How to import OMF into FCP…? is it only via soundtrack pro..?
How can one import OMF files in FCP exported from ProTools or Logic or Nuendo. If the only way is via Soundtrack pro, then what format should it be exported from there that we get all the open tracks with cuts and fades and all…??
thanks

I’m confused. Why do you need OMF into Final Cut? From a DAW?
I don’t mean to offend, but generally, OMF is used to send audio out of an editor, not in.Once all the audio has been processed, in ProTools, or Logic or whatever, you would normally bounce or export the audio as a single file back out. That file can then replace the audio of the original sequence (although I would duplicate the original, so if you need to make changes, you always have the original cuts to work with).
Again, if I’m missing something, just ignore what I said. But I’d hate to see you spending money on an import plugin when all you seem to need is a final mix brought back into the edit.

As he said, he wants “all the open tracks with cuts and fades and all”

Do you know why? What do you gain? Just curious.

It allows sweetened audio, with all the automation, and you can keep editing and revising if need be. You won’t be locked to the stems.

Thanks Glen..
well…i m an editing student on d verge on completing my final project..so for the same i needed to do some changes after the sound has been done…so i though it would be better to settle thing here on FCP only rather than sending it back to sound and spending couple of more days in the project… although i totally agree with u that all we need is the mix down final single audio track and nothing else….
and as jeremy said…”It allows sweetened audio, with all the automation, and you can keep editing and revising if need be. You won’t be locked to the stems.”…well…with the pilot sound recorded….we dont see some jerks…but with final audio with foley, effects and all…we can rectify them…and make it smoother…
hope i answered your question.thanks again

In other words, it’s a way to pat producers on the back who have no knowledge or respect for many of the basic tenets of good content creation, such as conceptualization and scripting, which might actually allow them to lock picture.
Unfortunately, more and more producers rushing out into the field to shoot these days with only half-baked ideas and little notion of what they really need to tell their story, and so people are now coming up with new ways to accommodate these bad filmmaking practices in post.

Really doesn’t fit your “without the unusual insanity” model does it? 🙂
It is crazy out there.
