  exporting to protools via OMF-no audio levels/fade info

  Posted by Kate Farrel on August 25, 2005 at 4:19 am

  Greetings all,
  Avid DV xpress PRO 4.6
  When exporting a sequence to ProTools using the OMFI procedure, we found that non of the volume level adjustments and fades that had been made in the timeline were present when the ProTools session was opened up. We’ve tried many combinatons of the export settings including checking/not checking “include rendered audio affects”. We chose OMF2.0 and creating SDII files.

  Any clues as to what would cause this?

  I think this is to do with ProTools – I know that older versions were unable to read any gain data from Avid. I’m pretty sure automation gain was a no go, and cuts and dissolves may have worked on some version.

  I don’t know about newer versions of ProTools, but I think they read more of the timeline data these days.

  There are a few ProTools forums on the web, it might pay to ask there about the limitations of ProTools.

  My OMFs are always OMF2 AIFF Embedded. I leave audio data on the export, I don’t know how much of it survives to the audio session.
