Unfortunately it's still leaving the top of the edit window as it is in my screenshot. Maybe it just can't expand any further and I'm stuck with it like that?

Not sure what else it could be. Let me take a wild guess I found it helpful to make a screenshot of the menu so I got the exact spelling and punctuation correct, as you must type it exactly how it appears in the drop-down menu. Make sure your upper and lower-case characters are right as well as any full stops.

Now press the key combination you want to use in this case. You should make sure that you are not using a shortcut already assigned from the standard menus, remembering the not-so-obvious ones too. Quit System Preferences and launch Pro Tools again, and all being well, you should see your newly added shortcut in the menu. If a particular shortcut has already been allocated for that particular application, your new one won't 'take', and you won't see it appear in the menu against the appropriate item.

If you are thinking of trying this feature out, here are a few words of warning! If your chosen menu item has three full stops at the end, as is the case with 'Delete Selected Tracks This is why my Delete Tracks shortcut doesn't have Alt in it.

Some shortcuts also do other things. For example, my Delete Selected Tracks These options can be linked or unlinked by clicking on the chain icon located on the right side of the window. When the two options are unlinked and the Speed is adjusted, a clip's playback speed will change while the In and Out points remain the same.

When the two options are unlinked and the Duration is adjusted, a clip's Out point will move while the playback speed remains the same. If the two options are linked together, changing the Speed value will automatically adjust the Duration and move a clip's Out point to match the new playback speed.

If you change the Duration the clip's Speed will also change to fit the new duration. You can enable the snapping option by clicking on the Snapping icon that is located in the Editor Panel.

Using the Editing Tools The clips you add to the timeline often contain extensive amounts of material you have no intention of using in the final cut of your video. Selecting Clips One or more clips can be selected with the Select Tool. To select a video or an audio clip, simply click on it. A previously selected clip will be deselected if you click on a new clip. Multiple clips can be selected by holding the Ctrl button while clicking on clips you'd like to select.

After you've selected multiple clips you can drag the selection box to a new destination on a video or audio track. The timeline will automatically scroll in the direction in which you're dragging the selection box. Hold the Alt button and drag the selection box up or down to start scrolling vertically through video or audio tracks.

This technique is just scratching at the surface of what Revoice Pro can do. You can use it to pitch correct audio as well. If you do a lot of this kind of work then Revoice Pro is well worth taking a look at. But hopefully I have also shown that it is possible to get different audio takes in sync with each other just using the tools that are built into Pro Tools.
