Exporting OMF’s
Hi-
I have a long sequence (or my editor does) and he is having an issue with export of OMF’s. He said that the export is including the audio from the entire clips rather than just the “used” portion in the sequence. When he does export he is getting a warning that said it exceeds maximum file size. The sequence is about 1 hour and 40 mins.
Any thoughts?
TIA-

When the OMF export box pops up at the beginning you have the option of adding handles to your OMF. If you just want the use media make sure 0 seconds is selected. It’s always good to at least have a couple of seconds of handles though.
The maximum file size for OMF is 2gb which is kind of annoying but there are 2 works arounds.
1. Mute all of your tracks except Track 1 and export. Then repeat for Track 2, 3, 4, 5 etc. You’ll have multiple .OMF Tracks but it’s still your best option.
2. The other option is to export your OMFs in chunks ie The First 20 minutes, the second 20 minutes etc. As long you keep the sections of audio in the right place on your timeline they should match up in your Audio Edit.
