Cut Special
The Cut Special commands let you cut just auto-
mation data from the current selection (without
associated audio, video, or MIDI notes) and
place it in memory to paste elsewhere. Choices
include:
Cut Clip Gain Cuts clip gain settings, so that you
can apply the clip gain settings from one clip to
any other. Clip gain settings cannot be cut
across clip boundaries.
All Automation Cuts all automation or MIDI
controller data whether it is shown or not.
Pan Automation Cuts only pan automation or
MIDI pan data whether it is shown or not.
Plug-In Automation Cuts only plug-in automa-
tion that is shown.
Copy Special
The Copy Special commands let you copy just
automation data from the current selection
(without associated audio, video, or MIDI
notes) and place a copy of it in memory to paste
elsewhere.
Copy Clip Gain Copies clip gain settings, so that
you can apply the clip gain settings from one
clip to any other. Clip gain settings cannot be
copied across clip boundaries.
All Automation Copies all automation or MIDI
controller data whether it is shown or not.
Pan Automation Copies only pan automation or
MIDI pan data whether it is shown or not.
Plug-In Automation Copies only plug-in automa-
tion that is shown.
Paste Special
The Paste Special commands offers several op-
tions for pasting audio, MIDI, and automation
data into another clip, in the following ways:
Merge Pastes MIDI controller data from the
clipboard to the selection and merges it with any
current MIDI controller data in the selection.
This can be useful for consolidating MIDI data
from several tracks into a single MIDI track.
Repeat to Fill Selection Pastes multiple itera-
tions of audio, video, or MIDI data from the
Clipboard to fill the selection. If you select an
area that is not an exact multiple of the copied
clip size, the remaining selection area is filled
with a trimmed version of the original selection.
This allows you to easily create drum loops and
other repetitive effects. Before the data is
pasted, Pro Tools prompts you to specify a
crossfade to smooth transitions between clips.
To Current Automation Type Pastes the automa-
tion or MIDI controller data from the clipboard
to the selection as the current type of automa-
tion or continuous MIDI data. This lets you copy
one type of automation data to another, or one
type of continuous MIDI data to another type of
continuous MIDI data.
Clear Special
The Clear Special commands let you clear just
automation data from the current clip. Choices
are:
Clear Clip Gain Clears the clip gain settings for
the current Edit selection. This resets the clip
gain for selection to 0 dB. For clips only par-
tially included in the Edit selection, only the
clip gain settings within the Edit selection are
affected.
