Project Browser
The Project browser displays and manages all
the files related to the current session, regardless
of what volume they reside on (see Figure 14 on
page 264).
The Project browser is similar to the Region List
in that it contains all files associated with a ses-
sion, with the added data, searching, and sort-
ing capabilities of Pro Tools browsers.
Unlike the Region List, however, individual re-
gions are not displayed in the Project browser
(in which only complete files are listed).
Use the Project browser and its Browser menu
commands to:
• View all media files associated with a ses-
sion
• Identify, select, and relink offline files
• Identify, select, copy, and relink Transfer
files
