Track freeze is freezing too much
When I freeze a track that only has a few bars of audio, the resulting frozen clip is about four times the length of the original clip. I understand that there could be effects trails that linger for a few seconds, but the frozen track is extending for a full minute beyond the original track.
Is there a reason why the frozen track is so much larger than the original? |

OK. According to the manual, it appends an entire minute to the end of the clip:
"Freezing Audio and Instrument Tracks60 seconds? That seems like an unnecessarily long amount of time. I'd love to know if there is a way to shorten that amount. |

Just put an output fade the length you want. Or use fader (automation)

Thanks, but it appends 60 seconds AFTER the track is completely silent. I'm not sure how a fade would help.

Re: Track freeze is freezing too much
If you are concerned about the possible noise in the background you can automate the channel mute or volume. Most times I just don't care or simply commit and trim the resulting audio.

I'm not worried about the noise. It's just that each frozen track gets extended with 60 seconds of silence.
I guess it's not really hurting anything, but I wonder if it taking extra time or disk space to hold all of that extra silence. |

Re: Track freeze is freezing too much
is there ever going to be a protools that works at least 95% of the time avid has got to get their software on point its not the cheapest and it needs to work sticking with 11HD for a while!

Re: Track freeze is freezing too much
As usual, some of the people in these threads don't bother considering the post before replying. I have the same problem when freezing tracks. Another arcane and stupid programming dysfunction from Avid and their increasingly frustrating-to-use software. Why does it do this? No one knows. Maybe not even Avid. It's a shame, I've been using Pro Tools for over 22 years and with every subsequent revision, more whack-a-mole issues start appearing affecting stability and whereas up and coming DAWs like UA's Luna are being built upon tons of user input and common sense features - sporting the agility to make quick revisions and turns in deference to their user base - here we are in version 2020.5 and Avid keeps sucking worse and worse. As soon as UA gets through a few more revisions of Luna, I have a feeling Avid will be seeing a lot more users jumping ship. I know I will be. "Arbitrary 60 seconds of blank at the end of a frozen region"? F'ing ridiculous. Thanks again, Avid! Oh, and your integration with UA's plugins and hardware leaves a lot to be desired. Guess you all would rather suck on sour grapes than get your act together. Smh.

Re: Track freeze is freezing too much
Back to the original question, it might be worth analyzing what you use Track Freeze for(could there be a better way to work?). My own take on Track Freeze(after using it quite a bit, early on), is that I am not a fan and only use it when I really need to, and I will unfreeze as soon as is possible. I do use Track Commit(especially the Commit up to this plugin option) a lot, which does allow for treating selected clips(for avoiding blank areas). If I plan on revisiting(why you want freeze instead of commit), I'll use the option to make the original track inactive, but not hidden. Just food for thought

Re: Track freeze is freezing too much
I just came across this issue.
freeze files too long... useless silence at the end. Time consuming... Isn't it possible to freeze the edit section ?
