Pro Tools Unity ISIS Guide38
MXF and OMF Files
Pro Tools treats all MXF and OMF media that are
both created by Avid and stored on Unity shared
storage as read-only. Consequently, destructive
editing tools cannot be used to modify MXF and
OMF media files. However, you can delete or
overwrite MXF and OMF files.
Because Pro Tools creates both MXF/OMF and
non-MXF/OMF media files, these destructive ed-
iting tools can be used on non-MXF/OMF media
created by Pro Tools. When you are working in
an ISIS system, you should always create a copy
of an audio file before applying a destructive
change.
Use the Duplicate or Consolidate com-
mands in Pro Tools to make non-OMF or
non-MXF copies of audio files for destruc-
tive editing.
