Separate Grid Settings When Zoomed In
When this option is selected, the Grid setting
stored with Zoom toggle is recalled when zoom
toggling in. When this option is deselected, the
same (current) grid setting is used whether zoom
toggling in or out.
Zoom Toggle Follows Edit Selection
When selected, this option ensures that zoom tog-
gle automatically follows the current Edit selec-
tion. When disabled, changing the Edit selection
has no affect on the currently toggled-in track.
Using Zoom Toggle
Depending on the Zoom Toggle preference set-
tings, the Zoom Toggle button in the Edit window
lets you define a zoom state and toggle between it
and the current zoom state, or it zooms to the set-
tings in the Zoom Toggle preferences. When
Zoom Toggle is enabled, the Edit window displays
the stored zoom state. Additionally, any changes
made to the view while Zoom Toggle is enabled
are also stored in the zoom state.
When Zoom Toggle is disabled, the Edit window
reverts to the last zoom state.
To store a zoom state using Zoom Toggle:
1 Set the Zoom Toggle preferences.
2 Make an Edit selection.
3 Click the Zoom Toggle button. It lights to indi-
cate that Zoom Toggle is enabled and Pro Tools
zoom toggles in based on the settings of the
Zoom Toggle preferences.
If Last Used is selected for any of the following,
you can adjust the corresponding zoom, height, or
view in the Edit window to update the stored zoom
state:
• Vertical Zoom
• Horizontal Zoom
• Track Height

To modify the stored Zoom Toggle state if Last
Used is selected:
1 Make sure the Zoom Toggle button is lit (en-
abled).

ences are set to Last Used. Changes are stored
