Pro Tools Reference Guide312
Video Files Folder Contains any video files refer-
enced by the session.
Each of the folder types in the Project browser
has an Expand/Collapse icon. Clicking the icon
shows or hides all of the files in the sub-group.
The folders displayed in the Project browser are
session-specific groupings of files, not physical
folders on disk.
Locating Parent Files of Regions
The Project Browser can be set to automatically
highlight the parent file of any region selected
in the Pro Tools Region List.
To highlight the parent file of a selected region:
1 Select a region in the Region List. If the Region
List Selection Follows Track Selection preference is
enabled, you can select a region on a track.
2 From the Region List menu, select Select Par-
ent in Project Browser.
About the Project Browser
No Drag and Drop to the Project
Browser
To import a file from another browser into the
current session, you must drag files to the Time-
line or Region List. You cannot import a file into
a session by dragging it to the Project browser.
(You can, however, spot files from the Project
browser into the current session using
drag/drop.)
Deleting Items in the Project Browser
Deleting items in the Workspace browser or in
Volume browsers deletes the files from disk.
Video and session files cannot be deleted in the
Project Browser.
Deleting an item from the Project browser lets
you remove items from the current session, or
delete them from disk (using the Pro Tools Clear
Regions dialog).
Copy and Relink Restrictions
In the Project Browser, the Copy and Relink com-
mand (in the Browser menu) cannot be used on
session files, or on offline audio files. Use the
Relink window to first bring items online. In ad-
dition, the Relink Selected command cannot be
used on session files.
Updating the Project Browser
The Project browser is automatically updated
whenever a file is added to or deleted from the
session, so it is always fully indexed and up to
date.
When the Select Parent in Project Browser
option is enabled, the Project browser auto-
matically highlights the parent file of any
file or region selected in the Region List.
For instructions on searching, sorting, and
working with the Project Browser, see “Proj-
ect Browser” on page 311.
