Healing Separated Clips
The Heal Separation command returns separated
clips to their original state—provided the clips are
still next to each other and their relative start and
end points have not changed since the separation.
If you have trimmed or otherwise changed the start
or end points of the two clips, or moved them fur-
ther away from each other, you will not be able to
repair them with the Heal Separation command. It
is not possible to heal two clips created from dif-
ferent audio files.
To heal a separation between two clips:
1 With the Selector tool, make a selection that in-
cludes part of the first clip, the entire separation
between the clips, and part of the second clip.
2 Choose Edit > Heal Separation.
If the clips do not heal with Heal Separation, do one
of the following to return the separated clips to a
single clip:
 Delete one of the two separated clips (verify
that Slip mode is enabled so the gap does not
close) and use the Trim tool to expand the re-
maining clip to its original length (see “Using
the Trim Tools” on page 549).
 Delete both of the separated clips and drag the
original clip from the Clip List to the original
location (see “Placing Clips in Tracks” on
page 819).
Trimming Clips
In addition to the Trim tools (see “Using the Trim
Tools” on page 549), Pro Tools provides several
options for editing clip and clip group boundaries.
Trim to Selection Command
The Trim to Selection command removes data be-
fore and after a clip or MIDI note selection, leaving
only the selection. This command lets you quickly
remove all data in a clip (and in some instances the
entire track) except for the current selection.
To trim unwanted data from a clip or note:
1 With the Selector tool, select a portion of a clip
or note (or a range of notes).
2 Choose Edit > Trim Clip > To Selection to
remove material outside of the selection.
Press Control+H (Windows) or
Command+H (Mac) to Heal Separation.
