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.
