Grass Valley Aurora Edit v.7.0 - Manual (Page 159)

Enhancing audio using OMF files
With Aurora Edit, you can add enhanced audio to your sequences using an audio
post-production tool.
This is accomplished by exporting an Aurora Edit sequence as an OMF file, which
strips out the video tracks and exports only the audio tracks. The resulting OMF file
can be imported into a post-production tool, where you can enhance the audio, then
export the audio tracks as an OMF file which can be re-imported into Aurora Edit and
used in the original sequence.
Aurora Edit supports these audio post-production tools:
• Digidesign Pro Tools LE, version 6.7 and higher
• Fairlight systems (using the AVTransfer utility available from avtransfer.net)
• Steinberg Nuendo, version 2.0 and higher
