Importing Sequences from Pro Tools through Interplay
317
A progress box appears as the clips import. When the import is complete, the clips appear in
the active bin. You can play and edit the clips; the media resides on the P2 card. If you leave
your Avid editing application and then restart it, you see the clips in the bin, but the media is
offline. You need to import the clips again to continue working with them.
To import media from a P2 card:
1. Open and select the bin where you want to import the clips to.
2. Select the master clips, sequences, or a combination which you want to import media.
3. Select File > Import P2 > Media.
4. Follow steps 3 and 4 in the preceding procedure.
The system consolidates the items selected according to the current settings in the Media
Creation Import tab.
Importing Sequences from Pro Tools through
Interplay
You can import a sequence you have worked on in Pro Tools back into your Avid editing
application. You need to have checked the sequence into Interplay from Pro Tools.
To import a sequence from Pro Tools:
1. Open the Interplay Window and navigate to the location of the checked-in sequence.
2. Click the sequence and drag it into your bin.
Your Avid editing application checks out the sequence and imports the sequence and the
related files into the bin. For more information, see “Using Pro Tools and Interplay” in Avid
Interplay Best Practices.
