While performing an automation pass,
Pro Tools lets you write current automation val-
ues from the current insertion point forward to
the next automation breakpoint, or back to the
punch point (the location in the track where au-
tomation writing started).

Write Automation to Next Breakpoint lets you
update automation within a track without over-
writing automation located earlier or later in the
Timeline, and without having to define a selec-
tion before editing automation.
‹
Write Automation to Punch Point lets you fill
back an automation value within a track after
finding the right level or setting during an auto-
mation pass, without having to go back and re-
peat the pass.
