Video Features
Complete Production Toolkit 2 enables addi-
tional session and track features for working
with video in Pro Tools.
Video Track Support
Complete Production Toolkit 2 adds the follow-
ing video track support to Pro Tools:
• Multiple video tracks in the Timeline
• Multiple QuickTime movies on individual
video tracks
• Multiple playlists for video tracks
Multiple Video Tracks in the
Timeline
You can add multiple video tracks to the Time-
line, but only one video track can be played back
at a time. This track is known as the main video
track.
Multiple Video Track Playlists
Playlists provide an easy way of changing back
and forth between alternate versions of a video
track.
You can perform all of the same operations with
video playlists as you can with audio playlists,
including:
• Duplicating a playlist
• Creating a playlist
• Assigning a playlist to another video track
• Renaming a playlist
• Deleting a playlist
Multiple Codecs on an Individual
Video Track
A single video track can contain video regions
compressed with different video codecs of the
same type of video. For example, you can add
QuickTime files that were compressed using
multiple codecs to the same video track.
However, once the first video file has been
added to a session, all additional video files
added to the Timeline must have the same video
frame rate as the first video file.
For more information on working with
Pro Tools sessions and tracks, see the
Pro Tools Reference Guide.

detailed information on playlists.
