Track Data to Import Pop-Up Menu
The Track Data to Import pop-up menu lets you se-
lect which attributes of the selected tracks you
want to import into the current session. The se-
lected attributes are applied to all tracks that you
choose to import into the current session. For more
information about
Track Data To Import options,
see “Track Data to Import” on page 362.
Importing RTAS Plug-In Settings from AAF
Avid Media Composer 5 and higher lets you pro-
cess audio tracks with RTAS plug-ins. Pro Tools
lets you import RTAS plug-in data from audio
tracks in Media Composer-generated AAF se-
quences. Plug-in type, order, and control settings
are preserved.
When importing an AAF into Pro Tools, use the
Track Data to Import menu to specify whether or
not to import the plug-ins and plug-in settings.
To import plug-in settings when importing AAF
tracks or sequences:
1 Open the Track Data to Import menu.
2 Do one of the following:
• Choose
All.
• Choose
Some, and ensure that Plug-in
Assignments
is selected.
To avoid importing plug-in settings when
importing AAF tracks or sequences:
1 Open the Track Data to Import menu.
2 Choose Some, and ensure that Plug-in
Assignments
is deselected.
Unlike Pro Tools Markers, which only mark
specific points in time in a session, Media
Composer Markers point specifically to indi-
vidual audio or video tracks. Information on
which track each Marker was associated with
can be found in the Comments section in the
Memory Locations window in Pro Tools.
When Media Composer Markers are im-
ported to Pro Tools as Markers, the associ-
ated comment text is added to the Marker
name in Pro Tools (up to 31 characters).
Comments over 31 characters can be viewed
in full in the Memory Locations window in
Pro Tools.
Pro Tools cannot export RTAS plug-in data
when outputting an AAF for use with Media
Composer. Because Pro Tools mixes often
contain complex busing, routing, and plug-in
automation, tracks should be printed or
bounced to retain new processing changes
before exporting to AAF.
