Video Regions
You can create and edit video regions, which
function in much the same way as audio re-
gions.
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 or Avid files, and can be arranged in
corresponding video track playlists. Video re-
gions can also be grouped, looped, and color
coded.
You can edit and change viewing options for
video regions in the same ways as audio regions.
All edits to video regions are nondestructive.
(See “General Video Editing” on page 98 for
more information.)
Just like audio regions, video regions display in
Pro Tools in the Region List or the Timeline.
Video Regions in the Region List
A video region displays in the Region List with a
small video icon next to its name.
