To export sequences from Avid applications 2.5
and higher for import into Pro Tools, you can
choose from the following methods:
• Using the Send To templates to export an
AAF sequence
• Manually exporting an AAF sequence
• Exporting an AAF sequence directly to an
Interplay server (Media Composer 2.6 or
higher and Avid Interplay system required)
• Checking a sequence into Avid Interplay
for Pro Tools (Media Composer 2.6 or
higher and Avid Interplay system required)

The Send To Templates option lets you create
one AAF sequence that references audio and
video files used in the sequence, and save it to
the volume selected in your Avid Preferences.
