Pro Tools lets you exchange clips in the main playlist on tracks with matching alternate clips from other playlists associated with the same track, from other tracks, or from the Clip List. Matching alternate clips are clips that meet certain criteria. For example, clips that have the same User Time Stamp are matches.
There are several ways to create matching alternate clips in Pro Tools:
|
When punch recording (audio or MIDI), Pro Tools creates matching clips for the original clip (if any) and the new punch recorded clip.
|
|
|
When loop recording (audio or MIDI), Pro Tools creates multiple matching clips for each recording pass.
|
|
|
When duplicating playlists (audio or MIDI), there will be matching alternate clips between playlists.
|
|
|
When importing multichannel audio from a field recorder, there will be matching alternate clips between channels.
|
Pro Tools also provides several ways to access and audition multiple matching alternate clips:
|
|
Use the Clip Right-click menu to select matching alternate clips according to certain criteria.
|
|
|
Use the Alternate Takes pop-up menu to select matching alternate clips.
|
|
|
Use the Expand Alternates to New Tracks command to copy matching alternate clips to new tracks.
|
|
|
Use the Expand Alternates to New Playlists command to copy matching alternate clips to new alternate playlists on the same track. Then use Playlists view to access the alternate playlists.
