ProTools

ProTools is a TV post production software, that enables you to put sound effects, or new dialogue from ADR (Additional Dialogue Recording as I like to think of it). The suite in my university runs ProTools 9. This is a fairly up to date version, but has a lot of bugs, as we found out when we were trying to use it. It does crash a lot. Our tutor recommended staying with 8.5 until they get round to fixing the problems properly.
