Capturing Automation Values for

tracks (except those tracks with their Automa-
tion Mode set to

Capture and Trim Mode
The
Capture
and Punch Capture commands
work with Trim automation in the same way as
regular automation. Pro Tools saves Trim status
when capturing, so if you attempt to punch cap-
tured Trim values while displaying a non-Trim
automation playlist, Pro Tools will automati-
cally apply the values to the corresponding Trim
playlist.
