Selecting a Unity Workspace When
Importing Session Data
When using the Import Session Data dialog to
import audio files with Copy or Consolidate
Source selected in the Audio Media Options
pop-up menu, all new audio files are stored on
the volumes designated for their respective tar-
get tracks in the Disk Allocation dialog.
When importing video files (such as from a CD),
the video files are copied by default to the same
volume that holds the session file. To have the
files copied to another volume, open the Work-
space browser, and select T in the volume desig-
nation column for all volumes except the vol-
ume where you want the video to be stored. To
ensure that the files are not copied to the root
level of the volume, create a folder with the ses-
sion name on the desired Unity workspace, then
create a folder within that session folder named
Video Files.
Importing an Avid Video Mixdown
into Pro Tools
(Versions of Media Composer Prior to 2.5
Only)
You can import an OMF or MXF video file into
Pro Tools. You might do this, for example, to
import a video mixdown created in the Avid ap-
plication.
To import Avid video into Pro Tools:
1 Create a new Pro Tools session or open an ex-
isting session.
2 Choose File > Import > Video.
3 In the Select Video File to Import dialog, lo-
cate the video file in the Avid MediaFiles folder
(for MXF media) or OMFI MediaFiles folder (for
OMF media) stored on your video storage.
4 Click Open.
Pro Tools imports the video file into the Video
track.
