Features supported in OMF files
On export to OMF, Premiere Pro exports files with the following attributes and metadata:
Premiere Pro applies only the effects listed, on export to OMF. Also, since OMF values are clip-based, Premiere Pro does not export most
track-based values to OMF.
Premiere Pro places all transitions and keyframe points on audio sample boundaries. Video frame boundaries do not
constrain these locations.
Premiere Pro converts sound clips to the same consistent sample rate, as required by Pro Tools. You can select the
sample rate at the time of export.
You can choose the bit-depth at the time of export.
With the Encapsulate option, you can export a single, large, OMF file containing both audio and OMF
metadata. With the Separate Audio option, you can export a smaller OMF file and a set of related, individual, external audio files. The Separate
Audio option is useful for larger projects, as an OMF file cannot exceed two gigabytes.
OMF and Pro Tools work with mono tracks only. Premiere Pro exports each channel from a stereo, 5.1-channel or 16-channel track
into its own mono track with its source track ID appended to its track name. Premiere Pro exports Left and Right stereo channels with _L and _R in
their respective track names.
After you import an OMF file into Pro Tools, the clip names from the Premiere Pro sequence appear in the Pro Tools timeline.
By default, Premiere Pro exports clip volume levels and clip keyframe volume levels to the Clip Gain
effect in the OMF file. You can set DigiTranslator to accept or ignore keyframe volume settings.
Premiere Pro exports audio transitions between two adjoining clips, both centered or not centered, as you specify.
One pan setting is exported per clip without keyframes. Premiere Pro extracts the pan setting from the track and
applies it to the clip export data.
By default, Premiere Pro hard pans the Left channel to the left and the Right channel to the right on export to OMF.
Premiere Pro applies clip balance to the Clip Gain effect for the clip. Premiere Pro does not apply Audio Mixer balance, as that is
track-based, not clip-based.
Premiere Pro applies the first channel-gain value per clip channel. Premiere Pro
does not apply clip channel-gain keyframes.
Premiere Pro applies the first value for Fill Left, Fill Right, and Swap Channel effects to each clip.
Premiere Pro does not apply Fill Left, Fill Right, or Swap Channel keyframes.
Premiere Pro exports only those audio tracks with the Toggle Track Output setting turned on. If a track is turned off it does
not appear in the exported OMF file. Premiere Pro does not apply the Audio Mixer Mute Track, or Solo Track button settings.
Premiere Pro exports audio for each nested sequence the same way it does for each simple clip.
Premiere Pro exports audio the same way it does for master clips and subclips.
