2 Drag the sequence into the bin.
The Avid application checks out the sequence
and imports it and its related files into the bin.

• Add the new audio tracks into the original
sequence.
– or –
• Work with the imported sequence.
In this example, the Pro Tools audio tracks are
added into the original sequence.
4 Load the imported sequence into the Source
monitor.
5 Add the audio into the original sequence us-
ing standard editing techniques.
The following illustration shows the audio
tracks cut into the original sequence. In this ex-
ample, the original tracks are overwritten.
6 Now you can use the Avid application to make
any adjustments to the sequence and do the fol-
lowing:
• Create a digital cut.
• Perform a Send to Playout operation.
• Check in the sequence to Interplay for
Pro Tools if the Pro Tools editor needs to
work on the sequence again.
Bin after import
If you plan to check in the sequence to Inter-
play for Pro Tools again, it is simpler to im-
port the audio into the original sequence.
Every time you export a sequence for
Pro Tools, the system appends the text
“_forPT_x,” where x is the number of times
the sequence has been exported. It can be-
come confusing if several similar text strings
are appended to the name.
For more information, see the documenta-
tion (PDF or Help file) for your Avid editing
application.
