Chapter 4: Using Help
Pro Tools Help provides quick access to work-
flows and reference information. Built-in search
capabilities and an index are included to better sup-
port your Help needs.
The Help system is HTML-based and runs on most
common web browsers. When running in
Pro Tools, it automatically uses the in-application
Web browser. You can also run Help from outside
Pro Tools, using another browser (such as Safari or
Explorer).
Accessing the Help System
There are several ways to access the Help system.
• Open Help at its Welcome page from the Help
menu in Pro Tools
• Open Help at its Welcome page from within a
Help browser in Pro Tools
• Open Help at its Welcome page outside of
Pro Tools
• Open a different version or language of
Pro Tools Help
To open Help within Pro Tools, do one of the
following:
 Choose Help > Pro Tools Help.
 From the Pro Tools Online browser window
(which can be accessed by choosing any of the
Help browser commands in the Help menu),
choose
Help.
To open Help outside of Pro Tools (or to select a
different version or language of Help):
1 Open your favorite online browser (such as
Safari or Explorer).
2 Visit the Pro Tools Help launch page
(http://apps.avid.com/ProToolsHelp/).
3 Follow the on-screen instructions to open a ver-
sion of Help.
To close the Help system:

The Pro Tools in-application Web browser
is not available outside Pro Tools. To use
Pro Tools Help while Pro Tools is not
running, use the default Web browser for
your operating system.
