In this free video tutorial, Pro Tools Expert team member Julian Rodgers demonstrates how to use two features of Pro Tools to speed up the process of checking edits for issues.

Tab

Using the tab key without tab to transients engaged moves the insertion point to the head or tail of the next clip on that playlist. This is a quick way to advance to the next edit point.

Pre-Roll

If the tab key is used then playback can be started from each edit point, however issues on an edit will happen across the edit so something else needs to be added - pre-roll.

By adding a couple of seconds of pre-roll playback will start slightly before the edit, allowing playback across the edit.
