The following typical workflow illustrates how OMF
files are used to move timeline metadata and audio media between
systems at various stages in the post-production process.
Create
an offline editing project using any Avid® offline editing application and export an
OMF file with included audio media.
Import
the OMF file into Smoke and recapture the media.
Finish
in Smoke and perform any sound mixing.
If
you want to use another audio tool such as Pro Tools® to complete the audio
mix, then do the following:
Export
the final timeline as an OMF file (with audio media).
Import
the new OMF file into Digidesign Pro Tools® and complete the audio mix.
From
Pro Tools, export the finished audio as WAV or AIFF.
Import
the finished audio into Smoke and recombine it in the final
timeline.
From Smoke,
output to tape or export to another format.
