Importing Grouped Playlists
from Other Sessions
You can import tracks that use Grouped Playlists
from another Pro Tools session, and the playlist
grouping function will remain intact for those im-
ported tracks. There is, however, a restriction for
importing from pre-Pro Tools 6.1 sessions: After
importing a partial set of grouped playlists (such as
tracks 1–7 of a 10-track group), you cannot subse-
quently import tracks 8–10 and have them rejoin
the playlist group for tracks 1–7.
Importing Sessions and Tracks
by Drag and Drop
Session files can be dragged into the current
session to import (and spot) audio, video, MIDI,
clip group, REX and ACID files, tracks, and
session data.
• Dragging a session to the Clip List imports all
the clips from that session (without importing
tracks).
• Dragging a session to a track in Pro Tools lets
you import tracks.
• Dragging a session to a track playlist in
Pro Tools opens the Import Session Data dialog,
letting you select tracks and attributes to import.
The imported session data will begin wherever
you drop the session in the Timeline.
To import tracks and other session data by drag
and drop:
1 Open a browser.
2 Drag a Pro Tools session file, or an AAF or
OMF sequence, into the current session, as
follows:
• Drag onto an existing track to overlay or over-
write data on the target tracks. Hold the Shift key
while dragging if you intend to replace the cur-
rent track playlists with those being imported
(the Shift key pre-configures the settings in the
Import Session Data dialog).
• Drag to empty space in the Edit window to cre-
ate new tracks for the imported session data.
• Configure the Import Session Data options (see
“Import Session Data Dialog” on page 358).
Imported tracks are made inactive if their
source media is unavailable, or if the cur-
rent session does not contain an equiva-
lent output path.
