5 Click OK to rename the region. If renaming
multiple regions, you are prompted, succes-
sively, to rename each region.
Auto-Naming Options
You can specify the auto-naming options for a
region when new regions are created from it in
the course of editing.
Auto-naming of regions does not affect the
names of parent audio files. Instead, it stores
pointers to the regions within the parent source
file.
To set auto-naming options for a region:
1 Select a region in the Audio or MIDI Regions
List.
2 Choose Auto Rename Selected from the Re-
gions List pop-up menu.
3 In the Rename Regions dialog, enter the text
to be used when naming regions created from
the selected region.
Name Determines the root name for the auto-
created regions.
Number Sets the start number for the sequen-
tially numbered new regions.
Zeros Determines the number of zeros that oc-
cur before the auto numbers.
Suffix Specifies text to be appended to the end of
the name, following the auto numbering.
4 When you are finished, click OK to accept the
new naming options.
Hiding and Removing Unwanted
Regions
In the course of editing a session, the Audio and
MIDI Regions Lists can fill up quickly with re-
gions—ones you’ve created purposely and those
that are automatically created by cutting, past-
ing, and separating other regions. Pro Tools al-
lows you to hide or remove regions in your ses-
sion so you don’t have to scroll through
unnecessarily long Regions Lists.
Hiding Auto-Created Regions
You can hide regions that were automatically
created during the course of editing.
To hide auto-created regions:
■ Deselect Display > Display Auto-Created Re-
gions. With this option deselected, only user-
created regions appear in the Audio and MIDI
Regions List.
User-defined regions include:
• Whole-file regions
• Regions created during recording
• Imported regions
• Renamed regions
• Regions created as a result of AudioSuite pro-
cessing
• New regions created with Capture Region and
Separate Region commands
• Regions created by trimming whole-file audio
regions
