Pro Tools 10 AAF/OMF Export/Import Tutorial

[@fromholin1]

Finally!!! Could not get my pro tools session over to logic and line up. Thank you so much!!!

[@RohmanMusic]

Good stuff! Thanks Jeff! I'm a MN guy myself, and actually recorded at IPR. It was a fun coincidence when I decided to learn how to convert my Pro Tools files to my friend's Cubase for mixing/mastering, and I learned from you! Thanks!

[@blakeweddings]

I wish all videos were this clear and thorough. Thanks, Jeff!

[@beatrixmoersch5508]

Thanks! I only had to watch the first 1:30 to get the answer I needed :). Way to be to the point!

[@IprEdu]

Thanks! We are working on a short series right now, covering all the new features in Pro Tools 11 in-depth.

[@zacharytylerkoval]

Wonderfully informative, very straightforward. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

[@ruinajoven]

Thanks its really gonna help me with my audiovisual pro tools test

[@robertduffin1]

Extremely helpful and informative. Thank you Jeff

[@bmcgoo6027]

'In this instance' your video is very helpful - thanks

[@Harry-nq8qf]

Really helpful, much appreciated how you go into detail about every selection option. Wondering if this applies to PT vers 7 & 8 as well.

[@IprEdu]

Avid/Digidesign has made incremental improvements to the inter-op abilities of Pro Tools going all the way back to version 5 or so, so some of this is very relevant for those earlier versions, but some is a little more limited. The *processes* are largely similar going back several versions, as we recall, though. Even version 11 adds a few new features that we are likely to be covering soon.

Thanks for the useful video! Question: Does handle size count for anything when you choose "link to source media"? If you're linking to the original media, that would be the entire file, right? Seems strange that handle size is still an option in that case. Or am I missing something?

[@pietrosammarco6225]

And for that matter, Copy Media doesn't need handles either, right?

[@gagaproductions8181]

Thank u this was helpful

[@KMorak]

Hi, Thanks for this tutorial. I got this error while opening an embedded .AAF "Could not complete your request because an unexpected error happened while trying to find a media file's location." How can I resolve this?

[@hectorramosrivera5289]

Got a problem!! "Could not complete your request because Cannot open XXXX No such file or directoryIn omfsOpenFile." Any advice?

[@carefreecourtneys]

Very helpful and informative, thank you!

[@Louiethekid2023]

I created the OMF but when I tested it out on my protools in a different project the files imported in the right position but the audio files were missing.

[@jorgevasconcelosmadetomove]

still cant relink them , is it a premier export option ?

[@jorgevasconcelosmadetomove]

same here

[@NERVOUS74]

Hello, when I try to import audio from a video track PT split the tracks into 2 mono tracks. Why it doesn't import a stereo track? Thank You.

[@evanhernandez6544]

if i want to export a aaf file and im using elastic audio how can i do so because it tells me to disable elastic audio but i dont want to do that

[@sofi_nadsat]

Hi, what can I do if this message appears: No such file or directoryin omfsopenfile

[@sofi_nadsat]

I´ve been working for 5 years with pro tools 12.5 hd and now that I bought a new pc I can´t even import data session omf, so, I can´t work anymore. It is weird because it happens to me with the last two pc I bought (lenovo ideapad gaming and a Victus HP 16-d1001ns), however, I installed the program with a friend´s pc and it works. WTF

[@rompeolas27]

Nice tutorial!!

[@dreurquidi3917]

hey there I'm a new pro tools user. Your video is helpful! How would i go about Exporting Session data and importing only my plug ins to another session with the exact same track names on a different song. To make it simple.. i'm mixing atm how do i transfer my mix from one song to another!

[@MykaelAlexander]

Use shift + opt + i (import session data)

[@fabriziomarrocchi240]

Hi! Thanks for the video Im Trying to export an AAF from Pro Tools but it keeps popping this error message (Could not complete the Export Selected Tracks command because std::exception) And I dont have idea of what that exception means... = There's a way that I can export the pro tools timeline to work it again in editing of Premiere Pro? or similar?... Thanks for the attention

[@thefilmandtvcompany3595]

Me too! Any fix for this that you found?

[@jarodgao8164]

unless you delete all faders, I mean all of them. includes fade in, fade out and cross fade. its wired right? I also think so. Cause those AAF/OMF with faders that generated by other DAW or video edit softwares can be imported into PT! So, I don't know what to say to AVID......

[@Gynnemo]

Thanks! Great video!

[@GretschGod]

Hello. Does anyone know if there is a way to export AAF and keep stereo tracks interleaved instead of two mono tracks?

[@IprEdu]

While some editing systems appear to export stereo-interleaved, and Avid editors appear to import it without issue, we've not been able to duplicate the behavior of exporting stereo-interleaved files on an Avid system. "Officially" Avid does not support exporting stereo-interleaved. Advanced Media Workflow Association (www.amwa.tv/) is the organization responsible for the AAF standard and more information can be found on their site.

[@IprEdu]

A little deeper insight into the protocol: www.amwa.tv/downloads/specifications/aafeditprotocol.pdf

[@HipHopHead021]

thanks Jeff nailed it

[@verzlverns9171]

You are the best!

[@IprEdu]

You're welcome.

[@sergenaberman]

[@Angel-zp9ks]

you know what you're talking about but those keys strokes aren't loud enough. they are totally not distracting

[@DozaVybz]

[@b.robertson9042]

Sounds like you're angry with your computer keys. I'm sure they're dead by now.
