Improvements to the
Pro Tools Help Menu
With Pro Tools 10, the Help menu provides easy
access to online resources in addition to the lo-
cal resources that are installed with Pro Tools.
To access the Pro Tool online resources from the
Help menu:
 Click Help and choose one of the following:
•
Pro Tools Help
•
Pro Tools Knowledge Base
•
Avid Audio Forums
Pro Tools Help
The Pro Tools Help command provides access to
web-based Pro Tools Help within the Pro Tools
web browser. This means that you will always
have access to the latest Pro Tools Help files as
they become available (independently of major
Pro Tools releases). You will also have access to
localized Pro Tools Help files as translations be-
come available. Note that web-based Pro Tools
Help defaults to the English version if your lo-
calized language is not currently available.
If you are not connected to the Internet,
Pro Tools will open the local English Help files
that are installed with Pro Tools.
Pro Tools Knowledge Base
The Pro Tools Knowledge Base command pro-
vides access to the online Avid Knowledge Base
using the new Pro Tools in-application web
browser. The Avid Knowledge Base provides ex-
tensive information for you to solve any prob-
lems you may encounter with Pro Tools (includ-
ing compatibility information and software
updates).
Avid Audio Forums
The Avid Audio Forums command provides ac-
cess to the online Avid Audio Forums using the
new Pro Tools in-application web browser. The
Avid Audio Forum provide a broad-based user
community where you can interact with other
Pro Tools users.
