Using Undo after Importing
Using Undo after importing any files to the
Timeline removes the files from the Timeline.
However, the files remain in the session (in the
Region List and Project browser) and are offline.
If you do not remove or delete the files from the
session manually, Pro Tools will report them as
missing files the next time the session is opened.
Importing AAF and OMF
Sequences
(DigiTranslator 2.0 Required)
With the DigiTranslator 2.0 option, Pro Tools
lets you open AAF and OMF sequences as new
Pro Tools sessions, or you can import AAF and
OMF sequences into existing Pro Tools sessions.
Exporting Pro Tools Tracks as
AAF or OMFI Sequences
(DigiTranslator 2.0 Required)
With the DigiTranslator 2.0 option, Pro Tools
lets you export individual tracks in AAF or OMFI
format. Use the Export Selected Tracks as
AAF/OMF
command.
Exporting Sessions as Text
(Pro Tools HD Only)
You can use the Export Session Info as Text com-
mand to create a text file that contains extensive
information about your session.
This text file can contain a list of audio files, au-
dio regions, audio track EDL (Edit Decision List)
information, extended timestamp information,
and information about crossfades.
Track EDLs are exported as tab-delimited text—
that is, with tabs between each column heading,
and tabs between each event parameter. You
can use this data in a program for reading EDLs,
or you can format the EDL data into tables using
a word processor or spreadsheet application.
Pro Tools cannot play MXF audio or video
files embedded within an AAF sequence.
For more information on opening and
importing AAF and OMF sequences using
the DigiTranslator 2.0 option, see the
DigiTranslator Guide.
Pro Tools with DigiTranslator 2.0 does not
support AAF files with embedded media.
For more information on exporting selected
tracks from Pro Tools sessions as AAF and
OMF sequences using the DigiTranslator
2.0 option, see the DigiTranslator Guide.
