Midi Import not working correctly

[federico]

Hi,
I don't know why this forum does not let me post a new thread. This is the closest to my problem. I created a midi file (standard midi file) in Finale Music Notation Software. When I try to open it in Pro Tools it will not recognize the file. I click import----> midi and the file does not show where it is saved in my drive. I tried type 0, and type 1, but it does not work. I may think it's a format problem. The files exported from Finale says it's standard midi file in a Mac, in a PC it says midi sequence. If I export a midi file form Pro Tools it will recognize it back to it. But not from Finale. If this is a format problem, is there a free converter for this?
Thanks.

MIDI is MIDI no matter where it comes from with the only difference being there is a MIDI type 0 (zero) and MIDI type 1 (one) file format. I've only ever used type 1 files in PT that I downloaded from the net. I usually just use the import command in PT. What PT version are you using and on what computer & operating system?
