Re: ProTools, Nuendo, Nuendo ProTools....
As I import consolidated tracks for a 6 reel feature into ProTools created in Nuendo because I've exhausted all methods for successfully exporting a usable OMF that translates properly, I have come to wonder how happy one would be in a more competetive market place. SloTools or whatever Nuendo users call it CAN be slow at certain tasks but having one system to rule them all makes workflow a lot easier. In a hypethetical future where nuendo, pro tools and even a 3rd app (STP?) had equal share of the market place could be a potential disaster if they chose not to play nicely together. I for one wouldn't want to live in a world where I had to manage editors and mixers on multiple DAW systems, let alone platforms. Maybe that is just a paranoid thread of thought. If we did have 3 equal options to choose from maybe they would be forced to integrate. I think most of us all agree that giving ProTools a run for its money is what the company needs however I imagine most of us also wouldn't want Nuendo or similar competitor to do such a good job that we would have to learn the darn thing to survive in the industry!
I did want to voice my interest in a face off between PT and nuendo. It could be like F1 or Nascar, the companies whip out their latest and greatest beta versions, overclock their processors and get some high profile Post sound teams together and see who can finish the same feature from start to finish first. Whoever wins gets Paid for their work ...ok so maybe not but hey it would make a great reality show Brett |

Did you try EDL Convert as I suggested? Probably not, because it makes transferring files to and from PT's and Nuendo a non-issue. I know, as I've done it. SO, you didn't REALLY exhaust all methods. |

Re: ProTools, Nuendo, Nuendo ProTools....
Yeah, actually I did try that program and it worked pretty good. As I said earlier I truely appreciat(ed) your post. However the project was coming from a very poorly managed nuendo session. The program is version 2.x not the latest and greatest. I downloaded the demo of ECP which only gives you 20 regions per OMF and after having to exporting 15+ omfs for each reel I had to go back and re export about half of them again as AES31 since it couldn't read the OMF correctly. The OMFs that did work had missing regions every once in a while and at the end of today I looked at the amount of time it would take to get this thing out and chose a different path. The previous Sound Editor had already exported consolidated tracks from Nuendo onto DVDs and since A. the guy lives in Armenia and B. The film was shot MOS and all of it over-dubbed negating my need for seperated regions I chose to go with the tracks. But your right, I didn't exhaust all methods. I could have hired you to do the conversion for me
FYI, that had nothing to do with my post. I actually was making the point that I am glad that I live in a world where I don't have to worry about these kind of conversions on a daily basis. If I did, I would probably learn some nuendo basics and buy ECP it seems really cool, you can basically transfer any type of EDL to any DAW system you can think of. However I'm sure it has its limitation like everything else. I wasn't really able to put it through its paces since it only allow 20 regions per omf. ok, now I am exhausted, Brett |

Re: ProTools, Nuendo, Nuendo ProTools....
OMF is the worst export option. AES31 and OpenTL are much better.
Export using eihter of those, and then convert into PT's 5. |

These are very pertinent and import questions- because stage editors are generally fairly busy- If they need to be somewhere else in the project how does their previouse updates continue to roll with the stage. If Nuendo can keep all those balls in the air, then I would say I am very impressed. If it cannot however, I must say the issue has not been addressed. cheers! charles maynes

I haven't had a chance to use this feature myself, but from what i understand, the updating happens in the background. Fairlights use to do the same thing with backups. |
