Exporting Audio from
Pro Tools for Media Station PT
In Pro Tools, you can export audio tracks for use
in Media Station|PT using any of the following
methods:
• Exporting selected tracks as an AAF se-
quence
• Bouncing to disk
• Exporting edited audio tracks to Interplay
from Pro Tools (Avid Interplay system re-
quired)
For other export methods, see the Pro Tools Ref-
erence Guide.
Exporting Tracks as AAF
Sequences
Use Export Selected Tracks as OMF/AAF to ex-
port individual tracks or an entire Pro Tools ses-
sion in AAF format.
To export selected audio tracks from Pro Tools as
an AAF sequence:
1 In Pro Tools, select the tracks you want to ex-
port in the Pro Tools session by Shift-clicking
the names of each track.
2 Choose File > Export > Selected Tracks as
OMF/AAF.
3 Under OMF/AAF Options, choose AAF from
the Export As pop-up menu.
4 Select Enforce Avid Compatibility.
Enforce Avid Compatibility creates frame-accu-
rate edits, wraps the files as OMFI (unless you
choose MXF), and limits the sample rate options
to 44.1 or 48 kHz. Dithering without noise shap-
ing will be applied to files being exported from
24-bit to 16-bit.
5 Ensure that the Target Project Time Code For-
mat pop-up menu displays the correct frame
rate for the Media Station|PT project.
6 Click OK.
Tracks are exported in their entirety and
time selections are ignored.
Volume and pan automation is not retained
on export if Quantize Edits to Frame Bound-
aries is enabled (Avid Compatibility Mode).
The Movie track cannot be exported to AAF
or OMF from Pro Tools.
Export to OMF/AAF dialog
An OMF sequence cannot reference MXF
media files. In the Export Selected Tracks as
OMF/AAF dialog, MXF is only available
when AAF is selected in the Export As pop-
up menu
