Chapter 4: Avid Unity ISIS Workflows for Pro Tools 51
rently have no media in those folders. You can-
not save these export settings until you have
highlighted a target volume. Striped drives ap-
pear in bold type.
Handle Length Extends the beginning and end
of the consolidated file by the specified number
of frames. This lets you trim edits later, though
the sequence would need to be re-edited in the
Avid application.
Render Video Effects Always select Render Video
Effects. If you already manually rendered effects,
selecting this option will not create new files. It
is highly recommended that all effects be ren-
dered manually before exporting the sequence.
Transcode Video To Use this only if you need to
change the video resolution. Pro Tools with an
Avid video peripheral supports all resolutions
supported by Avid applications, so in most cases
this will not be necessary.
7 Click the Audio Details tab, and select one of
the following from the Export Method pop-up
menu:
Link to Current Media The Pro Tools session will
link to the same audio files as the current Avid
sequence. Choose this setting in a single-user
scenario in which the audio files are currently
stored on a volume suitable for Pro Tools audio
playback (such as an ISIS volume).
Copy Media and Link to Copied Media New com-
plete audio files will be created on the desig-
nated volume.
Choose this option in a multi-user scenario in
which the Pro Tools user is receiving the se-
quence for the first time and will copy the media
to their respective Workspace.
Consolidate and Link to Consolidated Media Sim-
ilar to Copy Media, but only the parts of the au-
dio files which are actually used in the Timeline
are copied.
Choose this setting in a multi-user scenario in
which the Pro Tools user may already be work-
ing on media from the sequence, and will copy
the changed material to their respective Work-
space.
The following settings may also appear under
the Audio Details tab, depending on the selected
export method:
If your Pro Tools system is running on a
slower computer, you may be able to reduce
some of the CPU load in Pro Tools by
transcoding the video to 1:1 on export. 1:1
video is uncompressed, and consequently it
does not need to be decompressed before
playing back. However, 1:1 video requires
significant amounts of storage space.

Do not use either Embed Media or Consoli-
date and Embed Media for video media.
Pro Tools does not import the video from
AAF sequences containing embedded video.
