Here are some more details on using Right Click in Pro Tools. Part 1 is here and part 2 is here
Transport Window
There are contextual menus on four of the transport buttons accessible by right-clicking them. They work on the transport buttons on both the Transport window and the Edit window if you have the Transport function option selected from the View menu for the Edit Window.
Play
This shows the options for the Play button.
Half Speed – This is the same as Shift and Spacebar.
Prime for Playback – When playing back a large number of tracks,
Pro Tools can take a little while to actually start playing back audio. To avoid this delay you can put Pro Tools in Play Pause mode (Prime for Playback) so that when you do hit play you get an instant start.
Loop – This is the same as selecting Loop Playback in the Options menu and enables Pro Tools to play the same selection as a loop to help select a good loop point.
Dynamic Transport – This is the same as selecting Dynamic Transport from the Options menu. For more on the Dynamic Transport functionality see the Pro Tools workshop article in the May 2007 issue of SOS.
Record
This shows the options for the Record button and you can see that you can get to any of the record modes from the one contextual menu. As with most of the right-click menus there isn’t anything new but they bring together all the relevant options in one little menu. For more on QuickPunch and TrackPunch see the Pro Tools workshop article in the December 2006 issue of SOS and July 2008 for Destructive recording. Remember TrackPunch and Destructive Punch are HD only features.
Return to Zero & Go To End (HD only)
These show the options for these two buttons and they enable you to access automation commands that you would otherwise access from the Automation window.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
