Join Skye Lewin for an in-depth discussion in this video Using the Selector and Grabber tools, part of Pro Tools 11 Essential Training.
The Selector and Grabber tools are very likely the edit tools that you…will use most frequently for editing, manipulating,…and playing back material in Pro Tools.…Let's choose the Selector tool.…You can also choose this by selecting the F7 button or you…can use the key command, Cmd+3 on a Mac, or Ctrl+3 in Windows.…As I'm sure you know by now from the previous movies, we can move…the Selector tool onto any track and click anywhere, and set the playback cursor.…When you press the spacebar or tell ProTools to…start playing, ProTools will begin playing right from that location.…
You can also click and drag with the Selector tool to…make a selection and playback will be confined to the selected area.…If Pre-roll and Post-roll are on, we can also toggle Pre and Post-roll…by using the key command Cmd+K on a Mac, or Ctrl+K in Windows.…
With Pre-roll and Post-roll on, you can see…that Pro Tools will start playback by a…designated amount before the selection and end playback…by the designated amount after the selection ends.…
