Preparing to Work with SMPTE

The first step when preparing to work with SMPTE is to choose an appropriate SMPTE frame rate. Pro Tools supports all standard SMPTE frame rates. If you are working with SMPTE striped tape, it is important to know the frame rate. In some cases, a SYNC peripheral can be used to do this.

For a full explanation of SMPTE frame rates, see the Pro Tools Sync & Surround Concepts Guide.
