  • OMF2 Export Error

    Posted by Jamie Lee on May 13, 2010 at 4:13 pm

    I’m exporting a sequence for the audio mix. I go to file export > OMF2 > include all audio tracks > copy all media..

    It copies all the media, indexes all the media, then crashes when it gets to “Checking OMF2 Compositions”.

    The error message reads “Invalid format for OMF export.”

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    What is your project type?

    Standard Def 4×3 project.

    Trying to export OMF2 for import into Logic Pro 8. I’ve tried copying the media, consolidating the media, linking the media… I’ve deleted all audio suite effects and all pan and volume effects.

    I’m at a loss.

    In Export settings, make sure you’re choosing AIFF or WAVE as the file type. PCM/MXF is for AAFs and “Project” will probably also be PCM/MXF. Hope it’s the easy fix…
