Chapter 5: Exporting AAF, MXF, and OMF from Pro Tools

AudioSuite with Region List If the file was created by Au-
dioSuite, using the Region List option, the time stamp
reflects the original time stamp of the source file. For ex-
ample, if you record a file from 1:00 to 2:00m then trim
it to start at 1:15, the file is duplicated, processed with
the plug-in, and the new time stamp is 1:15.
Existing Time Stamp If a file is imported with an existing
time stamp, it will remain the time stamp for the ex-
ported file as well. If the original file contained a time
stamp in the format wrapper, it will be copied to the
OMF wrapper when exported.
Exporting a File With No Time Stamp
If you import a file that does not contain a time stamp
(such as a sound effect from a CD), the time stamp will
be 0 when it is exported.
Importing Files from an Avid AAF or OMF
Sequence
If you import a file from an Avid AAF or OMF sequence,
the media file's source tape time stamp becomes the
original time stamp of the new Pro Tools file. The User
Timestamp maintains the original time stamp.
DigiBase provides columns for specific Avid OMF
metadata, including: Clip Name, Tape, FPS, Orig-
inal Timestamp, and User Timestamp.
