Selecting within Video Frame
Boundaries
Pro Tools does not let you select, play back, or
edit a partial video frame. The following rules
apply when selecting or editing video:
• When you make a selection in a video track,
the selection boundaries follow the current
Grid setting but round to the nearest video
frame boundary, as follows:
• If the selection includes more than half of a
video frame, the video frame is included
within the selection.
• If the selection includes less than half of a
video frame, it is not included in a video se-
lection.
• When you paste a selection containing video
to a video track, the insertion point automat-
ically aligns with the closest video frame
boundary.
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.

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.
Video Region Groups
You can include video regions within region
groups for the following operations:
• 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
See the Pro Tools Reference Guide for de-
tailed information on working with region
groups.
