What’s New in Pro Tools HD 7.0 100
• When you paste a selection containing video
to a video track, the insertion point automat-
ically aligns with the closest video frame
boundary.
Renaming Video Disk Files
When renaming audio regions in either the
Timeline or the Region List, you have the option
of also renaming the audio files on disk. How-
ever, this does not apply to video files on disk.
To rename video files on disk, you must rename
them in a DigiBase browser, Windows Explorer,
or Mac Finder.
Inserting Black
In Pro Tools 7.2, the Insert Silence command
has been modified to let you insert black into a
video track.
This command allows you to make a selection
on a track (or tracks) and insert precisely that
amount of black. You can also select across
video and audio tracks, and use the Insert Si-
lence command to insert audio silence and
video black simultaneously.
In Shuffle mode, all video data on the track is
shuffled later in the track by an amount equal to
the selection.
In Slip, Grid, or Spot mode, the Insert Silence
command works just like the Edit > Clear com-
mand.
To insert video black into a track:
1 Make a selection in a track or tracks. The
length of the selection determines the duration
of the black inserted.
2 Choose Edit > Insert Silence.
Video Region Groups
With Pro Tools 7.2, you can include video re-
gions within region groups for the following op-
erations:
• Creating region groups
• Creating multitrack region groups (includ-
ing audio tracks)
• Editing region groups
• Creating fades and crossfades for audio files
in region groups
• Importing and exporting region group files
Multiple Undo for Video
Operations
Pro Tools 7.2 has added support to the Undo
queue for tracking video-related operations.
To undo the last operation, do one of the following:
■ Choose Edit > Undo.
– or –
■ Press Control+Z (Windows) or Command+Z
(Mac).
When you paste audio and video simulta-
neously, this video frame re-alignment may
result in the audio not being positioned ex-
actly where you placed it. A warning dialog
displays when this occurs.
See the Pro Tools Reference Guide for de-
tailed information on working with region
groups.
In previous versions of Pro Tools, the Undo
queue tracked only audio-related undoable
operations.
