In addition to previous items from Pro Tools 7.4cs1, cs2, cs3, and cs4, the following is included in Pro Tools HD and LE 7.4cs5 for Mac and Windows:
Modified: Expand to New Tracks by Time Code Only
Expand To New Tracks By Time Code Only capability lets you expand a track or selected region to new tracks, revealing all other regions recorded at the same time code location, regardless of channel name or number. In previous versions, other metadata needed to match in addition to time code for this feature to work.
Please Note: Time code features in Pro Tools LE require optional purchase of DV Toolkit 2.
Background
This approach is useful when expanding edited guide tracks to original source audio which was recorded while referenced to time code, but channel names or numbers were not written to the audio files. For example, when a live concert is recorded in Pro Tools, then a guide audio track is edited along with the video, then the edited guide track is returned to Pro Tools and needs to be expanded to the original source tracks for mixing.
Additional Information
Please see the "Expand to New Tracks by Time Code Only Read Me" included with the downloads (and separately on the download pages) for important additional information, including:
Typical Workflow
Relinking the Original Unedited Guide Track
Known Limitations with Expand to New Tracks by Time Code
Note: Pro Tools LE owners that have already installed 7.4cs4 that do not own DV Toolkit 2 do not need to install 7.4cs5. If you do not own DV Toolkit 2, but have not yet updated to 7.4cs4, you can still update to 7.4cs5, which includes all of the fixes from 7.4cs4.
