3 Type a name and select a location for the ex-
ported sequence.
4 Select Export to Pro Tools from the Export Set-
tings menu at the bottom of the Export As dia-
log.
5 Click the Options button to open the Export
to Pro Tools Settings dialog. Verify the settings:
• For Export As, select AAF.
• Select the Include All Video Tracks in Se-
quence option. When the sequence is im-
ported into Pro Tools. All of the video
tracks will be “flattened” so that the im-
ported sequence shows only a single video
stream.
• Deselect the Include All Audio Tracks in Se-
quence option if you do not want to export
any audio.
6 In the Video Details tab, select one of the fol-
lowing from the Export Method pop-up menu:
Link to (Don’t Export) Media The Pro Tools ses-
sion will link to the same video files as the cur-
rent Media Station|PT sequence. Use this setting
if the video files are currently stored on a vol-
ume suitable for Pro Tools video playback.
Copy All Media New complete video files will be
created on the designated volume.
Consolidate Media Similar to Copy All Media,
but only the parts of the video clips which are
actually used in the Timeline are copied. Use
this setting to copy the video files to a volume
suitable for Pro Tools video playback.
Video Mixdown The exported AAF sequence will
reference a video mixdown with or without its
corresponding metadata for individual edits.
The following settings may also appear under
the Video Details tab, depending on the selected
export method:
Media Destinations Choose where to store cop-
ied video files.
Handle Length Extends the beginning and end
of the consolidated file by the specified number
of frames. This lets you trim edits later, though
the sequence would need to be re-edited in
Media Station|PT. (Pro Tools does not support
trimming video regions, so you can save space
and time by setting this to 0.)
Render Video Effects Always select Render Video
Effects. If you already manually rendered effects,
selecting this option will not create new files. It
is highly recommended that all effects be ren-
dered before exporting the sequence. (See “Ren-
dering All Effects” on page 60.)
