Exporting Audio Files Using
Bounce to Disk
Use the Bounce to Disk command to create pre-
mixed files of the current Pro Tools session. This
does not export all of the individual files on the
Timeline, but it does guarantee that the mix you
hear in the Avid application will be identical to
the mix you hear in Pro Tools, including all pan-
ning, effects and automation.
To export audio files using Bounce to Disk:
1 In Pro Tools, finalize the mix.
2 Select the time range of the session that you
want to export. (All audible tracks in that time
range will be included in the bounce, whether
they are selected or not.)
3 Choose File > Bounce to > Disk.
4 Select the Enforce Avid Compatibility option.
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 bounced from
24-bit to 16-bit.
5 Choose a file type from the File Type pop-up
menu.
6 Click Bounce.
7 In the Publishing Options dialog, type the
Pro Tools Comment and Clip Name.
If you selected more than one region for export,
the Clip Name field will not be available and the
names of the regions will be used for the ex-
ported files.
8 Choose the Target Project Time Code Format.
9 Click OK.
10 In the Save Bounce As dialog, navigate to the
volume you will use for audio playback in the
Avid application.
• For MXF audio files, ensure the file is saved
to the Avid MediaFiles folder.
• For all other audio files, ensure the file is
saved to the OMFI MediaFiles folder.
11 Click Save.
All audible audio in the selection will be ex-
ported to two multi-mono audio files.
Exporting Edited Audio Tracks to
Interplay from Pro Tools
After you edit the audio material from the se-
quence, you can export the audio tracks back
into the sequence in Interplay.
To export audio tracks from Pro Tools, and then
check in audio tracks to Interplay:
1 In Pro Tools, select the tracks that you want to
export into the Pro Tools sequence on Interplay.
2 Select File > Export > Selected Tracks to Se-
quence in Avid Interplay.
3 In the Export Comment dialog, type a com-
ment and click OK.
4 In the Replace or Add Selected Tracks dialog,
select a method for laying back edited audio ma-
terial into the Pro Tools sequence residing on
the Interplay server:
Replace with Selected Tracks Replaces the old
audio tracks in the Pro Tools sequence with the
edited audio tracks. Select this option if you do
not want to preserve the original audio in the se-
quence.
It is recommended that you provide com-
pleted audio stems rather than audio tracks
with edits.
