  OMF export from Final Cut is crashing Logic Pro

  Posted by Adamjohnson on March 4, 2007 at 2:35 am

  Greetings, an editor of a 20 minute short film exported a 16 bit 48 k OMF from Final Cut Pro that I imported no problem in Logic Pro 7.2 for sound design and audio sweetening.

  Then, he made some new cuts to the video so he exported a new OMF at 48 k, 24 bit … this did not import properly. Logic keeps crashing when importing the composition part of the OMF, every time crashing on one specific file.

  So, he exported another OMF at 48 k, 16 bit (because we thought it was a problem with 24 bit) but the same thing keeps happening .. I absolutely cannot import these new OMFs, they keep crashing Logic while importing the composition aspect of the OMF at one specific file … but, I can still import the original OMF … there is something wrong with the new OMFs I think ..

  Does this sound familiar to anyone? is there something wrong with the way he may be exporting the OMF from Final Cut? … someone suggested that maybe the new OMFs have mixed sample rates … does this sound like it could be the issue?

  Sounds like there is a corrupt file in the new OMF. When FCP makes an OMF, it converts any non 48k file to 48k so there won’t be mixed sample rates in an FCP OMF.

  Try making an OMF without the suspect file or perhaps track by track. That way you can track down the errant file and then perhaps manually load that again into Logic or FCP.
