Edit Commands
Pro Tools provides many standard edit com-
mands (such as cut, copy, and paste). Pro Tools
also many specialized edit commands that are
optimized for audio and MIDI production (such
as Repeat Paste to Fill).
Cut, Copy, Paste, and Clear
Use the Cut, Copy, Paste, and Clear commands
to rearrange and edit track material. Edits can
operate on entire regions selected with the Time
Grabber tool, or on track ranges selected with
the Selector tool. Edits can also work across mul-
tiple tracks (see “Editing Across Multiple Tracks”
on page 448).
Expanding a selection to new tracks
For detailed information on how each of
these options expand to new tracks, see the
Field Recorder Workflow Guide.
