  • How do I render audio for editing in third-party sound editing suite.

    Posted by Will Kee on May 28, 2013 at 12:50 pm

    I am approaching a final edit of my latest short film. I am wondering how I can export the audio (dialogue) so that it can be edited in another program such as Pro Tools (without rendering the audio as one single clip i.e. as MP3).

    Thanks
    Will

    I would suggest you DO render your audio as 1 clip so that you can maintain synch. WAV is much higher quality than Mp3. You should also render it as 48k and tell your 3rd party editor to give it back to you at 4k, again for synch issues

    Yeah, just render a wav. Wavs are what almost every DAW runs on anyway, and you won’t lose any quality, or “go down a generation” as they used to say, by rendering to .wav

    A lot of guys doing film mixes don’t want to be stuck with audio edits done by video editors. So they want the edits and the audio files to import into protools. Usually this is done with ” Handles” audio before and after each edit so each piece can be trimmed or processed as if it was edited in a DAW.
    Vegas is supposed to support this, I’ve never tried it. I hope it does work. I use protools and would like to give it a try.
    Here is a thread I found. Let me know if it works.

    Vegas
    Exports to AAF, this should give all the clips on the time line to your audio editor. I just did a quick test and it seemed to work, but it was missing 1 audio file, so you may need to bring your source media as well to copy.
