Chapter 15: Working with Regions and Selections 197
✽ If the Editing Preference for “Regions List
Selection Follows Track Selection” is enabled,
you can highlight a region in the Regions List
by selecting it in a track.
3 Choose Rename Selected from the Re-
gions List pop-up menu.
4 When prompted, enter a new name for
the region. If a whole-file audio region was
selected, specify whether just the region is
renamed, or the region and the disk file.
5 Click OK to rename the region. If renam-
ing multiple regions, you are prompted,
successively, to rename each region.
Auto-Naming Parameters
You can specify the auto-naming parame-
ters for a region when new regions are cre-
ated from it in the course of editing.
To set auto-naming parameters for a region:
1 Select a region in the Audio or MIDI Re-
gions List.
2 Choose Auto Rename Selected from the
Regions List pop-up menu.
3 In the Auto-Rename dialog, enter the
text to be used when naming regions cre-
ated from the selected region.
Name Determines the root name for the
auto-created regions.
Auto Number Start Sets the start number for
the sequentially numbered new regions.
Leading Zeros Determines the number of
zeros that occur before the auto numbers.
Suffix Specifies text to be appended to the
end of the name, following the auto num-
bering.
4 When you are finished, click OK to ac-
cept the new naming parameters.
Hiding and Removing Unwanted
Regions
In the course of editing a session, the Audio
and MIDI Regions Lists can fill up quickly
with regions—ones you’ve created pur-
posely and those that are automatically
created by cutting, pasting, and separating
other regions. Pro Tools allows you to hide
or remove regions in your session so you
don’t have to scroll through unnecessarily
long Regions Lists.
