Prepare DPE
(DestructivePunch-Enabled)
Tracks
(Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools with
Complete Production Toolkit Only)
This command prepares a track for Destructive
Punch recording by consolidating all Destruc-
tive-Punch-enabled tracks from the beginning
of the session to the value specified in the De-
structive Punch File Length preference.
Transport Online
This command arms the Pro Tools Transport for
online synchronization. Playback or recording
can then be triggered by an external timecode
source. Online recording or playback begins as
soon as Pro Tools receives and locks to timecode
or ADAT sync.
Video Track Online
This command enables and disables playback of
the main video track. You may want to give
higher priority to screen updates for other
Pro Tools tasks (such as metering, moving fad-
ers). With QuickTime movies, you may want to
disable a video track to freeze the video at a par-
ticular point in time relative to Pro Tools play-
back.
Video Out FireWire
(QuickTime Movies Only)
This command plays the current QuickTime
movie out the FireWire port. You may want to
do this to have a Digital Video deck, monitor, or
camcorder record or display DV (digital video)
playback from Pro Tools.
Scrub in Video Window
This command opens a Scrub window, which
displays the Avid video at quarter-resolution,
but accurately scrubs the video. When the Scrub
window is open, video output alternates auto-
matically between the Scrub window and the
video reference monitor depending on whether
or not you are scrubbing.
When scrubbing, the video reference monitor is
black. When leaving Scrub mode, the Scrub win-
dow disappears and video is routed to the video
reference monitor.
Pre/Post-Roll
This option enables pre- and post-roll playback.
Pre- and post-roll amounts can be entered in the
Transport window, set from a track’s playlist or
Timebase Ruler, or by recalling a Memory Loca-
tion.
For a list or supported DV FireWire
transcoders, visit our website
(www.avid.com).
The Scrub window is only available in
Pro Tools systems with a qualified Avid
DNA
™
video peripheral (such as AVop-
tion|V10 or Mojo
®
), and when there is Avid
video or QuickTime video in the main video
window.
