Editing in Pro Tools
Next, you will do some editing on your project. In the following sections, you
will use the Zoomer, Trim, and Scrubber tools to modify the project so that it
sounds more complete.
Review the Project
Before you begin editing this project, you should familiarize yourself with
the progression of the movie. To do so, you can navigate along the Timeline
to get a feel for the movie’s transitional points.
Because Pro Tools provides a nonlinear editing environment, you can
instantly jump to any point on the Timeline at any time. You can use the
Selector tool to click at different points within the project and use the Video
window to view the action based on the location of the playback cursor.
Experiment with the Selector tool to update the Video window:
▪ Click on various parts of the Video track with the SELECTOR tool to get a
rough idea where the main action transitions fall on the Timeline. Use the
SPACE BAR to control playback.
▪ Experiment with making selections on the Video track and the Audio
tracks; try to select a scene from beginning to end and play it back.
Tip: The Video window will always reflect the start time of a Timeline
selection. When you are making a selection based on the Video
track, you may find it useful to locate the end point first and select
backward to the start.
