What’s New in Pro Tools HD 7.0 96
Bypassing the Video Import Options Dialog
You can bypass the Video Import Options dialog
when dragging video files from DigiBase brows-
ers only. Pro Tools adds video files exactly
where you drop them in the Timeline following
the current Pro Tools editing mode.
To bypass the Video Import Options dialog when
importing video into Pro Tools:
■ Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac) one
or more video files from a DigiBase browser into
the Region List or the Timeline.
Video Overlay on Import Session
Data
The Import Overlay New on Existing Playlists
option (in the Import Session Data dialog) has
been modified to apply to video regions.
When importing session data or an AAF or OMF
sequence, selecting this option lets you overlay
a video playlist on top of existing video regions.
Any existing playlist data that overlaps data im-
ported from the source track is trimmed and re-
placed with the imported data. Any playlist data
in the destination track that does not overlap re-
mains in the destination track.
Extracting Audio from QuickTime
Movies
(QuickTime Movies Only)
The Import Audio from Current Movie com-
mand, which let you import audio from Quick-
Time movies in previous versions of Pro Tools,
has been replaced.
To import audio from a QuickTime movie without
importing the video:
1 Choose File > Import > Audio.
2 In the Import Audio dialog, navigate to the
QuickTime movie from which you want to im-
port audio, and select it.
3 Under the Region section, click the name of
the audio region you want to extract from the
QuickTime movie, and click Convert Region or
Add Region.
4 Select other audio files as desired, and click
Done to import the audio.
The Audio Import Options dialog appears,
where you can choose whether to import the au-
dio to a new track or the Region List.
See the Pro Tools Reference Guide for de-
tailed information on region overlap and
underlap.
See “Importing Audio, MIDI, Video, and
Region Groups” on page 21 or the Pro Tools
Reference Guide for detailed information on
using the Import Audio dialog.
