The following Import Options are available in the
Import Session Data dialog:

ter Conductor rulers, from the source session. Any

Import Marker/Memory Locations Imports mark-
ers and Memory Locations as they appear in the
Marker ruler, from the source session. Any mark-
ers and Memory Locations in the destination ses-
sion are retained. Imported marker and Memory
Locations are assigned the next available
Marker/Memory Location numbers.
Import Window Configurations Imports the Win-
dow Configurations from the source session.
Import Mic Pre Settings Imports any Pro Tools
Mic Pre settings from the source session. Any Mic
Pre settings in the destination session are replaced.

Main Playlist Options
In the Import Session Data dialog, you can select
from the following options to control how the main
playlist from each source track is imported to the
destination track in the current session.
Import – Replace Existing Playlists Imports the
main playlist from the source track. When you im-
port the playlist into an existing track, the main
playlist in the destination track is deleted and re-
placed with the imported playlist.
 If you select this option and import all of the
source track’s attributes, this is equivalent to im-
porting the entire track.
 If you select this option and do not import any
of the source track’s attributes, you replace the au-
dio playlists while keeping your current mixer set-
tings.
Import – Overlay New On Existing Playlists Im-
ports the main playlist from the source track. When
you import the playlist into an existing track, any
existing playlist data that overlaps data imported
from the source track is trimmed and replaced with
the imported data. Any playlist data in the destina-
tion track that does not overlap remains in the des-
tination track.
Do Not Import Does not import the main playlist
from the source track. No audio is imported; only
the attributes selected in the
Track Data to Import
list are imported to the selected tracks. When se-
lected, importing all of the source track’s input,
output, send, insert and plug-in attributes is equiv-
alent to importing a channel strip.
