Can’t get audio OMF export under 2 GB
Hello, I have a ~35 minute short film and trying to export an audio OMF for audio finishing. I have 8 tracks of audio, 48 KHz, 16-bit. Problem is that I keep getting an error (SYS_ERROR) because the OMF file hits the 2 GB ceiling (I checked the file size as it was being created).
I tried deleting all video and all other audio tracks (leaving one), setting a tiny in/out, but I still get the same error. Any ideas why this is happening?

Is the audio in your sequence all from group clips?
It always includes audio from all angles in an embeded OMF. this is a known problem.
Try consolidating your sequence to another drive or workspace and then export again.

Just a quick thought on this, in case you bypassed it in a rush.
Though you’re setting a small in and out – you HAVE set the export settings to ‘Use Marks’ haven’t you? If you’ve not, it’ll export more than you expect.
Like I said, it’s unlikely you’ve not checked this, but best to cover all bases.
However, even if it was 8 tracks, filled with audio for 35 minutes, you wouldn’t hit the 2Gb limit (it my addition is right).
I hope this is too late, and you’ve already sorted the problem.
(Oh, second option – how about consolidating the audio to another drive, and exporting only a linked OMF file (rather than an embedded one)?
