Redefining Current
Feet+Frames Position
Use the Current Feet+Frames Position command
to redefine the Feet+Frames position at the cur-
rent insertion point (or starting point of a
selec- tion).
Redefining Feet+Frames does not redefine
the session start time.
Typically, this command is used for integrating
test tones, pre-roll, Academy leader, and similar
pre-program material into Pro Tools sessions.
To set a relative frame position for a session
(Feet+Frames):
1
With the Selector, click in a track (or make a
selection) where you want to redefine the posi-
tion.
If your insertion or selection is not on a
frame boundary, it will round to the closest
boundary.
2
Choose Setup > Current Feet+Frames Position.

Use Subframes Option
When spotting or shifting material in Pro Tools,
or using the Go To dialog, enable the Use Sub-
frames option for greater precision.
Shift dialog with the Use Subframes option enabled
A subframe is 1/100th of a frame. The Use Sub-
frames option enables you to use these smaller
units for greater accuracy. When enabled, this
command adds a decimal and two decimal
places of additional time for subframes in
SMPTE and Feet+Frames–based fields in the
Spot, Shift, and Go To dialogs.
Half-Frame Grid/Nudge
Capability
Pro Tools includes an additional grid resolution
of 1/2 Frame to allow for quick alignment of ma-
terial against the Time Code ruler.
