Chapter 4: Avid Unity ISIS Workflows for Pro Tools 49
Consolidating media will place new files on
drives specified in those dialogs. New video files
will be stored in the OMFI MediaFiles folder (for
OMF media) or the Avid MediaFiles folder (for
MXF media). You should be certain that the
drives to which you are exporting currently
have no media in those folders.
Choose this option for a multi-user scenario in
which the Pro Tools editor only needs access to
the material in the sequence and is likely work-
ing on a different computer or volume.
3 If you want to view or change export settings,
click the Options button, and then make any
changes (such as switching from the default AAF
to the OMF format). If you make any changes,
you can use the Save As Template button to cre-
ate a new template.
4 Click Set.
5 Navigate to the location where you want the
AAF sequence to reside.

The Avid application exports the files to the des-
tination folder. If the Avid application has to
transcode video files to a new resolution, render
effects or perform audio file conversions, a new
sequence appears in the bin with the name file-
name.Export.01, and a new audio master clip ap-
pears in the bin with the name filename.new.01.

fault values. This means that you are ex-
porting using the Project sample rate, audio
