Session Setup Window

The Session Setup window lets you configure various timecode-related settings on your system, as well as certain session format settings (such as bit depth, pan depth, audio format, and interleaved). The window also includes display-only areas for session sample rate, system delay, and timecode-related data (such as incoming time).

The Session Setup window is organized into three sections. The Format section is at the top of the window. The SYNC Setup & Session Offsets section, and the Timecode Settings section, can be shown or hidden using their dedicated expand/collapse triangles.

From a Pro Tools session, choose Setup > Session.

Press Control+2 (Windows) or Command+2 (Mac) to open the Session Setup window.

To expand SYNC Setup & Session Offset section:

Click the SYNC Setup & Timecode Offsets expand/collapse triangle.

The controls in this section configure settings of Synchronization Peripherals. Settings are provided for Clock and Positional Reference, Video Ref Format, Video In Format, and Variable Speed Override.

To show Timecode Settings section:

Click the Timecode Settings expand/collapse triangle.

The controls in this section provide timecode generation and freewheel options, and separate pull up and down selectors for audio and video rates.
