OMF Parsing Errors/missing audio: PT10 / Adobe Premiere

[scullionj]

Never encountered this problem before.

Am using PT HD 10.3.6, picture is edited in Adobe Premiere 2015.1.

After multiple attempts at OMF export, I continue having an "OMF Parsing Errors Occurred" when opening in Pro Tools.

The effect seems to be that I am missing clips of audio in seemingly random locations.

We've tried encapsulated, keeping the audio format as .aif, referenced, basically everything.

Has anybody here dealt with a similar problem and found a solution?

We also tried AAF, but encountered the problem with every clip being named the same as whatever the first item in the timeline was (title_card.jpeg, etc).

Unsure if they've been using the Soundbooth/Audition method of saving out - it might not be in an option in their case, depending on whether or not they have it.

With PT10 and 11, we had problems with many, many aaf's from media composer, where random clips were missing. omf's were also unreliable. Unfortunately we never found the cause or reliable solution except to ask for new aaf's that contained ONLY the bits that we determined we needed. Most of the time, we'd get what we needed. Once or twice we had to ask for an audio file to sync by hand.

I wish I could help further. For us, the problems cleared up by the next season, same players and same workflow on the editing side but we'd moved to PT12 by then.

Do you know if they are adjusting the speed of clips in Premiere? We've have problems in the past with video editors slowing down/speeding up clips and then not receiving them in the OMF.

Just this week, I got an export from Premiere and had to try and relink to the ISO-tracks.
The OMF files (although non-embedded) had the Metadata overwritten; the AAF's did relink, but were grossly out of sync.
But funnily enough, the EDL's from Premiere were correct. I dug out old Titan, and everything is fine.

PT 12 has been better on Premiere AAF and omf than PT10 was for me (never had PT11 here), but there are still many mysteries, mostly about repeating clips, missing clips, clips out of position etc etc.. I always think that some of these problems are down to Premiere "hygiene" in some way, esp re how things were originally ingested and named. In most (but not all) of these cases other apps and utilities have had the same issues the PT12 did, small comfort....

I always send the following to Premiere editors, to help with current and future sessions:

Nice tips in the pdf. Now where is my bow and arrow?

Try exporting tracks 1-4, 2-5, etc as separate OMF files and import them into Audition. Export OMF from Audition. Import to ProTools...that should work. Don't know why but when we broke out the OMF files to smaller groups of tracks it worked. It's annoying but it worked.
