  • Pro Tools files to Avid

    Hi,

    Anyone know how to export a mixed sequence to Avid without bouncing down? Our files are offline once we bring them into Avid. We want to make cuts and additions to the audio w/o using the bounce.

    Basically, we would like all the files on each separate track as the audio looked before bringing it to Pro Tools, so we can work with them.

    Thanks,

    Export AAF from ProTools using Avid Compatibility mode.

    Import AAF into Avid. Be sure to copy the media into the Avid MediaFiles/MXF/1.

    There will probably be many tiny dummy clips called “Sample Accurate Edit”. Because ProTools can edit down to the sample and Avid only does frame based edits, they are necessary to maintain sync.
