    OMF Problem

    Posted by Dan Newton on April 27, 2009 at 6:44 pm

    Hey Guys

    Need some urgent help —-

    I have done a documentary on Avid Media Composer and now I am sending the documentary to be sent for online editing

    Now the problem is they want each music track and each vo exported each as omf

    now on avid media composer there are two omf versions — OMF 1.0 and OMF 2.0

    firstly, which one do I normally choose

    secondly, what settings do I set as I am not sure of the output settings for the omf

    Please get back to me as soon as you can its really urgent

    Thanks and waiting for your reply

    Regards

    I ussualy choose 1.0

    Tell them if they accepted separate track music and VO in WAV?

    In my experience, it less make problem (than OMF).

    Ask your audio mixer what he prefers.

    Current Pro Tools software works well with OMF 2 or better yet, AAF.

    Older systems may want OMF 1
