What’s New in Pro Tools 9.018
Importing RTAS Plug-in Data From AAF
Sequences
Avid Media Composer (version 5 and higher)
lets you process audio tracks with RTAS (Real
Time AudioSuite) plug-ins. Pro Tools 9.0 lets you
import RTAS plug-in data from audio tracks in
Media Composer–generated AAF sequences.
New Import AAF and OMF
Translation Options
Pro Tools 9.0 provides a new Import Translation
option and slight changes to two existing op-
tions when importing AAF and OMF sequences.
Ignore Auto-Gain
Keyframe gain is referred to as “Auto-Gain” in
Media Composer, and has been renamed in
Pro Tools to match. The Ignore Keyframe Gain op-
tion is now the Ignore Auto-Gain option.
Pan Odd Tracks Left/Even Tracks Right
The Pan Odd Tracks Left/Even Tracks Right setting
enables you to set the basic track pan setting so
that odd-numbered tracks translate with full-left
panning, and even-numbered tracks translate
with full-right panning. However, when import-
ing stereo AAF audio tracks into Pro Tools, the
Pan Odd Tracks Left/Even Tracks Right setting in
the Import Session Data window is greyed out
and unavailable.
Locators To Import
Pro Tools 9.0 lets you import Media Composer
locators as Pro Tools markers. The Locators to
Import menu lets you choose to import all loca-
tors, no locators or locators of certain colors.
To import all locators:
 Click the Locators to Import menu and
choose All.
To import no locators,
 Click the Locators to Import menu and
choose None.
To import locators based on locator color,
1 Click the Locators to Import menu.
2 Select the colors of locators you want to im-
port. Check marks will appear next to the colors
you choose.
Pro Tools 9.0 does not export RTAS plug-in
data when exporting an AAF for use with
Media Composer. Because Pro Tools mixes
often contain complex busing, routing, and
plug-in automation, tracks should be
printed or bounced to retain new processing
changes before exporting to AAF.
