importing an OMF into FCP
Hi
Just wondering if it is possible to use an OMF file in final cut pro (I’m on version 6.0.2)?
I have a sound mix that was created in pro tools that I want to put into final cut with all the channels separated rather than just as a wav. The OMF’s I have are coming up with ‘file not recognized’. My 2 questions rea:
-Can OMF files actually be imported into final cut?
-If not, is there any way of getting sound from pro tools into final cut and retaining all the different channels?Many thanks for any replies

OMF files cannot be imported into FCP. Not sure if Automatic Duck (www.automaticduck.com) now supports this…but it might.
What I do is have the mixer send me individual AIFF files for each track of audio. Slightly more work on his end, I know, but it works well. And it is free.

In a pinch you CAN import OMFs into Soundtrack. Then you can export splits out as aiff for final cut.
…so if Soundtrack can do it, I would hope it’s a feature that FCP could handle someday.

Does anyone know if there is any quality loss when you use Automatic Duck to transfer Avid files to FCP?
Also, can you transfer your timeline into FCP as well?
Many thanks

Hamid. You can only send sequences from Avid to Fcp, and from FCP to Avid with Automatic duck. You can’t send all the media, unless you make a sequence with all the footage a long sequence (but I haven’t tested that). And there is a shift in the gamma, slightly brighter, but color correction will fix that.
There really us no way to transfer a full project, bin structure and all the footage, from FCP to Avid or Avid to FCP.
