Pro Tools Feedback Ideas

The Ability to record in the "Clip Source Window" a wild mono or stereo track, where the clip ends up in the Clip menu or a specified folder i.e Wild VO Records, saves a lot of time and maintains a clean timeline, rather than having to navigate through unneeded extra

tracks and clips on the timeline which is very time consuming. please see attachment.

All parameters of Strip silent window (Strip Threshold, Minimum Strip Duration, Clip Start Pad, Clip End Pad) can only be edited with cursors, (with more precise edit using Cmd key (On Mac))

It's good but it would be better if we can edit these parameters in a numerical way. It would be more precise an more Quick.

Come on Avid, pass some little time to improve the use of your pro toy.

Have a feature in the Memory location window to put a clip separation everywhere there is a memory location marker for a highlighted track.

 

For those of us who edit LOTS of voiceovers, I will make separations at all the memory locations (bad parts in the script) so that when I'm editing....I don't move all the audio further down stream, causing it to be off it's marker.

The resulting Fade-Out of the red clip should be the original length of the Crossfade (should sound the same), but the fade is instead trimmed to the middle of the Crossfade (half as long).

 

If instead the red Clip is cleared, then the same problem applies for the resulting Fade-In-Length of the blue clip: Only half of the previous (and expected) fade-length remains.

Suggest to add a user created directory of folders in the clip bin. Drag and drop - moving parent or sub-clips into folders for easier management of files in the pro tools main window.

Select Clips by Color will really help to extent your workflow.

- When recording dialogue/Foley/Soundscapes and selecting the best takes.

- Preparing ADR & Foley tracks

- Export different stems all over your session.

- And way more options

 

And to finish this idea, Make the colors available for Apple Script or Something else programmable.

 

Thanks AVID!

I need a function to select all the muted clip in the edit window in one time.

once all muted clip are selected, i can delete them, copy them in another place or in another playlist, color them, etc...

 

The focus is to clean a big session of post prod where all the non-used clips of multitacks audio files are muted.

But it should be usefull in another context.

Thanks

It would be great if there were a user defined folder for frequently used audiosuite plugins on the right click menu for clips. Having access to these favorite audiosuite plugins via the right click menu could make oft repeated processes much quicker to access.

Create new keyboard shortcut to move a clip vertically without cutting and pasting.

For example I intend to make a song "A". I create session then create instrument or audio track. I start sketching some ideas

And in the play process often I born completed ideas that do not fit the song "A" for some reason but it can be great idea for song "B". Select clip(s) and "Export selected clips as New Session" option would be great))

It would be cool to have the option to have the waveform of a clip updated so it shows the the changes made with clip effects. Waveforms would look the same as if you rendered the clip effect only you don't have to render and can easily change clip effects parameters later on

When you hit command + opt + G and group a series of clips, it's currently to hard to distinguish that group short of the tiny little text at the top left, that many of us with high res monitors can barely see.

I propose that when you group clips, that group is either colored differently or at the very least has a slightly different (darker or lighter shade) than the rest of the clips on that track.

Add the feature to HIGHLIGHT clips and sub clips in the clip bin. One can currently attach a color 'side-bar' to a clip but it would be great to be able to actually highlight clips with different colors.

The clip border of the underlying clip could be a dotted line.
That dotted line could be reached by a TAB.
Like one can Tab to crossfade start and end already.
So, with a Tab to the underlying clip start and a Shift-Tab to the end of the overlaying clip, that selection could be used for a crossfade.
Maybe as a preference : Tab to clip boundaries, Sync Points, Fade borders AND underlying clip boundaries.

Clip gain value is normally shown in the left-lower corner of each clip. This happens when no clip gain breakpoints are present in the audio clip; otherwise, no value is shown.

Unfortunately, any value is shown in Windows systems in any case.

 

I observed this in Windows 7, 8, 10; Pro Tools 10, 11 (I have not tested PT12 yet).
