OMF export and AVID DS

I have an 8-track, 5 minute audio sequence I have exported directly from FCP 5.0.4 and am trying to get it into our AVID DS Nitris. Export from FCP goes fine. Upon trying to import the OMF, the DS pops up an error message saying 'edit rate does not match current sequence'. Settings in both FCP and DS are 29.97 NDF, 16-bit, 48k. Anyone had this happen before? Is this something Automatic Duck would solve?

At this rate, never.
Everyone knows DS is a little finicky about importing OMF files, and it is a little finicky about ours too. The only real problem I'm aware of is when clips aren't from tape-- if they're imported clips-- they seem to get lost. But we are in no position to know why things fail and we are in position to fix them. So even though it mostly works well for people, we don't stand behind the practice.
You might want to ask around on the DS list, lots of people seem to do it even though we don't support it.
Maybe someday if Avid gets updated to the current AAF standard, maybe then things will "just work".

OMF files and AAF files from AVID not working in soundtrack Pro 2

OMF files from avid work in Logic studio but always need converting to 44.1K so are useless.
In Soundtrack Pro I can't get them in without about a million glitches. First of all it creates about four clips of every audio clip and dumps them in bulk at the begining of the time line in a great big jumble (sometimes it's not visible). Audio clips are often not selectable and it doesn't take the timecode from the OMF. It's a mess, don't apple test these things?
AAF - (files that I have checked do work on other systems) I can't get to work at all.
I can't export AAF or OMF either, even though the manuals say I can.

Look in the Utilities folder for Apple Loops Utility. The manual is in under the Help menu of that app.

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

Syncing Audio with Merge Clips option and OMF export question/issue

Hi,
In the past when I've edited video, when it came to syncing audio I always did it manually. This time, using Premiere Pro CC, I used the merge clips option, to speed up the syncing audio process, which was a huge time saver with excellent results.
The question/issue I have..is that when I get my OMF exported for my sound editor, will this screw anything up, since on the project file, it doesn't use the original audio file, but the one that was merged. And in the project list, I don't even need to have the original audio file listed, since it's already been merged into a clip, which I used in the project. I know it's the same file used, but will it mess anything up since a merged clip audio was used instead of just dragging the original track onto the timeline?

A good way to know for sure (and therefore feel comfortable that you're doing the right thing) is to do a test OMF export, then open this in Audition. This ill show you exactly what you're exporting.

OMF export failed due to internal error

I get this error message whatever I do when I try to export as OMF:
"OMF export failed due to internal error"
I tried OMF 1 and 2.
I tried to uncheck "include audio".
I tried an extremely small project (one region, one track).
Always the same error. Problem is there's absolutely no information on what kind of internal error this is.
All other export options (AFF, Open TL and Final Cut) works.
Any ideas?

I suppose that beside CCM 4.1(2) you are using AC 1.4 (1), if yes, then you need to upgrade to AC 1.4 (1) ES11 or upgrade at least to CCM 4.1(3)ES42 or CCM 4.1(3) sr3c

FCE & FCP compatibility with OMF files and Pro Tools

I am using Final Cut Express 3.5 and want to edit a future project on it for a friend. When I am finished with the project, I was wanting to export the audio as an OMF file so that it can be mixed in Pro Tools. However, I just realized that Final Cut Express 3.5 does not support OMF exporting.
I am trying to work around this problem and I just need some verification that my idea will work. This is my idea: Will it work if I take my finished FCE project and open it on a friend's computer that has Final Cut Pro and create an OMF file through FCP?
If so, after mixing in Pro Tools, will I be able to import the mixed audio back into my FCE (or worst case scenario, my friend's FCP) and be able to burn the movie to DVD?

