Chapter 4: Avid Unity ISIS Workflows for Pro Tools 69
Importing Pro Tools Audio Files
Back into the Avid Editing
Application
(Media Composer 2.6 or Higher and Avid
Interplay Systems Only)
After you have checked out the completed audio
stems to the Pro Tools sequence on the Interplay
server, you must import the sequence back into
the Avid application.
To import the sequence back into the Avid editing
application:
1 In the Avid application, open the Interplay
Window and navigate to the location of the
checked in Pro Tools sequence.
2 Drag the sequence into the bin.
The Avid application checks out the sequence
and imports it and its related files into the bin.
3 You can now do one of the following:
• Add the new audio tracks into the original
sequence.
– or –
• Work with the imported sequence.
In this example, the Pro Tools audio tracks are
added into the original sequence.
4 Load the imported sequence into the Source
monitor.
5 Add the audio into the original sequence us-
ing standard editing techniques.
Interplay browser
Depending on edits made in Pro Tools, you
might see several audio files with names
containing the prefix “Sample accurate
edit.” For more information, see “Frame-
Rate Accurate Video Editing and Sample-
Rate Accurate Audio Editing” on page 70.

Bin after import
If you plan to check in the sequence to Inter-
play for Pro Tools again, it is simpler to im-
port the audio into the original sequence.
Every time you export a sequence for
Pro Tools, the system appends the text
“_vx_forPT,” where x is the number of
times the sequence has been exported. It can
become confusing if several similar text
strings are appended to the name.
For more information, see the documenta-
tion (PDF or Help file) for your Avid editing
application.
