  OMF export Symphony 6 – How?

  Posted by Chris Tomberlin on May 25, 2012 at 5:54 pm

  Sorry for this basic question, but can someone tell me (quickly) how to get omf out of symphony 6?? I’ve looked everywhere and it’s not an option. The pdf manual says it should be in the export settings but I’m not seeing it.

  Thanks

  AAF. Newer versions don’t do OMF. But AAF is far better (no 2GB or 4GB file size limit) and will embed audio.

  Switch the format tab of your project to an SD frame size and OMF 1 & 2 will be available in the export options.

  Help! After two decades of having assistant editors to do the digitizing and exports, I find myself alone. I thought I knew how to do an OMF from years ago. Boy was that a mistake.

  MAC Symphony 6.0.2 OS 10.7.x 16gig Ram

  I need to do OMFs. I changed the format settings to 23.976p NTSC Aspect Ratio 16:9 YCBCr601 720×486. Then export “Send to QT movie:, OMF 2.0 Include all video/data, include all audio tracks, export Method: consolidate, 60 frame handles, render video effects, Transcode video to DV 25p 411 OMF, Audio consolidate media, use same folder as OMF File, embed audio in OMF

  I’m getting an Export is cancelled warning (sequence Name) is an AMA clip that cannot be exported AS OMF.

  I had transcoded all the footage to DNxHD 175 before editing. What am I doing wrong?

  Boy do I miss Betacam SP.

  😉

  Thanks in advance….
