Pressing question about nesting and OMFs!
Hi there,
I need to re-export an OMF for our sound editor for tomorrow as the one I’ve given him has only one audio track (I had nested the sequences and didn’t realize it wouldn’t produce a multi-track OMF).
I know that you can press command and drag a sequence to another sequence, which basically nests the first sequence but with all content, tracks, etc (I believe this is overwriting/inserting with sequence content).
My question is, if I do this, will the OMF I export have multiple audio tracks or still only one? And if it’s just one audio track, is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
Any help would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks!

If your timeline has multiple tracks, and multiple clips, it will show up as such in an OMF. If you nest and then OMF, it will show up as one file, stereo. So in un-nesting by overwriting with content and then getting all of your individual files back, you will now have a multiple clip timeline. Make sure that ALL the tracks come over when you do this.
Nesting should RARELY be used…causes so many headaches. UNnest when you need to online or OMF or media manage.

Thanks so much. I’m never nesting again, ugh.

I actually just tried to do this (holding down command) and it’s still nesting. I tried earlier using a different project and it worked, no idea why. Any thoughts? Do I need to change the audio outputs in sequence settings?

Put the nested sequence into the VIewer, then hold the Command key and press F-10. Or map OVERWRITE WITH CONTENT to F10. Might not work via dragging.
