Premiere pro to OMF Audio for Pro Tools

[Leo Baker] “I know Final Cut Pro and Avid cann all export to OMF so seems Premeir eis lacking in this area.”

Avid and Apple belong to the AAF(Advanced Authoring Format) consortium which decided to support AAF as the universal interchange format, Adobe implemented AAF years ago in the anticipation of the rest of the consortium following, you should be asking Avid why they are dragging their feet.

Avid have moved on since than and now use the MXF format. It is the default for all new installations.

I guess Premier Pro will be playing catch-up again! 😉

MXF support in PPro would be a very welcome addition.

Automatic Duck was the best option but they seem to have rather abandoned PPro concentrating instead on AE. Sadly missed.

WAV files is an option but messy and time consuming.

You can export a AAF file from Premiere and import that into ‘AVTRANSFER’ and then get it to create an OMF file (but be prepared to take out that bank loan!)

Hello,

Be nice for the MXF support, as well as the ability to work with the Sony XDCAM HD as well like in Final Cut Pro. Hopefuly in the next release Premiere may have these tools.

I am an Adobe fan but seeing FInal Cut Pro 2 studio and the intergrations I am leaning the Apple Mac route now as it offers all the formats support as well.

The problem is who is sleeping with who, not Adobe playing catch-up.

And that’s Adobe’s problem – to busy with application integration and a ‘pretty’ interface rather than add the professional features the application needs. Apple has a good interface and many of the features, Avid has all the features but the interface?…well you kinda warm to it after a while.
