New Right-Click Functions

The following Right-click functions are new or
have changed in Pro Tools 7.2.

Scrolling a Track into View

You can scroll a track into view on-screen by
Right-clicking its name in any of several loca-
tions.

To scroll a track into view:

In the Track List, or Mix or Edit window,

Right-click the track name and select Scroll into
View.

The track is selected, and the windows scroll as
follows:

• The Mix window scrolls to bring the se-

lected track as close to the left as possible.

• The Edit window scrolls to bring the se-

lected track as close to the top as possible.

Renaming I/O Paths from the Edit
or Mix Window

You can rename I/O paths directly from the Edit
or Mix windows by Right-clicking, without
opening the I/O Setup dialog.

To rename an I/O path:

1

In the Edit or Mix window, Right-click the In-

put selector or Output selector for a track, and
choose Rename from the pop-up menu.

2

In the Rename I/O dialog, enter a name for the

I/O Path, and click OK.

Snapping Regions or Selections to
Regions in the Edit Window

You can snap a region or Edit selection to other
regions in a track by Right-clicking. See “Snap-
ping Regions or Selections to Regions in the Edit
Window” on page 10.

Separating Regions in the Edit
Window

You can separate regions in the Edit window by
Right-clicking.

To separate a region:

1

Do one of the following:

• Left-click in a region with the Selector tool

to place the cursor at the separation point.

– or –

• Drag to select the area you want to separate

in a region.

2

Right-click near the cursor position or selec-

tion and choose Separate from the pop-up
menu.

In previous versions of Pro Tools, Right-
clicking in a region with the Selector tool
would scrub at the insertion point. To scrub
in a region, Start-click (Windows) or Con-
trol-click (Mac).
