convert mac session to avid-friendly omf

[mrmann]

I'm trying to export my pro-tools session to an avid system that can import my tracks (via omf). Does this work? Any pitfalls? What I should I look out for? Thanks a ton!

Hi mrmann ,

you can convert a PT session to a omf sequenz with digitranslator from digi.

Hello,

As mentioned you can use DigiTranslator to export tracks from Pro Tools as an OMF document.

With DT installed:

-Select the tracks you would like to export
-Go to FIle > Export Selected Tracks as OMF
-Check "Enforce Avid compatibility"
-Confirm that the Target Project timecode format is correct
-If you are going to a Mac based Avid use either SDII, AIFF or Embedded
-For a Windows based Avid use either AIFF, BWF or Embedded
-Hit ok and name the OMF


On the Avid:

When importing a sequence that was exported from a Pro Tools session (Export Selected Tracks as OMF), always drag the resulting audio media files into the OMFI Media Files folder on the Avid first. Then go to File > Import OMF.


I hope this helps.

Mike
