Chapter 7: Clip Menu 35
Identify Sync Point and
Remove Sync Point
This command places a Sync Point at the current
cursor location. When you identify a sync point,
a small down arrow appears at the bottom of the
clip, with a vertical, light grey line indicating
the location of the sync point. This Sync Point
can then be used as the reference point—nudge,
spot, move, and so on—instead of the clip start
or end. When you choose this command, the
current SMPTE time is automatically entered as
the SMPTE location for the Sync Point.
To remove a Sync point from a clip, select the
clip with the Grabber and choose
Clip > Remove
Sync Point
.
Clip Gain
Pro Tools provides separate commands for by-
passing and rendering clip gain.
Bypass Clip Gain
This command lets you toggle the bypass state of
selected clips. When clip gain settings are by-
passed, the clip is played without gain adjust-
ments, but settings are preserved.
Render Clip Gain
This command applies clip gain settings to the
corresponding audio and resets the clip gain to
0dB.
Quantize to Grid
This command adjusts the placement of a se-
lected audio or MIDI clip in a track so that its
start point (or Sync Point, if it contains one)
precisely aligns to the nearest Grid boundary.
Grid units are chosen from the Grid pop-up
menu in the Edit window.
Elastic Properties
This command lets you view the Elastic Audio
properties of any clip on an Elastic Audio–en-
abled track. You can also edit Event markers for
Elastic Audio.
You can Right-click the Clip Gain icon for
any individual clip to access relevant clip
gain commands for that clip. The Clip Gain
Icon Right-click menu operates indepen-
dently of the Clip Gain sub-menu that is ac-
cessible when Right-clicking on an Edit se-
lection. For information, see “Editing Clips
and Selections” in the Pro Tools Reference
Guide.
