Exporting OMF to soundtrack

I have a project that is picture-locked in FCP 5 and now I wanna sound edit in Soundtrack. Do I just export as OMF and then re-import the individual files to Soundtrack? What's the right way to do this?

Oh, no! Much easier than that!
You can either control-click (right-click) on the sequence or a bunch of selected clips that you wish to work with in Soundtrack and select "Send To" from the context menu. Under the sub menu that pops up, you can select "Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project".
Soundtrack will be launched and a new multitrack project created for you to play with.
I should probably add that when you're done in Soundtrack Pro, you'll want to create a mixdown in Soundtrack Pro. From the File menu, select "Export", and then "Export Mix". Then save the file with your project. Then, back in Final Cut, you can add that mixdown file to your video project, mute all your original clips, and export your completed video with soundtrack.
You might give this whole "round-trip" a try with a small practice project first to make sure you've got it down before jumping into a big project.

    I've been trying to export AAF and the program keeps crashing after almost an hour. I don't think I'll ever use Soundtrack Pro again. Any crashing issues you know of? Thanks very much.

  • Exporting OMF with Volume Levels

    My movie's done, I'm trying to export the audio as OMF files for my post guy to use on his machines at work.
    Problem is that I can't figure out a way to export and leave my volume levels intact. We've done a lot of the mixing already, but according to Mr. Audio the OMF files I burned for him have all volume levels at 0, no deviation.
    Can I export OMF with the volume controls using only Final Cut 5 or Soundtrack?
    Next question is about Automatic Duck, a Final Cut plug-in that is supposed to solve my problem. I tried installing it and it seems to not want to work without a copy of After Effects on the same machine. Is there a way to load that plug in for just Final Cut and have it work?
    Thanks

    hey Mike
    welcome to the FCP forum.
    FCP5 does not to my knowledge export clip based audio gain or pan adjustment data in its OMF export ... you'll need something like Automaic Duck's Pro Export plug-in for that
    if you already own Automatic Duck's fabulous plug-in then you should have no problem exporting your timline with (almost) all dissolves, keyframes and effects intact.
    if you are having a problem then I can only guess you've bought the wrong plug-in ... you need the FCP Pro Export plug-in.
    you'll be glad to know that Wes Plate, from Automatic Duck is a regular contributor to the forum so you can be sure you'll get the advice you need.

  • Is it possible to export OMF (to ProTools)?

    Is it possible to export OMF (to ProTools)? It is vital for the post of sound to be able to send the edit for further work by professional sounddesigners. I love the idea of FC-X, but if OMF export/import is not possible...
    Would appreciate any ideas as to how to go about this issue! Thanks

    If you need to export an OMF file, you'll have to export your project to FCP 7 with Xto7 (http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/Xto7/) and export an OMF from there. However AAF export is possible with X2Pro software (http://www.x2pro.net/). I highly recommend it, since it makes use of FCP X's Roles-feature by naming the tracks in ProTools according to roles.

  • Exporting OMF to Protools from FCP5

    I am running FCP 5.1.4 and cutting an HD pix, shot on an F900, downconverted to a DVC PRO 100 hd for editing. I want to export an OMF for a pro tools session. From what I hear, FCP 5 will not export OMF with the pan and volume levels. The sound editor will basically have to remix all the sound. Is this true?

    I never use the keyframes for audio.
    Because indeed the audio-guy will not receive that info from the omf.
    What I always do is add transitions to the audio. sometimes need to scirror the audio. adjust the level on the second part and the ad a transition.
    This way your audio-guy will know he needs to do 'something' on that point in the mix. he will not get the level information, but he'll see you made a transition there. together with your scratch mix (see danny boy's post) he'll figure out...

  • Final Cut Pro x how to export OMF?

    Final Cut Pro x how to export OMF?

    As far as I understand, FCPX doesn't support OMF exports, unless something has changed recently. There are some workarounds that you can do, see this post. It looks a little cumbersome though. Hope that helps you further.

  • Problème export OMF

    Bonjour,
    J'ai un problème avec un export OMF. Voilà la notification que j'ai " Média source insuffisant pour cet élément ! La longueur du média d'événement est différente de la longueur du média réel !"
    Est-ce que je pourrai tout de même ouvrir mon projet sous protools ?  Et si ce n'est pas pas le cas, comment puis-je résoudre le problème ?
    Je vous remercie,
    Cordialement,

  • Exporting OMF without embeded media?

    Does anyone know if there is a way to export an OMF file from FCP which does not contain embeded audio media and only data referring to the original source media?
    Thanks for any pointers,
    Daniel

    I've checked out the automaticduck website, and it only seems to be able to export OMF with embeded media. If anybody knows if it can in practice perform the function of exporting session data as OMF (without embeded audio media), please let me know.
    If not, it's not a bad idea for somebody to implement. Using OMFs in this manner is standard practice in the film industry.
    Sound editors don't have receive gigs of audio data every time there is a change in the edit. All they need is a copy of all the source audio files once, then session data OMFs are sent to them as changes occur (via e-mail cause their small). It's very practical, saves a lot of time and HD space.

