Ruler Views
Rulers are horizontal displays that appear in the Timeline display area of the
Edit window, just above your tracks display. Pro Tools’ Rulers provide
measurement indicators to help you identify specific locations in your
session’s Timeline. You can display or hide any combination of the following
Rulers in the Edit window:
▪ Bars|Beats. This Ruler is useful for music editors, composers, and
musicians.
▪ Min:Sec. This Ruler is useful for radio or for those who need to measure
in absolute time.
▪ Samples. This Ruler displays the system’s smallest editing resolution.
▪ Time Code and Time Code 2. These Rulers are primarily used for
video and film post-production.
▪ Feet+Frames. This Ruler is also used for video and film postproduction
work.
▪ Tempo. This Ruler allows you to specify changes in tempo within the
session.
▪ Key Signature. This Ruler allows you to specify key changes within the
session.
▪ Chord Symbols. This Ruler allows you to add chord symbols to the
session to indicate chord changes.
▪ Meter. This Ruler allows you to specify changes in meter within the
session.
▪ Markers. This Ruler allows you to create markers to identify and recall
important track locations and view settings within the session.
Additional information on Rulers is provided in the “Time Scales and
