Pro Tools Reference Guide130
Video Section
High Quality QuickTime Image (DV25 Only)
When enabled, Pro Tools decompresses both
fields of each interlaced frame of QuickTime
video. When not enabled, Pro Tools only decom-
presses one field of each frame for “half-res”
QuickTime playback.
When viewing a QuickTime movie in the
Pro Tools Video window, select this option to dis-
play the movie at the highest possible resolution.
For interlaced video that was transcoded from a
progressive source, enable this option for a crisper
image. Deselecting this option can help improve
performance if your system experiences problems
playing back a session with QuickTime video.
Avid Video Errors Stop Playback
(Pro Tools HD with Avid Video Engine Only)
When selected, Pro Tools automatically stops
playback of audio and video if a single frame of
video is dropped.
When not selected, Pro Tools continues playback
of audio even if frames are dropped. In most cases,
video playback will recover within a few frames
and continue playing audio and video in sync.
Avid Video NTSC Has Setup (NTSC-J)
(Pro Tools HD with Avid Video Engine Only)
This preference lets you adjust the level of NTSC
video black output between 7.5 IRE (standard) or
0 IRE. When this option is selected, output level is
0 IRE.
Record Section
Latch Record Enable Buttons When selected,
multiple audio tracks can be record-enabled. When
not selected, multiple audio tracks cannot be re-
cord-enabled. Record-enabling an audio track
takes all other audio tracks out of record-enabled
mode.
Link Record and Play Faders When selected,
Pro Tools does not remember separate fader levels
for tracks when they are record-enabled, allowing
you to maintain the same monitoring level for
tracks during recording and playback.
Audio Track RecordLock (Pro Tools HD and
Pro Tools with Complete Production Toolkit
Only)
This option configures Pro Tools tracks to
either emulate a digital dubber, or to maintain leg-
acy behavior for track record status.
• When selected, the record-enabled audio tracks
remain record-enabled when playback or re-
cording stops.
• When not selected, record-enabled audio tracks
are taken out of record enable when Pro Tools is
stopped. This prevents tracks from remaining
armed from pass to pass, emulating track record
behavior of a digital dubber.
