Pro Tools: Creating sync points for spotting

A sync point in Pro Tools is a point in an audio region that can be used as a spot point. In short you can spot a part of a region as opposed to just the beginning or ending.

To create a sync point do these things.

Use the scrubber or selector tool to find a place in a region you would like to place a sync point.When you find the place, take your hand off the mouse button but make sure the song position pointer is still placed where you want the sync point. If you are using the selector tool you can't do this making a "selection", you have to simply place the playhead where the sync point is to go.

Go to Region/Identify Sync Point in the top menu. This will create the sync point.



The sync point will be displayed via blue triangle in the region.



Now if you select the grabber tool and use spot mode you can choose sync point as the part to spot your region.
