Color coding channel strips

[poppy]

Been a while since I've been on this forum!

Anyway, I've seen some photos of the mixer in Pro Tools with each channel strip colored, I mean the full strip just just the bottom. How can I do this?

Hi,

I can't remember the exact modifier buttons and i'am away from my rig! but its along these lines so you'll find it...

open the color palete. now hold something like command+option+ click on the color palete. or command+control + click on the color palete. keep trying till you find it. in fact i think you click and drag on the color palete and the colors get darker etc.

If you don't fine it i'll be at my studio in an hour

I think it's actually Command+Option+Ctrl+Click and drag the mouse up and down for intensity.

Hope it helps,
Timothy

Bring up the color palate. Click on a color bar on a track that has a color on it. Move the curser to the little colored square that is now highlighted in the color palate. Hold down control/option/apple while you move the mouse up or down. The color intensity will go up and down as you move the mouse or trackball.

Actually it doesn't matter which colour you pick inside the colour palette - any will do.

double click on a color bar on a track in edit or mix window. in the color palette, click the little icon that looks like a rainbow (top of the color palette, and second from left) and all of a sudden all mixer and edit window tracks are colored.

the other short cuts didn't work for me. is this yet another PT HD vs native difference?

Click on the track then click the colour part at the bottom . the colours should show up. Pick a colour. Click on the rainbow this lets the "STRIP" become the same colour as the colour marker. Now go to preferences/display and in (at left) track default colour coding click track colour.

Now your tracks and strips as well as the waveform or all clips should all be the same colour.

If you have lots of tracks that you want the same colour you can do this all at the same time be clicking the first track while holding shift then click on the last track. They should all light up white (those are the tracks SELECTED)in the track name area. Then click at the bottom where the small colour shows when the colour menu comes up chose a colour now all of those tracks and waves or clips should all be the same.

You can adjust things in the colour pallet like brightness

Probably because the posts were 4 years old, and the architecture has changed...
