General Editing Operations Not
Applicable to Video Regions
The following editing operations are applicable
to audio regions, but are not applicable video re-
gions:
• Renaming disk files in the Region List or
Timeline (available in all versions of
Pro Tools)
• Fades
• Mute/unmute regions
• AudioSuite plug-ins

Editing Caveats
The following caveats apply to video editing in
Pro Tools:
• MPEG-2 video in the Timeline cannot be
edited.
• If you create and enable a track group con-
taining audio and video tracks—and any
audio track has region boundaries that do
not line up with video frame boundaries—
you cannot tab through those region
boundaries.
Selecting and Editing Across
Multiple Audio and Video Tracks
You can create a selection across multiple audio
and video tracks, group video regions, and cut,
copy, or paste audio and video simultaneously.
Audio and video that is selected and cut, copied,
or pasted follow the current Edit mode.
