For more information, see the following topics:You can create video clips that function in much the same way as audio clips.
A video clip is a segment of video data, and can be a portion of video or an entire video file. In Pro Tools, video clips are created from QuickTime, Windows Media, or Avid video files, and can be arranged in corresponding video track playlists. Video clips can also be grouped, looped, and color coded.When using Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools with Complete Production Toolkit, or Pro Tools with an Avid video peripheral, you can add, edit, and change viewing options for video clips in the same ways as audio clips. All edits to video clips are nondestructive. (See General Video Editing for more information.)Just like audio clips, video clips display in Pro Tools in the Clip List or the Timeline.When using Pro Tools, the following limitations apply to video clips:

You can add only one video clip to a session. It can be played back, but cannot be edited and will not be listed in the Clip List.
![]()
When you import video or open a session created by Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools with Complete Production Toolkit, or Pro Tools with an Avid video peripheral, only the main or first available video track containing QuickTime clips will be imported. You can play back and view multiple clips, and tab through clip boundaries. However, you cannot edit them. (See Using Pro Tools to Import Video from Other Versions of Pro Tools for more information.)
