New playlists won't let me name efficiently
Hi,
When I watch videos of other people using playlists, they get a popup upon creating a new playlist that prompts the title of the new playlist (and matches all tracks with track name, for example, kick.c) I'm running PT 10.0 and I can't do this! When I hit new, the playlist is automatically created with a number (.02) afterwards. Naming a track "kick.c" will only change the name of that track in the playlist, it won't cascade like I see everyone else's doing. What gives? |

I've never known Pro Tools to automatically increment playlist names that are appended alphabetically - it only does it numerically. For example, if you have a track named Kick, and you add a new playlist, the new playlist will be automatically named Kick.01. Add another playlist, and it will be automatically named Kick.02. The problem with this is that it put the playlist names numerically out of sync, with the actual playlist numbers, which can be particularly confusing if you are trying to switch to a group of different takes etc. It looks like this : Kick (playlist 01) Kick.01 (playlist 02) Kick.02 (playlist 03) The trick is to name your original playlist, appended numerically. I tend to include "Tk" as an abbreviation of "Take" : Kick Tk.01 (playlist 01) Kick Tk.02 (playlist 02) Kick Tk.03 (playlist 03) |

Yes, I've tried doing this while in a group, and while selecting a series of track using the shift key when selecting to affect them all. |

Re: New playlists won't let me name efficiently
I hedge my bets on this as sometimes(as with grouped tracks) creating a new playlist bypasses naming. My sessions, session templates and track templates are all track-named with .01 on each track(as in "kick.01", "Bass.01", "BGV1.01", etc.). Doing this makes it easy for me to see what take any playlist is because each subsequent playlist will be the next higher number("Kick.02", "Kick.03", etc)
