Rules for Stereo and Multichannel Clips

Stereo and multichannel clips, whether imported or recorded into Pro Tools, are displayed as single items in the Clip List. For example, two mono source clips named “Main Piano.L” and “Main Piano.R” are listed as “Main Piano (Stereo).” An expand/collapse triangle indicates stereo and multichannel clips.

Stereo and multichannel clips are displayed in the Clip List by default in collapsed view. The individual clips can be displayed by clicking the arrow to the left of the clip to expand the name.

 

Stereo clips, expanded (top) and collapsed (bottom)

Press Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows) while clicking the expand/collapse triangle.

Individual items of an expanded-view stereo or multichannel clip can be selected independently of the other associated clips in the Clip List.