  • Exporting omf file from FCPX

    Any one know how to export omf with FCPX?  have tried  "automatic duck" but version 4.10 won't work with FCPX.
    help.

    If you're going to DVD Studio Pro, it will need to transcode to mpeg-2 at some point.  If you exported a referenced QT movie from FCP7 previously, then DVD Studio Pro was doing the transcoding for you.
    In FCPX, I suggest exporting using Compressor 4.  Apply the DVD preset (mpeg2 video and dolby digital audio) and you can also apply chapter markers within Compressor.
    Import the 2 resulting files into DVD Studio Pro and no further transcoding (other than menus) will need to be performed when you burn the disc.

  • Is there any workaround for exporting 24 bit AAF of OMF in soundtrack?

    Hi
    Soundtrack pro seems to have only 16bit AAF export function. Is there any workaround to be able to export a multitrack session in higher bit (24bit industry standard) resolution, in AAF or OMF format?
    I know Final Cut has 24bit AAF export funcion, but sending clips from soundtrack to Final Cut seems not possible. Only sending mastermixes to FC is possible. But I want to send individual clips to FC.
    Or any other suggestions are welcome for solving this problem.
    Thanks!

    If Premiere offers you the option to use hardware encoding, then your card is recognized. There is normally nothing more to do.  If I understand you correctly, you are concerned that Premiere is not using the card.  There are 2 ways to check if it is:
    1. Install someting like GPU-Z (google it, it's free) to monitor the GPU. Start to encode something that will actually use CUDA cores, and you should see some activity reported, given as a percentage.  Keep in mind that CUDA is only used for some specific tasks (some effects, resizing) when encoding.
    2. Export a file that will use CUDA when encoding 2 times, once with hardware encoding enabled, and then with software only. Is there a difference in the time needed to complete the export?

  • Is there a way to export an Avid OMF to Soundtrack Pro?

    I have an OMF file from Avid that i have been asked to mix, and I would like to do it in Soundtrack Pro. Is there any way of exporting or converting the files so they can be edited in STP?
    Many thanks
    Matthew

    you would mostly likely need to get something like ADproimport FCP http://www.automaticduck.com/products/pifcp/ to take the OMF into FCP then use FCP to send that to STP

  • Problems exporting OMF from FCP 6

    I've been trying to export an omf of a 40 min dvcprohd sequence to hand off to my sound mixer.
    He needs the omf with handles of at least 20 seconds. When I try to export it I get the message telling me that the file will exceed 2GB and is not supported. I have tried exporting only a very small part of it (like the first minute of the first four tracks) and if I have 20 second handles it wont do it.
    Any suggestions?

    There may be something else involved, but there is a file size limit on fat32 formatted drives. What is the format of the drive you're trying to export to. Also, I seem to remember that you can export an omf with either the media separate or embedded. Separate might solve the problem.
    Also 20 second handles seems ridiculous to me. Most omf's I've exported for sound mixes have at most a couple of seconds of handles.

  • Export OMF with levels

    Hi there,
    I am trying to export an omf in FCP 7.0.3 with levels, but the audio guy doesn't see the levels. He is using a pyramix system.
    I have heard that automatic duck has a plug in where you can export to aaf with levels, but this is an expensive program.
    Is there an other way to do this?
    regards, Micha

    Dear Nick,
    I know how to export an OMF, but my problem is that the de audio editor doesn't see the levels. The manaul says that this should work, but it doesn't. He does see the cross fades, but not the levels.
    I am now trying a workaround by media managing a copy of the sequence without video and make a XML file, but the problem there is that the although I removed all the video, the media manager still includes the video in the export.
    The audio editor can read the xml file with the levels and the cross fades, but the export is now very big (it is a 50 minutes sequence) because the video is still included.

  • Exporting OMF with metadata?

    I'm working on a short film, and I'm trying to export an OMF to the sound designer. He's working in ProTools, and I know nothing about sound editing stuff, but he's telling me he's not getting the meta data from the original sound files. Now I've tried Every kind of OMF and AAF export I can find in Premiere, but nothing seems to work.
    So is there a way to export an OMF that points to the original audiofiles, instead of writing new ones? Or some other way to keep the original meta data of the file?

    Not sure what metadata your sound designer is looking for, but try not "encapsolating audio."  I believe you have to manually locate your audio files and reconnect them when you send it to ProTools.  Also, I've also had better experiences outputting OMFs from Audition.  Send you sequence to Audition and then create your OMF from there.
