Scrolling Options
Pro Tools offers the following options for how it
scrolls the contents of the Edit window during
playback and recording. Choose Operations >
Scroll Options and select one of the following
from the submenu:
No Auto-Scrolling The Edit window does not
scroll during or after playback. The playback
cursor moves across the Edit window, indicating
the playback location.
Scroll After Playback The playback cursor moves
across the Edit window, indicating the playback
location. When playback has stopped, the Edit
window scrolls to the final playback location.
Page Scroll During Playback The playback cursor
moves across the Edit window, indicating the
playback location. When the right edge of the
Edit window is reached, its entire contents are
scrolled, and the playback cursor continues
moving from the left edge of the window.
Continuous Scroll During Playback
(TDM Systems Only)
This scrolling option causes the Edit window’s
contents to scroll continuously past the play-
back cursor, which remains in the center of the
window. With this option, playback is always
based on the Timeline selection (unlike Contin-
uous Scroll With Playhead).
Continuous Scroll With Playhead
(TDM Systems Only)
This scrolling option causes the Edit window’s
contents to scroll continuously past the Play-
head, which is a blue line in the center of the
window (red when recording).
Scroll To Track dialog
Making a selection in the Timeline or a
playlist, or manually scrolling the Timeline
while in Page Scroll or Continuous Scroll

sume page scrolling and jump to the current
playback location, click the Playback Cur-
sor Locator in the Main Timebase ruler (see
“Locating the Playback Cursor” on
page 239).
