Here’s another quick video to demonstrate a key automation feature from the PTHD7.2 release. Its called Preview mode. Many clients want to audition a change in their automation from region to region, scene to scene, before committing to “Writing” it. The most common way of doing that pre-7.2 was to suspend your automation, find the sweet spot for your settings, then Write them to your selection and re-engage automation.
Preview mode allows you to skip the “suspend automation” step, and “dynamically suspends” only the parameters of your mix that you touch. So you can hear your changes in the context of your mix, without turning off global automation families like Inserts or volume.

“ICON Bootcamp” up next…
Is it also possible to write the movement within the selection that is being previewed, or is it only for the one value of automation?
Hi Nenad, hope you are well!
Unfortunately, using preview mode is like an “audition pass”, so any movements you make are not stored.
You can punch at a point and then write from there, or punch/write to all with a value you are happy with – so it tends to lend itself more to writing static values within a given selection.
Hope that helps!
