Importing AAF or OMF Sequences
into Pro Tools
With DigiTranslator 2.0 or higher, you can open and
import AAF or OMF sequences directly into Pro Tools.
When opening and importing an AAF or OMF sequence
the New Session dialog opens, prompting you to name
and save the sequence as a new session. Once you name
and save the new session, the Import Session Data dia-
log opens. For more information, see “AAF/OMF Source
Track Translation Settings” on page 23.
Importing an AAF or OMF Sequence as a
Pro Tools Session
The easiest way of using Pro Tools to edit a sequence ex-
ported from an Avid application (such as Media Sta-
tion|PT) is to open it as a new session.
To open and import an AAF or OMF sequence in Pro Tools:
1 Launch Pro Tools.
2 Choose File > Open Session.
3 In the Open Session dialog, navigate to the AAF or
OMF sequence you want to import.
4 Click Open.
5 Name your session in the File Name field.
6 If opening an AAF or OMF sequence saved to be com-
patible with a previous version of Pro Tools, select
+12 dB for the Fader Gain to avoid any flattening of
gain applied in the Avid sequence.
7 Select the I/O Settings to use for the session. Several
pre-configured I/O Settings are included with your sys-
tem, or you can select a custom I/O Setting that you
have created.
Pro Tools cannot play MXF audio or video files
embedded within an AAF sequence.
