Matching Tracks
In the Import Session Data dialog, you can make
sure track names match when you are importing
playlists from source tracks with the same name as
destination tracks in the current session (such as a
new cut of a scene). Click
Matching Tracks to au-
tomatically match the track names. Tracks must
have the same name, track type, and channel for-
mat to be automatically matched.
Track Data to Import
In the Import Session Data dialog, the Track Data
to Import
pop-up menu is where you select which
attributes of the selected tracks you want to import
into the current session.
Selected attributes are applied to all tracks that you
choose to import into the current session.
Replacing Track Attributes
When you import an attribute of the source track
into an existing track in the current session, it re-
places the corresponding attribute in the destina-
tion track. If you choose not to import an attribute
of the source track, the corresponding attribute in
the destination track is
retained.
Replacing Track Path Names
When you import a track’s input, output, send out-
put or hardware insert assignments, any custom
path names and I/O configurations from the source
session are not imported. You can import path
names and I/O configurations by importing
I/O
