Cant cut video in pro tools 12.6 native pro#
On the Pro Compressor, I have enabled the Monitor button, visible as a small speaker icon near the top-right corner of the compression display. For example, in Screen 2 I have an Avid Pro Compressor plug-in feeding an Exponential Audio R2 reverb plug-in. This can be a useful diagnostic tool, but it also has the potential to be used creatively. When you enable this option, you hear only the contribution that the plug-in is adding to the signal - in other words, the difference between the dry and the processed signal. There are a growing number of plug-ins that have a Monitor or ‘difference’ option. Note that this doesn’t work if you use the Grabber tool to move clips. However, Screen 1c shows what happens when I select Send To Back and then repeat the nudge: this time, the left-hand clip has gone underneath the right-hand clip.

In 1b, I have nudged the left-hand clip rightwards, and it has gone over the top of the right-hand clip. Screen 1c.Screens 1a and 1b show two adjacent clips. The Clip menu offers two options named Send To Back and Bring To Front, which relate only to how clips behave when nudged. When you are working with layered content in a program such as Photoshop, there is the option to change the order of the layers, and I was interested to learn that this feature exists in Pro Tools also. In this month’s Pro Tools workshop, I am going to share a number of less well-known tricks that I have picked up along the way, beginning with an option I wasn’t aware of until very recently: Send To Back or Bring To Front. We serve up a tempting menu of little-known Pro Tools tips, including some new features in 12.6.

Screens 1a-1c: You can choose whether nudged clips should cover up overlapping clips (1b), or be placed behind them (1c).
