Chapter 16: DigiBase 325
Each of the folder types in the Project browser has
an Expand/Collapse icon. Clicking the icon shows
or hides all of the files in the sub-group. The fold-
ers displayed in the Project browser are session-
specific groupings of files, not physical folders on
disk.
Locating Parent Files of Clips
The Project browser can be set to automatically
highlight the parent file of any clip selected in the
Pro Tools Clip List.
To highlight the parent file of a selected clip:
1 Select a clip in the Clip List. If the Clip List Se-
lection Follows Track Selection
preference is en-
abled, you can select a clip on a track.
2 From the Clip List menu, select Select Parent in
Project Browser
.
About the Project Browser
No Drag and Drop to the Project
Browser
To import a file from another DigiBase browser
into the current session, you must drag files to the
Timeline or Clip List. You cannot import a file into
a session by dragging it to the Project browser.
(You can, however, spot files from the Project
browser into the current session using drag/drop.)
Deleting Items in the Project Browser
Deleting items in the Workspace browser or in
Volume browsers deletes the files from disk.
Video and session files cannot be deleted in the
Project browser.
Deleting an item from the Project browser lets you
remove items from the current session, or delete
them from disk (using the Pro Tools Clear Clips
dialog).
Copy and Relink Restrictions
In the Project browser, the Copy and Relink com-
mand (in the Browser menu) cannot be used on
session files, or on offline audio files. Use the Re-
link window to first bring items online. In addition,
the
Relink Selected command cannot be used on
session files.
Updating the Project Browser
The Project browser is automatically updated
whenever a file is added to or deleted from the ses-
sion, so it is always fully indexed and up to date.
When the Select Parent in Project Browser
option is enabled, the Project browser auto-
matically highlights the parent file of any file
or clip selected in the Clip List.
For instructions on searching, sorting, and
working with the Project Browser, see
“Project Browser” on page 324.
