OMF Output: FCP

Exporting your Sequence as an OMFI from Final Cut Pro:


Highlight your sequence in the Browser and click File > Export > Audio to OMF


  • Set the Sample Rate to 48k and 16-bit (which is the default)
  • Set Handle Length to 00:00:05.00 Be sure to turn OFF "Include Crossfade Transitions" 
  • Click OK.


Save the file using a short descriptive filename (keeping the ".omf" extension) to your removable firewire drive. Then upload to your FTP server (or deliver to me on the removable firewire drive or a USB flash drive).


The .omf file which is created contains all of your project audio and sequence timecode information. None of your audio mixing from Final Cut will transfer (volume changes, EQs, effects, etc) unless you select them.


OMF has an internal limit of 2 GB. This translates into ROUGHLY 6 tracks of mono, 16-bit audio, each one-hour long. (A 16-bit mono audio clip is roughly 5 MB per minute.)

If you try to export only part of a sequence to an OMF file, setting In's and Out's won't work. Using OMF always exports the entire sequence, regardless of how In's and Out's are set.


Consequently, if your OMF file threatens to be larger than 2 GB, turn off some of the Track Visibility lights on the far left of your Timeline. Only tracks who's visibility lights are lit (glowing green) will be exported. Then, export in sections, where each OMF file is, say, tracks 1 thru 6 and the second section is tracks 7 thru 12.

What's New?

New Gear!

 

Izotope RX7 Advanced

The works! Just in time to make use of Ambience Match & Match EQ on some new shows. This is the defacto standard for audio restoration and it just got a whole lot better!

Audio Ease Altiverb 7

The premiere convolution reverb now in up to 7.1 channels. This thing is sick! Just amazing on dialogue localization anywhere from a closet to a concert hall. Indespensable!

ProTools 12.6

Loving the new features in this latest version! Clip effects especially is a welcomed addition and enhances workflow no end when working on clip based audio post projects.

SSD All The Way!

Updated all drives to super fast SSD. These new Oyen Digital drives are blazingly fast and quite sexy (for a drive) I might add!!

Little Alter Boy

New pitch change plug-in from SoundToys. Sounds amazing and I've put it to good use on 8 Minutes, a new A&E series I'm mixing. I tried out everything available and this one sounded the best by far.

Unveil from Zynaptiq allows attenuating or boosting reverb components within a mixed signal. An almost magical plug-in that helps clean up dialog recorded in reverberant rooms such as hallways and bathrooms. Now thanks to Zynaptic you really can un-bake the cake!

Izotope RX5 is finaly here and it's an amazingly powerfull tool for all your noise reduction needs. I've been using it a lot in my work lately and loving the new GUI, it's faster and easier to use than ever! As they say; "The repair tool of choice for industry professionals, who save time every day transforming flawed audio into mesmerizing media".
