Importing Audio, MIDI, Video,
and Region Groups
In Pro Tools 7.2, the process of importing audio
files, MIDI files, video files, and Region Groups
has been streamlined with new Import Options
dialogs.
Importing Audio Files and Regions
To import audio files or regions into a session
using the Pro Tools File menu:
1 Choose File > Import > Audio.
2 In the Import Audio dialog, select an audio file
to display its properties and associated regions.
3 To audition a selected file or region before you
import it, click the Play and Stop buttons in the
Import Audio dialog.
4 Do any of the following:
• To place a file or region in the Import list,
select the file and click Add or Convert.
• To import all files and regions in the cur-
rent directory, click Add All or Convert All.
• To remove a file or region from the Import
list, select it and click Remove.
• To remove all files and regions, click Re-
move All.
5 When you have added all audio files and re-
gions to the Import list, click Done.
6 If you are copying or converting files, choose
a location for the new files. Choose a folder on a
valid audio drive, such as the Audio Files folder
for the current session.

where the imported files will go in the session:
New Track Creates a new track where the file or
region will be imported.

Region List, where it will be available to place
into tracks.
