How do you promote a selection from an alternate playlist to the Main Playlist?

• A. Press the playlists copy selection to main playlist button
• B. Drag clips to the main playlist
• C. Copy to clipboard and paste into main
• D. Use the 'Export to Main' command

Answer: (A)

In Pro Tools, you promote content from an alternate playlist by copying the selected region from that alternate playlist into the Main Playlist. The way to do this is to select the desired portion on the alternate playlist and press the button labeled Copy Selection to Main Playlist. This action copies that region into the Main, effectively making it the active material for that spot on playback. The rest of the Main Playlist remains unchanged, so you’re only updating the chosen region with the alternate’s content. Other approaches like dragging clips, copying to the clipboard and pasting, or an Export to Main command aren’t the standard workflow for promoting a selection to the Main; the direct Copy Selection to Main action is the correct method.
