Dream on Premiere advocates

Shane Ross “FCX can’t. Requires a third party app to do that. OMF’s are something Apple doesn’t seem to think you need anymore.”
And FCPX can’t open older FCP projects without a 3rd party app either.
It’s easier to bring an FCP7 project into Premiere than it is to bring it into the newest version of FCP!

LOL. No idea. I think it’s the G4 model that was around at the OS9/OSX transition.

[Harry Kafka] “Cut a 38 min. doc and it was fine until had to make MPEG 2 which took forever.”
I’ve never had a problem making MPEG-2 for DVDs, either through Media Encoder or Encore (under 5.5). What finite span of time do you mean exactly by “forever”?
[Harry Kafka] “Now trying to make OMF’s and it crashes repeatedly.”
I’ve done this once so far, and didn’t have a problem.

[Oliver Peters] “He’s running an OS9 version (!!!) that still works like a champ. He only uses it for ProTools and has a huge investment in plug-ins, so he doesn’t want to upgrade. It only does OMF, not AAF.”
I have a sound guy mastering audio in Cool Edit Pro on an XP machine. It can only read AVIs. It was really problematic getting out a proper 24p file out of Final Cut Pro into a compatible AVI for a guy on outdated software.
Can you really call yourself a serious NLE if you can’t create simple AVIs? I think not.

So would he retire if you tell him you will only send .aaf’s? I’ll bet he’d update pretty quickly if he was going to lose some work – I certainly would never let an outside house dictate my workflow no matter how good they are.

Can you call yourself a serious audio guy running asystem that only reads AVIs? Who needs an AVI? since 1993 I’ve needed an AVI once, and I think that was 1993.

Quick Premiere engineers – to the DeLorean! Fly back and time and fix this OMF oversight in your out of date software.
A nano second Google search reveals the CS6 Premiere does OMF export….a simple upgrade to a vastly better editing program (yes it really is the Final Cut 8 you were waiting for…with a number of things still to be addressed – primarily the horrendously long export times)

OMF export
“Export your audio in Open Media Framework (OMF) format for interchange with audio workstations. Then import the final audio back into Adobe Premiere Pro and use direct audio channel routing to preserve the final mix.”

I’m running CS6 and when I exported an AAF file out, my audio guy could not open it in ProTools. I tried exporting an OMF and the computer kept crashing. Just my 2 cents. I’ve given the same audio guy AAFs from Media Composer and he can open them fine.

Has anyone here really tried an AAF from CS6 yet?
Just curious if you got it to work as expected with embedded audio from movs.

Oh, and Protip:
Make sure you project manage your sequence first to it’s own project pre-AAF export attempt.
