Audio Post Production (Media 100i to ProTools)
Hi, hopefully I’m addressing an issue of concern or interest to many Media100 users…
As we know, M100 is wonderful for editing picture. However, audio is at least half of a movie, and M100 is hardly suited for audio work compared to programs like ProTools or Nuendo.
I was told by M100/Optibase that their OMF option would not be compatible between the latest versions of M100i (8.2.2) and ProTools LE (6.7/9). Since ProTools 5 (the last supported option) requires reverting all the way back to OS 9, it’s not even an option.
Unfortunately, Automatic Duck does not address this common scenario. I have, however, managed to EDL export into ProTools via FCP, but no EQ or Volume info remains intact.
On a 2 hour project, this can mean weeks worth of additional work.
Has anyone had any luck simply exporting their mixed audio tracks from M100 into ProTools for final mastering (without, of course, simply exporting pre-mixed .wav’s)?
I KNOW there is a way to do this using XML. I’m not expert enough at programming XML or I would write the script myself and provide it to others in need.
Thanks for your input, ideas, solutions, etc with this one.
