Exporting Clip Definitions

[audiofreak11]

Hi,

I am hoping this is a simple oversight on my part, but I am having trouble exporting Clip Definitions. Maybe I am misunderstanding it, or doing something wrong?

I've imported a Stereo WAV file into protools using the Shift-Command-I, then hit the convert button (my only option) and imported the file to my session. I then dragged the file from the Clip Bin onto a stereo track. After highlighting a section of the clip, separating it, and renaming it, I tried to export the clip definition, so that when using the stereo track in another session, I could easily grab the part I wanted.

When I went back to the location where I got the original file that I had imported, there were no clip definitions on the file.

I did see the clip definitions of the file in my Audio Files folder though.

I was hoping to have the definition exported to the original file. Is this possible, or is this the way Pro Tools is set up? Can I do something in preferences to change this?

Thanks for your help!

Hmmm, anyone have any ideas, or is it too stupid of a question? lol

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

Clip definitions exist within the parent audio file and can only be accessed from the import audio dialog when the parent file is selected.
