Chapter 15: Importing and Exporting
Session Data
Pro Tools lets you import and export a variety of
data into and out of a session, including audio
and MIDI files, region groups, video files, track
playlists, I/O configurations, and signal routing
configurations.
You can import individual audio and MIDI files
into a session, or import entire audio or MIDI
tracks, along with all of their attributes, from an-
other session. Additionally, with Pro Tools HD,
you have the option of importing any combina-
tion of track attributes from another session,
such as a track’s audio or MIDI playlists, signal
routing, plug-ins, or automation (see “Import-
ing Session Data” on page 289).
