For some reason, using the up-and-down arrow keys to drop a selection does not work. When I play a song, and press down arrow, it is reading me the edit window. I do not know why this is happening. Could someone please suggest something. I rolled my system
back to Mojave after a catastrophic install of Catalina. Maybe I missed something in the pro tools set up.

Hi Jimmy,
The most important bit of information one needs to be aware of when trying to edit in Pro Tools (aside from the various settings which I won't mention right now) is that there needs to be an insertion point in order for the arrow keys to affect a selected track. when, for example, audio is imported into a session, it absolutely, categorically does not have an insertion point, even though the track is technically selected. Providing edit selection follows track selection (under the Options menu), use Control semicolon or Control P to move focus to a neighboring track and back again. This will create an insertion point in the selected track. From that point on, the arrows will select the edit range not only in the timeline ruler but also in the selected track. If you don't have a neighboring track, create a dummy track just for the purpose of moving to it. You can also deselect the track and select it again. That should also do it, it's just that two quick keystrokes are much faster.
HTH,
Slau

What I'm trying to do, is Mark up the session with markers. Everything is selected right under the edit menu as far as it needs to be. When I press play after doing control P and control semicolon and try to press down arrow it's just reading me the window.

Make sure you don't have QuickNav on. Press both left and right arrow together and check. Sounds like that might be the issue?

Yes, that was the problem. Can you suggest any documents that I can read to gain further knowledge of all this voice over and pro tools stuff? PDF files are hard for me to read on the Mac. I hate to ask so many questions, I would like to have
some resources that I can read and answer my own questions.

Do you use the iPhone or any kind of I device?
Do you use flotools or have you heard of Protools with speech?
I read PDF files with my phone and other devices not on computer.
These other suggestions have great documentation or should I say they are great documentation on how to deal with questions like I see you ask.
Are you listening to podcast on this as well?

Hi Jimmy,
I'm out of the country on a project right now. I'll be back at the end of the week and will hook you up with some html versions of the manuals.

Yes i have an iPhone! I am new to ProTools and a Mac computer. Just dove in all at once without learning voiceover first. Just swimming along.

Hi Slau:
A happy Sunday to you. I would like the HTML version of the manual as
well if you don't mind. I'll be more than grateful for it. Thanks.
Best,
Dammie
