Exporting audio AAf or OMF mixed frame rates problem
Hello,
Having problems exporting and/or transcoding audio OMFs from a timeline with mixed frame rates (29.97, 59.94, 23.976) in MC 4.0.3 on Mac Pro 2×3.2 Ghz Quad Core running OSX 10.5.8
Keep getting error stating: “Exception: OMF2Export – ‘Unable to export composition with mixed frame rates.’ An error occured during export.”
I find it odd that I cannot find any threads anywhere about this topic, as I’m sure it’s an issue for others who need to export audio AAFs or OMFs for sound mixes.
I should clarify that I am able to export AAFs from the timeline no problem, except our people; a) either cannot open the files at all, b) can open them but the audio is not lined up, c) can sometimes open our AAFs and other times have problems.
Does anyone have any insight as to how to do this without having to separate out each frame rate into it’s own timeline and project, thus exporting separate AAfs/OMFs? We work with long format projects. I’ve exhausted all my efforts at this point.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks you!
Craig

I bet that OMF does not support mixed framerates. AAF should. I was told that on the ProTools side, you need to UNcheck the box (in DigiTranslator) that says “ignore rendered effects”, as the mixed framerates are treated as rendered effects.

Thank you. I don’t think our guy uses Pro Tools, but I will forward the message along to see if something like that applies in his program.
Will update with any successess.
