OMF File Question

When you save a Logic session as an OMF, does it save tempo information as well, or only audio info?
Thanks
Tom

is it necessary to configure OMF file system when configurig the database to use ASM .....Binaries need to be installed always on OMF because these should be recognized by the OS. Other files such as datafiles, control files etc. can be store on ASM or OMF.
which file system is better & whyStoring files on OMF requires the transfer of block from the disk to memory in unit of OS blocks. But if you store file such as datafiles which are mainly responsible for the I/O contention on ASM then the block transfer will take place in oracle block units which is any way faster then first approach. In comparison to this logfiles and controlfiles are accessed sequnetialy hence these are not get benifitted from ASM storage. So, better store these files on OMF.

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.

Exporting OMF files using Automatic Duck

So I downloaded the (now free) automatic duck Pro Export FCP in order to export an OMF from FCPX, and I have a couple questions....
First, has anyone here had any experience with using this method to export and work with OMF files? I know it's a fairly new addition to FCP X, but how well does it work? Many glitches? How well does automatic duck do at creating omfs? Was the transition to Pro Tools pretty seamless?
Second, I tried exporting an OMF of my sequence and about 3/4ths of the way through, automatic duck crashed and the file was corrupted as a result. I tried again two more times with the same result. Has anyone else encountered this? Any ideas of what could be causing the crash and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Automatic Duck no longer works at all with FCPX- I believe it broke several versions back. And since the developer was hired by Adobe it was abandoned. In order to get a mix into ProTools you'll need X2Pro:

Can not open OMF file in Soundtrack

I'm trying to open an OMF file in Soundtrack that was exported from FCP and it gives me this.
CNSExceptionWrapper
type = 16777216, error = 1886547263, message = error: Failed to open or create audio file for writing.
What should i do?

It's hard to judge your level of expertise, so forgive me if I'm being too basic. I don't know what that error means, but here are the things that I would start exploring
Have you had any success exporting omf files previously? If not, try creating a new sequence and just putting a few seconds of bars and tone in the sequence and see if that will export as an omf and import into soundtrackpro.
Are all your sources 16 bit 48k aiff files? If not, convert them.
Try duplicating your sequence in fcp and deleting the second half of the sequence and see if the omf export will be successful. If it is, try duplicating the original sequence again and deleting the first half and see if that will work. If there's a problematic clip, this is the technique to use to find it.
If neither half exports successfully to soundtrack pro, try copying the contents of your sequence to a new sequence.
You could just send your sequence to soundtrack pro from within fcp.
Post back with detailed answers and we can continue troubleshooting.

CGI map file questions, help !!!

I am trying to use the CGI map file to open web reports. I got two questions at this time.
1. How to refresh the report to reflect resent edits ? I used the CGI map to open a report. Later, I made some edits to the report and opened it again. However, the browser showed the report before the edit. I had to save the report to different file name and edited the key in the map file to show the edited report. This should not be the right way.
2. How to open a report on a separated screen which is on top of the original one ?
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Kate.
As far as a find and replace tool is concerned, most of us
here prefer using some tool such as FAR or BkReplacem as they offer
more features to help in this kind of scenario. The simple answer
is however that these tools, as indeed does the inbuilt tool, bases
it's search on the HTML. Therefore if there are specific instances
of HTML strings you will have to analyse carefully them before you
replace anything. It sounds like you are already some down down
this line. Take a backup of your project and test out your theory.
As far as your map file question is concerned, you can safely
reimport your map file PROVIDED that no changes have been made to
the mapids in the meantime. Personally I wouldn't do this unless
you are 100% sure of this. If it is a case of having 100s of topics
that are not mapped and never have been but could be, I'd just
create a new map file and map away.

Importing OMF files created from Final Cut 4.5

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to import an OMF file created from Final Cut 4.5 and I'm getting a message saying "skipping audio part- edit point 190316987 too big." After I hit OK, I get thrown out of Logic 7. Has anyone had a similiar message, and if they did what did you do?

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.

Importing OMF files

Hello, I'm having trouble importing OMF files into Soundtrack Pro. Today, I exported an OMF file from FCP and want to import that file into Soundtrack Pro. But, when I launch Soundtrack Pro and go to the File (drop down) Menu, I do not get an option to import files. I only see an export option under the File Menu. Has anyone every experience this problem? Btw, I'm new to Soundtrack Pro....
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Archieh

Welcome that is odd if the menu is grayed out. What version are you running? 2.0.2 is the current from the Final Cut Studio suite, or 2.0.1 from the Logic Studio suite.

