export OMF from AE CS4 on a mac?
Hi all. I’m working on an project where I cut up some footage into a montage within AE. Now the audio engineer on the project wants an OMF of the audio.
There doesn’t seem to be any OMF export option for mac’s version of CS4. Is there any other format that could work? Can I at least export an EDL and reconstruct in some other program?

i don’t believe that you can export an omf from the mac version of ae… there is this from the manual:
https://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103a4f2dff7-79b9a.html
but it is for windows…
i’d let the audio engineer know that it’s not possible to give him/her an omf from the mac version of ae, and ask for other options… (there are always other options).

IF YOU ARE WORKING WITH THE SEQUENCE ,THAT AUDIO FILES COMES WITH THE VIDEO FILES AUDIO SOURCE
( EMBEDDED AUDIO WITH THE VIDEO E.G. 5D CAMERA .MOV FILE WITH THE INTERNAL CAMERA MIC AUDIO.)THEN YOU SHOULD NOT EXPORT .AAF …
BECAUSE WHEN YOU IMPORT THAT AAF IN TO PROTOOLS IT WILL ASK YOU TO LOCATE ORIGINAL SOURCE AUDIO MATERIAL.
IN THAT CASE PROTOOLS CANNOT RELINK THAT AUDIO WHICH IS EMBEDDED WITH VIDEO FILES. 🙁
AND YOU CANT WORK 🙁 🙁
SO DONT WORRY HERE IS THE SOLUTION
EXPORT ONLY .OMF WITH TRIMED AUDIO + HANDLE LENGHT OF 100 FRAMES.
BECAUSE SINGLE OMF FILE SHOULD BE BELLOW 2 GB IN SIZE ..(OMF SIZE LIMIT)AND DONT FORGOT TO HANDOVER AUDIO FOLDER WHICH IS AUTOMATICALLY CREATED WHEN SAVING .OMF
;0 🙂
IN END RESULT SOUND GUY HAPPY
