Looping Audio with Avid Video
Present

When working with a session containing Avid
video, you can now select and loop a portion of
audio without having the loop selection snap to
video frame boundaries. For example, you can
create a loop lasting exactly four bars regardless
of where the video frame boundaries lie.

To make an audio selection that does not snap to
frame boundaries:

1

Make sure that Grid mode is not set to

Feet+Frames.

2

With the Selector tool, select the track range

you want to loop in an audio track, making sure
not to include any video tracks in the selection.

3

Enable Loop Playback by doing one of the fol-

lowing:

• Select Options > Loop Playback. When en-

abled, a loop symbol appears in the Play
button in the Transport window.

• Right-click (Windows) or Control-click

(Mac) the Play button in the Transport win-
dow.

• With the Numeric Keypad mode set to

Transport, press 4 on the numeric keypad.

4

Click Play in the Transport window.

Including any video in the selection will
cause the selection to snap to the video
frame boundary during playback.
