Wink wink, nudge nudge – anyone know CS3 OMF?
In a few weeks I am about to start a new HiDef series that is ‘audio post intensive’ so I want to move the sound post into my Nuendo audio suite. I have recently been using my FCP for a std def series creating OMF files for Nuendo and it all worked a dream. But my FCP is not HD so I have 2 choices; wait and see if CS3 supports OMF export or upgrade my FCP to HD and finally give Premiere the flick.
As there is a lot of stuff circulating about now regarding some of the new features of CS3, I am wondering if someone can spill the beans on OMF. If no one replies then I will have to assume another important ‘broadcast’ feature is not available on the “worlds largest selling” NLE software. So then I will live in hope that wedding editors would start wanting this OMF feature (along with the many others that PPro 2 lacks)

OMF is a Avid construct, there maybe licencing issues.

Yeah… sorry, I was actually refering to the OMF project export for use in audio post, not the Avid media format.

I will check it out tomorrow but my audio guys (in their flash new dolby suite) are starting to talk about AAF import into Protools as the “better way” to do it.
I wasnt paying too much attention at the time but will follow up.

[BazinoZ] “I was actually refering to the OMF project export”
To be able to use the format you have to licence it. Digidesign/ProTools is owned by Avid. like Craig mentioned AAF is supposed to be the A/V universal format which will is supposed to have OMF as a subset.

Yeah well it seems CS3 has no support for it so the decision is made especially now that FCP has version 6 released AND is cross platform. Who would have ever thought; FCP running on a windows computer!

Cross platform?… did I miss something? Can’t find anything on Apple’s website

“Cross platform” – sorry dave… my little joke… I have a weird sense of humour
