Audio and MIDI clips can be moved, cut, and duplicated non-destructively on the timeline (edits change the clip organization on the timeline, but source files are not overwritten).{{Sfn|Avid|2019|p=653–664|loc=30. Editing Clips and Selections}} [[Audio time stretching and pitch scaling|Time stretching]] (TCE), [[pitch shift]]ing, equalization, and dynamics processing can be applied to audio clips non-destructively and in real-time with Elastic Audio{{Sfn|Avid|2019|p=695|loc=44. Elastic Audio}} and Clip Effects;{{Sfn|Avid|2019|p=949–950|loc=43. Clip Gain and Clip Effects}} gain can be adjusted statically or dynamically on individual clips with Clip Gain;{{Sfn|Avid|2019|p=941|loc=43. Clip Gain and Clip Effects}} fade and crossfades can be applied, adjusted and are processed in real-time. All other types of audio processing can be rendered on the timeline with the AudioSuite (non-real-time) version of AAX plug-ins.{{Sfn|Avid|2019|p=929|loc=42. AudioSuite Processing}} Audio clips can be converted to MIDI data using the Celemony [[Melodyne]] engine; pitches with timing and velocities are extracted through melodic, polyphonic, or rhythmic analysis algorithms.{{Sfn|Avid|2020|p=1011–1013|loc=46. Extract MIDI from Audio}} Pitch and rhythm of audio tracks can also be viewed and manipulated with the bundled Melodyne Essential.

MIDI notes, velocities, and controllers can be edited directly on the timeline, each MIDI track showing an individual piano roll, or in a specific window, where several MIDI and Instrument tracks can be shown together in a single piano roll with color-coding. Multiple MIDI controllers for each track can be viewed and edited on different lanes.{{Sfn|Avid|2019|p=787|loc=35. MIDI Editors}} MIDI tracks can also be shown in [[musical notation]] within a score editor.{{Sfn|Avid|2019|p=805|loc=36. Score Editor}} MIDI data such as note quantization, duration, transposition, delay, and velocity can also be altered non-destructively and in real-time on a track-per-track basis.{{Sfn|Avid|2019|p=780|loc=34.

Video files can be imported to one or more video tracks and organized in multiple playlists. Multiple video files can be edited together and played back in real-time. Video processing is GPU-accelerated and managed by the Avid Video Engine (AVE). Video output from one video track is provided in a separate window or can be viewed full screen.{{Sfn|Avid|2019|p=1355–1357|loc=60. Working with Video in Pro Tools}}
