides Audio and MIDI Zoom
In and Out buttons in the upper-right corner of
the Edit window. These controls function ex-
actly the same as the Audio and MIDI Zoom
controls in the Toolbar, and let you zoom in and
out vertically on audio waveforms and MIDI
notes respectively.
Edit Window Default Length
Pro Tools lets you set a default length for the
Edit window in hours, minutes, seconds, and
frames (Pro Tools HD or Pro Tools LE with DV
Toolkit 2 or Complete Production Toolkit only).
This is useful if you want to assemble a session of
a particular length or leave extra room to ex-
pand the Edit window’s work area in your ses-
sion. The maximum length is 12 hours and 25
seconds at 48 kHz, and proportionally less at
higher sampling rates. For best scrollbar sensi-
tivity, set the length to slightly longer (a minute
or more) than the total session or song length.
To set the default length for the Edit window:
1 Choose Setup > Preferences.
2 On the Display page, enter the value in hours,
minutes, seconds, and frames for the Edit Win-
dow Default Length
setting.
3 Click OK.
Transport Window
The Transport window can be set to show basic
transport controls, counters, MIDI controls, and
expanded features. The counters in the Trans-
port window mirror the controls and counters at
the top of the Edit window.
To display the Transport window:
„
Choose Window > Transport.
