  • Exporting Scoring Marker for ProTools

    Posted by Aldo Palumbo on March 2, 2010 at 9:43 am

    Dear Colleagues

    Has anyone here any experience of exporting a Final Cut Pro sequence for ProTools using Scoring Markers? I know these markers translate to Soundtrack Pro, but do they translate to ProTools?

    I might be better off using Chapter Markers in the guide QuickTime I give to the composer.

    I will be using Automatic Duck Pro Export 4.04 to create the OMF for ProTools.

    many thanks

    Aldo

    Hi Aldo
    If you are using Final Cut Pro 7 I would suggest
    exporting the OMF of your sequence directly from Final Cut Pro
    and then exporting a text list of the markers for use in Pro Tools.
    This feature is only available natively from Final Cut Pro 7.
    To my knowledge scoring markers will not appear via Automatic Duck
    or from direct export as either OMF1 or OMF2.

    Best Regards

    Hi Chris

    I exported a marker list at a .txt file, and gave that to composer, but he was unable to import this into Pro Tools by any obvious means. Are you sure this is possible?

    many thanks

    Any luck with the scoring markers?
    Trying to do the same going from fcp7 to Pro tools.

    Thanks

    I don’t think we did crack that one.