1. Depends on the FCP version they're using. FCP5.1 or later will work.
2. Yes.

'OMF export failed due to internal error' message

Adobe After Effects CS3 crashes with Codecs such as Motion JPEG and Avid DnxHD

Hey guys, I'm new here
I'm having a problem with After Effects CS3 crashing with .mov files (exported from Adobe Premiere) with codecs such as Motion Jpeg A and Avid's DnxHD. Its driving me crazy.
If I import a Motion Jpeg A file, AE crashes immediately. If I import a DnxHD file that works fine with Premiere, it seems to import ok. However, when I try to play it in AE it comes up as a plain white... thing. If I move the slider across it previews one or two frames before AE crashes. Its driving me crazy.
AE works ok with H.164 and animation files.
I'm reinstalled quicktime and Avids codecs, uninstalled ffdshow, disabled Open GL and multiprocessing, changed between 10bit and 8bit (whatever that is all about) with the dnxhd and I'm really stumped. If I can get Dnxhd working I'm fine with that. I thought I'd mention the Motion Jpeg A codec to see if they're a result of the same problem.
I've also tried Avid's RGB packed Codec with the same results.
I'm running Windows Xp 32 bit with 3gbs of ram, a GeForce 8600 gt with a Intel Pentium Duo Core Processor 2.00 GHZ.
Can anyone help me please?

I'm mistaken, Animation files don't work either!
I tried that with no luck. I even tried a few more Quicktime codecs with the same results.
Only H.164 and some png compressed .mov files seem to work. Very frustrating.
I'm surprised thats the case - I am defintley due for an upgrade. Even though this system seems to work ok, struggling a little bit with HD .mov files but yeah, I've been planning a new system for a while.

OMF Export Hangs - Premiere Pro CS5

I am exporting about 19 minute long sequence to OMF. I have about 12 audio tracks - most of these are mono, couple of tracks are stereo. There are no nested sequences. As for effects, there's only one audio gain.
I tried exporting with encapsulate option - after about 5 minutes, the progress bar hangs at a certain point - it hung for more than 40 minutes.
I cancelled the export, and then tried exporting with separate audio files setting - the progress bar hangs at a certain point (a little farther than the encapsulate setting) and is hung again for over 30 minutes now.I can see that all audio (Wav) files are saved in the folder, however the progress bar is hung and the OMF file is at 0KB. Is premiere doing anything? Does it take this long? Or is Premiere is hung?
I am on a very tight timeline and will appreciate help resolving this.
Thanks.
RV

For anyone who might run into similar problem - after trying multiple things, found out the problem. For a few audio clips, the stereo was split into 2 mono tracks and placed on timeline on two tracks. I manually removed each of thesesplit tracks and replaced it with stereo file on a single stereo track on timeline.
And the OMF rendered finally!

HT2240 I am trying to export my Avid Media Composer trailer to Quick Time. It is not letting me do so. I have a PC with Windows 7 Pro on it. I am needing to turn the trailer into a QT movie so that my instructor can grade it.

I could use some help is trying to convert my Avid Media Composer Trailer into a QT movie. Everytime I try I get a error message and Avid stops working and the trailer is never exported to QT.

I would suggest you contact Avid for advice.

Multitrack OMF Export Issue - CS6

Hello All,
Does CS6 not like exporting an OMF when I have a multitrack audio file? It hangs during OMF export (separate files) and never finishes.
If that is the case, what is the purpose of the multitrack audio file.
ex: I have one stereo track, and one multitrack on the timeline.
Thanks!
- Ryan

Hey TacoRye,
I posted about this like a month ago and got no response. It has made my life hell on this job I'm doing. What happens is when you make the OMF PP is taking the entire audio track that is attached to every clip in your video instead of pairing it down with handles so the OMF is huge. Apparently OMF's can't be over 2 gigs with media embedded. The only work around is to render and replace but then your audio engineer doesn't have handles. (You'd think they'd at least give you handle options on render and replace.) I never ever would have started this edit of 10 different videos using the multi track functions in premiere as they obviously haven't thought through the work flow. You can't even match your audio back to original source to try and replace just the audio portions of clips in your timeline. Absolutely pathetic.

OMF Export Hangs

I imported a FCP XML project and it seems to be just fine. But now I'd like to export my project to OMF to go to Pro Tools. The export process hangs (so does AAF)...any idea what could be causing this??? I have even tried to cut everything from the sequence and just have two audio clips, and it still hangs.
Other OMF exports from projects I have started in Premiere CS5 seem to go smoothly.
On PC, Win 7 64, CS5 v 5.02

I have had the same and other problems with OMF export ... I wish Adobe would get this working or provide better documentation on the problems. I also wish they would add a way to export CS5 audio tracks to their excellent application Audition 3 which I would rather use than Pro Tools anyway!
I have found that deselecting all the video tracks (no eyeballs) helps sometimes. The OMF export chokes on time remapping, nested sequences and other of PPro's cool features. I have also had problems with audio in the timeline which was inserted as "subclips" from the bin - the exporter can't find the audio file.
Hope this helps, I haven't really solved the problem either.

Audition 5.0.1 crash on OMF export

I'm getting a crash everytime I try to export an OMF from Audition 5.0.1 ( and also from 5.0.0 )
I'm on a mac 10.7.3 any clues, anyone else seeing this?

Hi Durin
Actually no it wasn't working on 5.0 either, I tried installing the update patch in the hope it would fix it. Thanks for all your help with this.
Cheers Ben

Use Compressor to export to AVID DNXHD CODEC

Hey all,
I posted this question at the CreativeCow FCP forum - and than I thought maybe its a COMPRESSOR Forum question - so here it is:
I have installed AVID CODEC PACK LE
Currently I use FCP to export to DNXHD and its working OK (but slow).
I wanted to know if it is possible for me to use COMPRESSOR to export to AVID DNXHD CODEC.
I need it because a lot of times I need to export to this codec (for AVID System that does the Promos)
And I don't want to use FCP for that because I want to keep editing While I'm converting.
If Compressor can't export to DNXHD can I use QUICKTIME TO EXPORT TO DNX HD?
Thanks!

Create a new Quicktime Movie in Compressor. Open the Inspector window and click on the settings button next to "Video." Then click on the Compression Type pulldown menu and scroll up to the Avid section and choose "Avid DNxHD."
I've included a screen grab of what this looks like. http://www.box.net/shared/hzblfnsuu6

Question regarding export and import of Hyperion Security during upgrade

Hi Guys,
We are upgrading Essbase, Integration Services from 7x to 9x which are utilizing Hyperion Hub and we are going to follow the method of uninstalling 7x and reinstalling 9x components.
Now my question is, what is the best way of transferring security from 7x to 9x. I heard that Advanced Security Manager can be used to export and import back security. Or is there any
other way of doing it??
Can someone please enlighten me on this.
Thanks in advance

First let me say that any software that comes without a save button should be sold with a warning label.
Why?
Question 1: I have having an issue comprehending how to save a photo. In my case I select the photo, zoom in on the subject, export it to my desktop. The pciture on my desktop does not incorporate the change. Am I missing a step? What do I need to do to export it with this change? I actually watched a You Tube video on this and could not see what i was not doing.
You must have selected the wrong option in the Export dialog box. Under "File Settings", you need to select JPG and not "Original". Of course, you probably need to do some additional viewing of videos (or some reading) to learn that most people's workflow does not automatically include a "Save" or "Export" after editing the photo. It's not a necessary part of Lightroom's workflow, unless you need the photo for some non-Lightroom activity.
Question 2: I just installed Lightroom and am trying to import my 12k strong photo collection. The Import button pulls in about 2k and then cannot find anymore. The photos are stored in folders by date within a master folder. I am selecting the master folder. I can go in and import the sub-fodler individually. However i do not want to do that 200 times.There is no apparent way to go into the subfolder level and select more than one folder.
In the Import dialog box, on the left, under "Source", there is a checkbox that says "Include SubFolders". Make sure this is checked.
Seriously, you need to spend some time reading introductory material about LR because Lightroom does not work like any other photographic software you might have used in the past. You are handling it as if it was no different than standard photo editing software, and you are going to be frustrated if that is your mindset.