QuickTime using PlayList with OMF file

I have a OMF video file. It is composed of many individual video clips combined together as a OMF video file.   I could get a playlist from our video creater that has the information of each of the video files (like the timestamp information where the start and end of a video file).   I am sure I am using the correct terminology, but I think the idea is there.
I will be given a playlist for a different filtering of the OMF video file.   I want the ability to tell the video player which video clip to show.
I believe Quicktime is able to view OMF files, but I don't know if it can handle playlist, etc.
The OMF video file will be download to the iPad and I was planing on using power point to show a video for each of the slides.   Each of the slide is part of the playlist that I want to show.   So for Slide #1, I will program in the power point the controls to start the iPad player and instruct which playlist to play.
I appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks,

QuickTime version 10.3 found in Mavericks drops support for dozens of legacy formats and codecs.
The same files will work in the free version of QuickTime Player 7 without the need of a Pro upgrade.
If your registration shows as "invalid" then 99% of the time the name and number fields did not exactly match that found in the email.

Help Need-All of a sudden can't import/open .OMF file without Logic quit

Hi all. Been a looong time since I posted but I'm back with a serious dilemma. I'm working on a short film with a deadline that's coming at me fast and furious. I just picked up an updated version of the .omf file and all of a sudden it won't load without logic quitting on me. What's going on? My Logic beahavior has seemed a little off but not noticibly disfunctional lately. do I need to toss my prefs? How do I do this if so? I'm always worried I'll delete something I can't recover...
I think that's about it. Let me know if I need to clarify the situation. This all worked fine a couple weeks ago. I'm using the powerbook 15" template video for NTSC. I'm clueless now and really need help. THANKS!

Nobody has any idea why this might be happening? Can anybody at least cue me in on how I should go about dumping my LP7 prefs and then replacing them or updating them again?
thanks!

Logic pro mix of avid omf files

i am researching if i can do a logic pro (or soundtrack) mix based on avid omf files, then re-import the mix files back into avid...
would using aiff files make this any easier?
thanks

Hi,
I did this last year and Logic Pro can import OMF files, but as mentioned this can be hit or miss... OMF is notoriously difficult to deal with between certain platforms and versions. I found that FCP's OMF outputs always opened in Logic without problems but it was hit or miss with AVID's - strange since it's their format!!
I would do a test to see if you have any import problems if you go with this workflow.
I will say that Logic (in it's current version) is not a good program for doing audio post - it's just not in the same league as Pro Tools in terms of simplicity and workflow. I spent a whole year trying to wean myself off of Pro Tools for audio post work, but all I learned from that experience was how much I wanted to back in PT. I really like Logic for music composition - it's better IMHO than PT for this type of work, but is suck for post. You may want to consider a DV toolkit version of PT for this kind of work (DV toolkit has the timecode ruler and OMF tools you will need). It's expensive, but IMHO a much better tool for the job.
As for audio format - use .WAV as it will work with either Mac or PC based AVID systems (PC based AVIDs don't know what an AIFF is). This avoids having to do a separate audio layback and it works like a charm - I never had any sync issues. Hope this helps.

Is there a way to view contents of an OMF file?

I'm trying to import an OMF file but it seems like it won't import, so I'm hoping to dig out some of its contents.
Can anyone help?

thanks, maybe I just need to be more patient. It's aobut 82 megs.
I'm running 10.4.9. I think the OMF is from FCP, but I don't know. I'm doing a quick sound design job. It's only my third (sound design) job and only the second time I've imported an OMF.
I get the progress bar that says "importing media" or something like that, but it doesn't appear to be making any progress.
I'm going to try to import before bed in case it's just going to take a long time. In the meantime, I'm working off of a quicktime and some music that has since been replaced.

Importing 32 bit aifs and OMF files into Logic

Is it possible to import 32 bit aifs into Logic Express 7 and arrange using an OMF file? If so, how?!
Please help. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried importing it into iTunes? If that works, you could use iTunes to turn it into a file that GB can handle:

OMF file will export, but will not open

Hello
I need to export a sequence to an omf file. When I export to omf, it looks like it's exporting normally, but when I try to open the file, it will not open. Oh, and the icon after export is gray with no logo. Am I missing something?
Please help.
Thanks,
Anneita

The OMF file must be imported into an application
that can read OMF files.
Such as Logic Pro, Protools, Digital Performer, etc.,
i.e. a multitrack audio editor that specifically
supports OMF, (e.g. Protools LE won't, unless you
have the DV Toolkit installed). What/who were you
making the OMF for?
Thank you.
The video's audio consisted of voices only. I needed to export it to an omf file for an audio house. They were to sweeten up the voices to accompany a live orchestral performance at Symphony Hall in Boston. This was a last minute fix, as the performance was on the following day, so there was a crunch. As it turned out, THEY were able to open the omf file perfectly with whatever they were using, and were able to sweeten it up just fine.
Live and learn.
Thanks for all your input.
