Chapter 4: Avid Unity ISIS Workflows for Pro Tools 43
Embedded in AAF This option embeds the video
media in the AAF sequence that is exported from
the Avid application.
7 Click the Audio Details tab, and select one of
the following from the Export Method pop-up
menu:
Link to (Don’t Export) Media The Pro Tools ses-
sion will link to the same audio files as the cur-
rent Avid sequence. Use this setting if the audio
files are currently stored on a volume suitable
for Pro Tools audio playback.
Copy Media New complete audio files will be
created on the designated volume.
Consolidate Media Similar to Copy All Media,
but only the parts of the audio which are actu-
ally used in the Timeline are copied. Use this set-
ting to copy the audio files to a volume suitable
for Pro Tools audio playback.
The following settings may also appear under
the Audio Details tab, depending on the selected
export method:
Render All Audio Effects Select the Render All
Audio Effects option so that all audio effects are
rendered before export. If you already manually
rendered effects, selecting this option will not
create new files. It is highly recommended that
all effects be rendered before exporting the se-
quence.
Include Rendered Audio Effects Select the In-
clude Rendered Audio Effects option. Otherwise,
the exported sequence will include the original
audio files without any AudioSuite effects from
the original sequence—even if those effects were
previously rendered.
Convert Audio Sample Rate/Bit Depth/File For-
mat Select Project for any of these, and the cur-
rent Audio Project Setting will be used.
While new audio files are typically stored in the
OMFI MediaFiles folder (for OMF media) or the
Avid MediaFiles folder (for MXF media), some
workflows let you choose a different target des-
tination for audio in the Media Destination sec-
tion of the Audio Details tab, as follows:
Media Drive This option exports audio media to
the OMFI or Avid MediaFiles folder on con-
nected storage. Select the Use Media Creation
Settings option to use the default settings, or de-
select that option to choose a media drive from
the pop-up menu.
Folder This option exports audio media to a spe-
cific folder. Select the Use Same Folder as AAF
File option to export the media into the same
folder you designated for exporting the AAF se-
quence, or deselect this option to select a spe-
cific folder location for the media.
Pro Tools cannot play video that is embed-
ded in an AAF sequence, but it can read the
video editing metadata when imported into
a satellite track. Do not use this option if
you want to import the video itself into
Pro Tools.
