Importing Clip Group Files
Pro Tools | First can import the clip group file format (.rgrp). This lets you do the following:
• Separate clip group metadata from audio files to avoid unnecessary file copy operations when exporting audio clip groups composed from multiple source files.
• Export MIDI data as part of a clip group.
• Create multitrack loops.
Clip group files store the following metadata:
• References to all audio files within the clip group
• Clip names and relative location in tracks
• Embedded fades and crossfades
• Clip group names and format (single or multitrack)
• All MIDI data present in the clip group (such as notes, controllers, and Sysex)
• Track names
• Elastic Audio Warp markers and TCE factor
• Clip timebase (samples or ticks)
• Sync points
• Loops
• Tempo map
Clip group files do not store the following:
• Audio
• Automation
• Plug-Ins
• Track routing
• Meter map
• Clips List information
Pro Tools provides several ways to import clip groups into an open project:
