original NewsEdit sequence:

2. Select the OMF file that you exported from Pro Tools, Nuendo, or

AVTransfer and click

The OMF file imports into the NewsEdit Bin as a sub-bin with the name of
the NewsEdit sequence; within that bin are a sequence and its audio files.

3. Open the sequence in the imported Bin folder.

b. In the enhanced audio sequence, select all tracks to copy, right-click and

select

Copy Selected

.

NOTE: Press

Shift + S

to select all tracks at once.

c. Open the original NewsEdit sequence, place the cursor where you want to

audio files to go, right-click and select

Paste

.

Bin into the original NewsEdit sequence.

tracks are now unlinked.

5. If you want to re-link clips, select all tracks for each clip then select
