If you will be renaming an auto-created re-
1
gion, select Show > Auto-Created in the Region

the Region List.

From the Region List pop-up menu, choose
3

4
name for the region. If a whole-file audio region
was selected, specify whether to rename just the
region, or both the region and the disk file.
Rename Selected dialog
Click OK to rename the region. If renaming
5
multiple regions, you are prompted, succes-
sively, to rename each region.
Auto-Naming Options
You can specify the auto-naming options for a
region when new regions are created from it in
the course of editing.
Auto-naming of regions does not affect the
names of parent audio files. Instead, it stores
pointers to the regions within the parent source
file.
To set auto-naming options for a region:
Select a region in the Region List.
1
Choose Auto Rename from the Region List
2
pop-up menu.
In the Rename Regions dialog, enter the text
3
to be used when naming regions created from
the selected region.
Rename Regions Selected dialog
Name Determines the root name for the auto-
created regions.

tially numbered new regions.

cur before the auto numbers.

the name, following the auto numbering.
Click OK.

Hiding and Removing Unwanted
Regions
In the course of editing a session, the Region List
can quickly fill up with many regions—with
ones you have created intentionally and also
with those that are automatically created by cut-
ting, pasting, and separating other regions, or
importing REX, ACID, or Region Group files.
Pro Tools lets you hide or remove regions in
your session so you do not have to scroll
through a long Region List.
