only. Then, if the video in your project changes,
you can export video only, then add that video
into AVoption or AVoption XL to stay current
with the project.
For more information, and specific workflows
for add and export, see the DigiTranslator Guide
(DigiTranslator is included in the AVoption and
AVoption XL packages).
Preparing for Export in Media
Composer
To prepare a Media Composer project for OMF
export and use with AVoption or AVoption XL:
◆ Make sure all media for the project is online.
◆ Render all effects in advance. OMF export
does not automatically render effects during the
process, so if you want to see them, you must
render effects before you export.
Exporting from Media Composer
To export a file from Media Composer:
1 Select the material to export by doing one of
the following:
• To select specific tracks in a clip or sequence,
enable those tracks in the Track Selector
panel, and disable all others.
• To export part of a clip or sequence, mark IN
and OUT points to export the marked range
from a bin or monitor, and select Use Marks in
the Export Settings dialog box. If you mark an
IN and no OUT point, the system exports
from the IN mark to the end of the clip or se-
quence.
• To export the entire clip or sequence, deselect
the options Use Enabled Tracks and Use Marks
in the Export Settings dialog box, and make
sure the topmost track in the project is moni-
tored.
• If using different drives to transport the
project, consolidate the project.
2 Choose File > Export.
• Under Export File type, select OMFI composi-
tion.
• If adding video and audio into an AVoption
session, select Standard-AIFC and Video and
Audio options.
• If adding video only into AVoption, select
Video Only.
• Usually, you should export an OMF file that
only refers to the audio and video files that al-
ready exist on the hard drives. For this reason,
it is recommended that you do not export
With Media.
3 Set the Version to OMFI 2.0.
4 When you finish setting export options, click
OK.
5 Run DigiTranslator.
