Chapter 4: Importing AAF and OMF to Pro Tools
23
If this setting differs from the Source Audio Sample Rate
setting, audio is sample-rate converted digitally to the
Destination Audio Sample Rate.
Conversion Quality Pop-Up Menu
This pop-up menu lets you choose settings correspond-
ing to Pro Tools sample rate conversion settings. The
“Tweak Head (Slowest)” setting provides the best re-
sults.
AAF/OMF Source Track Translation
Settings
DigiTranslator 2.0 and higher provides specific options
for “translating” audio clips when importing AAF se-
quences or OMF files and sequences.
Session Data to Import Pop-Up Menu
(Pro Tools HD Only)
The Session Data to Import pop-up menu lets you select
which attributes of the selected tracks you want to im-
port into the current session. The selected attributes are
applied to all tracks that you chose to import into the
current session.
Ignore Rendered Audio Effects
Enabling the Ignore Rendered Audio Effects option im-
ports clips as audio regions without the rendered effects,
such as EQ, that are applied to the clip. You might do
this if you want to use Pro Tools audio effects and audio
processing exclusively for your audio post production
work. The resulting audio with this setting is the un-
processed source material.
Clip-Based Gain Pop-Up Menu
The Clip-Based Gain pop-up menu lets you map clip-
based gain settings in the sequence you are importing to
Pro Tools breakpoint automation, or ignore clip-based
gain entirely. Media Composer and other Avid products
provide clip-based gain to adjust the volume of an indi-
vidual audio clip. This differs from Pro Tools volume ad-
justments for an entire track, or volume breakpoint au-
tomation.
Ignore Clip-Based Gain
Use this setting to discard the project’s clip-based gain
settings, and adjust volume using Pro Tools mixing ca-
pabilities.
Convert Clip-Based Gain to Automation
Clip-based gain is translated to breakpoint automation
in Pro Tools. Breakpoint automation is ramped across
crossfades. Clip-based gain exceeding +6 dB will be ig-
nored by sessions saved in versions of Pro Tools lower
than 6.4.
