Displaying Trim Automation Along
with the Main Playlist
The appearance of Trim automation depends on
how it is set to be coalesced. See “Coalescing
Trim Automation” on page 70.
If Trim automation is not set to coalesce after ev-
ery automation pass, you can display Trim auto-
mation data along with the main Volume or
Send level automation data in the same automa-
tion view. This Trim automation display cannot
be directly edited.
To display the Trim automation playlist along with
main automation playlist on tracks:
■ Choose View > Automation > Trim Playlist.
Displaying the Composite
Automation Playlist
If Trim automation is not set to coalesce after ev-
ery automation pass, you can display a compos-
ite automation playlist that shows the contribu-
tion of the Trim automation to the main
Volume or Send Level automation data. This
composite playlist display cannot be directly ed-
ited.
The composite playlist is shown in both the
main automation playlist and the Trim automa-
tion playlist.
To display the composite playlist:
■ Choose View > Automation > Composite
Playlist.
Trim Automation Modes
The Trim automation modes in Pro Tools work
in combination with the other Automation
modes (Read, Touch, Latch, Touch/Latch and
Write). Behavior of these modes also depends
on the Coalesce Trim Automation preference
setting. When a track is in a Trim automation
mode (except for Trim Off) its main Volume fad-
ers and all Send level faders are displayed in yel-
low.
Trim Off
Trim Off turns off reading and writing of all au-
tomation (main and trim) for a track. All auto-
mation moves are ignored during playback.
Trim faders are temporarily set to zero when a
track is set to Trim Off mode.
Depending on the Coalesce Trim Automation
preference setting, changing a track to Trim Off
can coalesce Trim automation on that track. See
“Coalescing Trim Automation” on page 70.
