Preview Mode and “Write To”
Commands
The “Write Automation To” commands work as
follows with Preview mode:
Before punching preview values
The “Write Au-
tomation To” commands (except Write to Next
Breakpoint) can be used to extend previewed
values. The “Write Automation To” command
will only apply to isolated controls. Pro Tools re-
mains in Preview mode.
After punching preview values
The “Write Auto-
mation To” commands (except Write to Next

value in the same manner as other automation.
Capturing Automation
(Pro Tools HD Only)
You can capture current automation values at
one location in a session and quickly apply
them in another location with the Capture and
Punch Capture commands. The Capture com-
mand temporarily stores the value of all con-
trols currently writing automation, and the
Punch Capture commands writes those stored
values to all enabled automation types.
◆
ICON Systems allow for the capture of up to
48 different values, or snapshots .
◆
All other systems allow for the capture of a
single value.
Capturing Automation Values
You can capture the current automation values
of actively writing controls.
To capture automation values:
1
Make sure all tracks whose automation values
you want to capture are in a write-enabled state
(Write, Touch, Latch, Touch/Latch or Latch).
2
Make sure the automation types you want to
capture are enabled in the Automation window
(Volume, Pan, Mute, Send level, Send pan, Send
mute, or Plug-in).
