Getting OMF into Avid
by Mike Sussman on Jul 1, 2009 at 7:43:14 pm

I've got a few animations created in After Effects and exported to OMF files. There is no audio involved. I already know you can't "import" OMF files directly into Avid like you can with a MOV file. How specifically do I get these OMF files into my Avid Media Composer to edit the video within a project/bin?

Our Avids' media is stored on a series of lanshare drives. I'm pretty sure the first step is for me to just open up the lanshare drives, open up one of the OMFI MediaFiles folders, open up one of the various subfolders within that OMFI MediaFiles folder, and then just drag and drop my OMFI file into that folder.

But then what exactly do I do to easily locate and then edit that media with my Avid project. I'm hoping you don't say to use the media Tool to scan the entire lanshare for orphan files, because that seems like a bunch of work to be repeating several times a day. If I'm correct about dropping the OMF file into one of the drives folders, what next?
