Source Tracks
This area of the dialog lists the tracks in the
source session that can be imported, each with a
corresponding pop-up menu.
Operation/Destination Track Pop-Up
Menus
For each source track, there is a corresponding
pop-up menu that lists options for importing
the track and, with Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools
LE with Complete Production Toolkit or DV
Toolkit 2, possible destination tracks in the cur-
rent session. The pop-up menus display the fol-
lowing items:
Do Not Import Neither the source track nor any
of its attributes are imported.
Import as New Track The source track and all at-
tributes selected in the Track Data to Import pop-
up menu are imported into a new track in the
current session.
Destination Track Names (Pro Tools HD and
Pro Tools LE with Complete Production Toolkit or
DV Toolkit 2 Only)
The names of possible desti-
nation tracks in the current session are listed at
the bottom of the pop-up menu. Imported play-
lists and all attributes selected in the Track Data
to Import
pop-up menu will be placed in the des-
tination track you select.
Only destination tracks that match the track
type (audio, Instrument, MIDI, Auxiliary Input,
or Master Fader) and the channel format (mono,
stereo, or any of the supported multichannel
formats) of the source track appear in the pop-
up menu.
Matching Tracks
(Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools LE with Complete
Production Toolkit or DV Toolkit 2 Only)
If you are importing playlists from source tracks
with the same name as destination tracks in the
current session (such as a new cut of a scene),
click Matching Tracks to automatically match the
track names. Tracks must have the same name,
track type, and channel format to be automati-
cally matched.
Track Data to Import
(Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools LE with Complete
Production Toolkit or DV Toolkit 2 Only)
The Track Data to Import pop-up menu is where
you select which attributes of the selected tracks
you want to import into the current session.
Selected attributes are applied to all tracks that
you choose to import into the current session.
Replacing Track Attributes
When you import an attribute of the source
track into an existing track in the current ses-
sion, it replaces the corresponding attribute in
the destination track. If you choose not to im-
port an attribute of the source track, the corre-
sponding attribute in the destination track is re-
tained.
Replacing Track Path Names
When you import a track’s input, output, send
output or hardware insert assignments, any cus-
tom path names and I/O configurations from
the source session are not imported. You can im-
port path names and I/O configurations by im-
porting I/O Setup settings. For more informa-
tion, see “Working with I/O Settings Files” on
page 71.
