What does selecting Prepare DPE Tracks do to the target tracks?

• A. Consolidates the audio on the target tracks from the beginning of the session for the duration specified by the DP file length.
• B. Deletes audio outside the DP duration.
• C. Moves audio to a new location on disk.
• D. Changes the sample rate for those tracks.

Answer: (A)

The idea here is to get the tracks ready for the dialogue pre-edit by creating a clean, fixed-length representation. When you prepare DPE tracks, Pro Tools takes all the audio on each target track that falls from the start of the session and glues it into a single, continuous clip that spans the duration defined by the DP file. In other words, each target track ends up with one consolidated region covering that DP length, starting at the session start. It doesn’t delete anything outside that window, move audio to a new disk location, or change the sample rate.
