Problem exporting OMF to ProTools from a Multicam Edit
I have a project with multicam edits and I would like to know how to export correctly an OMF to ProTools. So here is a description of what I did so far:
Since OMF works with mono tracks only, my sequence has 8 mono tracks. I need to export audio track 1 AND 2 from camera 1 only. All other audio tracks from the cameras are useless. So when I created my Multicam Sequences, I “opened them in timeline” so I could turn on the audio on track 1 & 2. Laid the multicam in my sequence and edit them.
Now when I export my OMF I only get audio track 1 from my multicam. What should I do to get audio track 1 AND 2 to be exported in the OMF?

By the way, It’s in Premiere CS6

I had a problem with a 45 minute sequence which was multicam
getting it into an .omf for pro tools. It would export just fine
but most of the audio was missing in pro tools once imported.I’m running the MAC version of CS 6
To get around this:
Make sure audition is updated to latest version.
from premiere “send it” to audition.
once thats done, hopefully without errors, export an .omf from audition.
That’s what solved it for me. Pro Tools then imported everything properly.

Hello Chris and thank you for your input. I have no problem exporting (so far) my OMF to ProTools. Audio follows ok. My problem is that since Multicam Sequence are “nested” in the final timeline, only the first audio track comes across in the OMF. Even though there is 8 tracks total in the MC Seq and only the first 2 are good.
So the question remains, apart from replacing the nested audio tracks with the original audio in my final sequence, is there a way to tell Premiere how many audio tracks it should use to export an OMF?

if you see 8 tracks and they are enabled and not muted, they “should”
export with the omf. -
Well they don’t.

Hi Pierre,
it’s been a while since the last post but I might know what your problem is.
When you’re creating a multicam sequence and you’re missing the “correct” audio tracks just right click on the multicam sequence and chose sth like “open sequence in timeline” (Sorry, I don’t know what that command is called exactly in english). You’ll then find all the clips you added and you can see which audio tracks are enabled (the little speaker phone icons on the left side of the tracks).
Disable and enable whichever tracks you need here.Another problem I am facing right now though is that when you export the audio data (via Audition and OMF) all the multicam tracks are transfered to one mono track and not two separate tracks as they were recorded.
If you only have one audio track though you’ll be fine.Hope this helped.
