Funny Region naming with A1-A2 file names
Heloo all,
PT 7.2 TDM question- I've imported a ton of Fostex multichannel dailies as WAVs, and they all have file names ending with .A1.wav .A2.wav etc. When I drag them into a session, they all get names ending with ".A1.A1" or ".A2.A2" and the audio regions won't bundle-up, though they all have the same length and original timestamp. What might be going wrong? Jamie

go into the region list and change the suffix to .L and .R

Re: Funny Region naming with A1-A2 file names
Pro Tools bins regions together when their names end with A1 A2 A3 (this is a 7.2 feature). When we imported the files, Pro Tools automatically named the files .A1.wav .A2.wav. .A3.wav etc. And, it was binning them up by these.
But now, if I import the files "TONE.A1.wav" and "TONE.A2.wav" into a session, it names the clip in the audio list "TONE.A1.A1" and "TONE.A2.A2" and does not bin them, as it did when we imported them. Me and Scott Wood had a conversation about this very feature when they were beta-ing it, and multi-mono Fostex/Deva files are supposed to be named .A1 and .A2. Something's going wrong on the import, though.

Re: Funny Region naming with A1-A2 file names
this is the case with Deva files as well-
It seems the channel designation is recognized, but it (PT) sees each file as a mono file (vs stereo). The only solution I can think of is re-naming them, which could correct the binding. charles maynes

Re: Funny Region naming with A1-A2 file names
This is interesting. If I go through a bundle of 6 A1, A2 ,A3.. named files and rename the regions, taking the extra ".A1" off, it will bundle them together, so I think there may just be a problem with the importing. This has worked before, I'm trying to figure out if there's some setting I'm missing.
