The Trimmer Tool
The Trimmer tool provides region, note, and
data trimming functions.
Pro Tools TDM systems provide three Trimmers,
including the Standard, Time, and Scrub Trim-
mer. Pro Tools LE provides the Standard and
Time Trimmers.
The Trimmer is constrained by boundary re-
gions, regardless of the current Edit mode, as fol-
lows:
•Trimming towards the left is constrained
by the adjacent region's left-most bound-
ary (region start).
•Trimming towards the right is constrained
by the region's right-most boundary (re-
gion end).
Standard Trimmer
With the Trimmer tool, you can quickly shorten
or expand a region (up to the entire length of
the source audio file). The first time you trim a
region, Pro Tools automatically adds it to the
Regions List as a new region (with a name de-
rived from the original) in order to differentiate
it from the original.
The Standard Trimmer is a nondestructive tool
and doesn’t actually modify the original audio
or MIDI data (when working on regions). To re-
turn to the length of the original region, drag it
from the Regions List, or resize the edited region
with the Trimmer to its original length.
