Audio OMF directly from Avid into FCP 4.5?
Hi,
Does anybody know whether or not an audio OMF from Avid Xpress Pro will translate all mix moves/audio effects/dissolves/etc. when brought into FCP 4.5? If not, what doesn’t translate?

As far as I know you can NOT get an OMF into FCP. I just finished a 49min doc, exported audio as OMF, and then tried to bring it back in but was SOL. Soundtrack pro doesn’t open an OMF either unless I missed it somewhere….which I think sucks. If you are going to have the name PRO attached to your app it should support the most COMMONLY used file in the post industry!
If your going out of an Avid and are not planning on doing anything to the audio in FCP I would do an Audio mixdown of each individual track and then export as wave/aiff for import into FCP if you need seperation or just mixdown all to 2 tracks for export. Again, this is assuming you not going to workk the audio in FCP.

if i’m not mistaken, Avid invented and owns the OMF standard…. that’s part of the reason you can’t import them into Final Cut.
