Pro Tools Movie Track
Pro Tools with AVoption|V10 can import files
created in a compatible Avid video application
(such as Media Station|V10) into the Pro Tools
Movie track.
Avid Movie Track in Pro Tools
The Movie track holds the video clips you add
into Pro Tools. A Pro Tools session can only con-
tain one Movie track.

■
Choose Movie > New Avid Movie Track.
The new, empty Movie track appears in the Edit
window.
To name the Movie track:
1
Double-click the Track Name button to open
the Name and Comments dialog.
2
Type a name (and any optional comments),
then click OK.

button in the Edit window.
2

You cannot change names of clips after they
have been added to the Movie track. When
added, clips retain the name they were given by
the original Avid application.
