I wanted to update everyone on my findings regarding Apple’s new OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and Pro Tools. I installed Snow Leopard on my Macbook (2007 1.83 Core Duo) Which is running Pro Tools LE 8.0 cs3 via a Mbox Mini.

by Major on August 24th, 2009 in Keyboard Shortcuts, Post Production“Repeat to fill selection” is one of the most useful commands to use while editing. It is located in the edit menu under “paste special”, and can also be accessed using the shortcut option+command+v.
There are 2 handy ways to use this command…
Quick Video Import
by Evan on August 17th, 2009 in Keyboard Shortcuts, Post ProductionHold down the option key while dragging a video file onto the timeline, or bin to bypass the video import dialog in Pro Tools and automatically accept the defaults. This can be very handy when importing lots of video files.
Note: This only works from a digibase browser. ie: Workspace or Project browser. While not quite as handy, it’s still a time saver. Sorry for the confusion!
Toggle Transport Master
by Major on August 13th, 2009 in Keyboard Shortcuts, Post ProductionFor those of you using machine control, you can forget this annoying menu:
To toggle through the transport master option (Pro Tools/Machine/MMC) hit Command+Backslash (/)
It will make you smiiiiiiiiile!
Selectively Suspend Automation!
by Major on August 5th, 2009 in Keyboard ShortcutsIf you Command-Click on automation parameter in the track view selection menu, you can suspend automation for that parameter. Very handy, for example, when you want your mute automation to stop being annoying, or you don’t want a plugin’s bypass automation to fire. Note: This shortcut does NOT apply to all tracks with the addition of the option key.
Update: It totally works now:
Option+Command+Click disables that parameter on ALL tracks.
Shift+Command+Option+Click disables all automation parameters on every track!
Command-Click!
