Pro Tools Unity ISIS Guide44
Embedded in AAF This option embeds the audio
media in the AAF sequence that is exported from
the Avid application. Unlike embedded video,
Pro Tools can import and play audio which is
embedded in an AAF sequence. Embedding au-
dio within the AAF sequence makes file manage-
ment much simpler because there is only one
file to move—the sequence. There is a limit of
2 GB for embedded AAF.
8 Click Save or Save As in the Export Settings di-
alog:
• Click Save to use the specified settings
whenever Export to Pro Tools is selected
from the Export Settings menu. These set-
tings will also be used when choosing any
of the options located at File > Send To >
Digidesign Pro Tools to Unity.
• Click Save As to save these settings as a pre-
set with a different name. These settings
can then be recalled in the Export dialog. If
you click Save As instead of Save, the Ex-
port to Pro Tools settings will not be
changed.
9 Click Save in the Export As dialog. (The Export
Settings cannot be saved until you have selected
a target drive for both audio and video.)
When the export is complete, you are ready to
import the file into Pro Tools.
To export only part of a sequence:
1 Choose Clip > New Sequence to create a new
sequence.
2 In the bin, name the sequence and drag it to
the Record Monitor.
3 Drag your original sequence to the Source
Monitor.
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.
For more information on opening and im-
porting AAF sequences in Pro Tools, see
“Importing Audio and Video into
Pro Tools” on page 55. For more informa-
tion on the Import Session dialog, see the
Pro Tools Reference Guide.
