Additional Commands and
Features
The following commands are available in all
MachineControl operating modes.
Redefine Current Time Code Position
The Redefine Current Time Code Position com-
mand lets you redefine the session start time. By
creating an insertion point (or selection) and
then entering a new time code value for that lo-
cation, the session start time will be recalculated
based on the new, relative time code location.
For example, if you place an insertion point at
01:02:04:11, select Edit > Redefine Current Time
Code Position, and enter 01:00:08:00 to corre-
spond to the first frame of film, this adjusts the
session start time such that the insertion point
location is now 01:00:08:00.
To redefine the current time code location:
1 Enable Link Edit/Timeline.
2 Locate Pro Tools to the beginning of the rele-
vant material (usually the first audio of a scene,
a 2 pop, or similar).
3 If appropriate, cue the external time code
source to the appropriate location (this will be
the location to which you want to align the cur-
rent Pro Tools insertion point). Note the time
code location, or copy it to the clipboard.
4 Choose Edit > Redefine Current Time Code
Position.
5 Enter the new time code position.
6 Click OK.
Create Machine Track Arming Profile
The Create Machine Track Arming Profile com-
mand lets you create and save machine descrip-
tions as Machine Profiles. Profiles are provided
for an ever-increasing list of common machines,
or you can customize profiles for specific situa-
tions and requirements. Options include the
ability to emulate a different machine type,
remap and rename audio tracks, and choose to
include or exclude the video and time code
tracks, when available. For more information,
see “Creating a Track Arming Profile” on
page 30.
