Exporting audio levels to OMFs?
by Erin Casper on Aug 15, 2008 at 9:15:53 pm

Does Final Cut export rubberbanding information to OMF files?

I'm sending work to ProTools, and would like to know that my audio work (level keyframes, pans, etc.) will stay intact.

I am working on FCP v. 5.1.4.

Thanks!

It does, but the audio designers I work with do not bring that information in with the projects. They start from scratch.

Thanks for the quick reply! I thought it did, too. Does it do it by default or is there a Preference I need to set? I've exported some OMFs to my re-recording mixer, and he says the info is NOT coming over. He's pretty experienced with his side of the equation and, frankly, his set-up (software, hardware) is much more professional than where I'm coming from. I'm inclined to think I'm doing something wrong or there's something I need to set in FCP or in a sequence preset. Can anybody shed some light on this?

In FCP 6 there are check boxes when you do the File > Export > OMF on whether to include levels or not. Been so long since I used FCP 5.1 I have no idea.

Actually, this feature was new to 6.0.

You'll need Automatic Duck to have the info carry over in 5.1.
