Importing a group of Tracks with all the related Playlist's list

[Paulienat]

Hi, I have to import to a new session a group of 3 tracks from another session.

I need to import each track with its own list of playlist...without the audio clips, I only need the playlist track and name to put different clips without having to create and rename again all the playlists.

If I use import session data, unchecking the "import audio-clips" box, I have all the tracks but I don't have all the playlists for each track.

I tried using track presets with no success. Best way to get also the playlists when I import tracks (with no audio-clips). Tks

Hi, Where exactly are you seeing a "import audio-clips" box? I don't see one in my Import Session Data window.

You can select "Track Data to Import", but if you unselect Clips and Media, you lose the option of importing playlists.

Only way I know how to do it is to import the tracks with the corresponding media. Under Audio Media Options, you can choose "Link to source media" or "Copy from source media". The Link to option is the fastest since Pro Tools doesn't have to copy the audio from the other session. Then you can just delete the audio clips - but be careful not to permanently delete the audio from the original session!! (Yes, I've done this!) Best to make a backup of the original session before doing this to be safe.
