Importing 5.1 mov files into ProTools 10
Ive downloaded some trailers from the internet and I want to be able to import them into Protools with each of their 6 channels separate. How can I import them into Pro Tools? I've done it before (with PT 9) but PT 10 gives me an error. Is there some sort of workaround?
Also, Ive confirmed that the original files are 5.1 in Quicktime Pro and it plays back on my 5.1 system.

I was able to split the channels up before but I don't remember how I did it. I know it was done with Quicktime and ProTools 9

Re: Importing 5.1 mov files into ProTools 10
Every time I try to import the mov files into ProTools 10, I get the following message in regards to imported the audio from the mov file:
Could not complete your request because Assertion in "/Volumes/Development/ws.ProTools_10.0.1/AlturaPorts/NewFileLibs/FileFormat/MacBuild/../../FF/Audio/Processing/FF_AudioProcessReadFiles.cpp",line 283.

Re: Importing 5.1 mov files into ProTools 10
Dude,
you are not understanding. The audio is not an audio file. It is an encoded file. Most likely and AC-3 file. So when PT is trying to determine what file type it is, it is saying, "This is not a proper audio file". AC-3 is an encoded file. It needs a decoder to play it. Quicktime has this built in. So Quicktime is decoding it into 5.1. AC-3 encodes to a stereo file, but if you were to listen to it undecoded it would be nothing but noise. Pro Tools will not split an AC3 encoded file into audio files. Final Cut used to have this thing called A-Pack that would take an AC-3 file and convert it into split audio files. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't. Try MPEG streamclip. If I remember, it would decode AC3's into split files, but you have to run it for each set of pairs. |

You can export the individual channels from Quicktime 7.

Pro Tools 9 runs on OS SL. Snow Leopard is QT 10. I don't see that option in QT 10

Perfect. How do I export each individual channel from Quicktime 7? I have Quicktime Pro v7.6.6. Do you know how to export it from QT7?

Re: Importing 5.1 mov files into ProTools 10
When I select Save as there are several options to choose from. Ive tried it with some options to no avail. What option should I choose that will allow me to export all 6 channels?
