Pro Tools Reference Guide 230
gions must have identical names with “.L” and
“.R” suffixes (for instance, vocals_01.L and
vocals_01.R). These regions appear as a stereo re-
gion in the Region List.
Pro Tools HD also lets you bounce multichannel
interleaved files of any supported file type.
To export regions as a stereo or multichannel
interleaved file:
1
Select the stereo or multichannel audio region
in the Region List or in the track playlist. If the
regions appear on mono tracks in the session,
select the two mono regions.
2
From the Region List pop-up menu, choose
Export Regions as Files.
3
In the Export Selected dialog, select “Stereo
Interleaved” in the Format pop-up menu. For
multichannel regions, the Stereo Interleaved op-
tion produces a multichannel interleaved file.
4
Configure any other output settings, then
click Export to export the new stereo interleaved
file.
Exporting Region Definitions
Pro Tools stores region definitions for audio files
within each session. If you want to use an audio
file’s regions in another session, or with another
application that supports them, you can export
the region information.
The Export Region Definitions command does
not export regions as audio files (unlike the Ex-
port Regions as Files command). Instead, it
stores pointers to the regions within the parent
source file.
To export region definitions for an audio file:
1
In the Region List, select any regions or region
groups for which you want to export defini-
tions. You do not have to select the parent file
audio region.
2
Choose Export Region Definitions from the
Region List pop-up menu.
3
Click Export.
Exporting Pro Tools Tracks as
AAF or OMFI Sequences
With the DigiTranslator Integrated Option (Dig-
iTranslator 2.0 or higher), Pro Tools lets you ex-
port individual tracks in AAF or OMFI format.
Use the Export Selected Tracks as AAF/OMF
command.
Exporting Sessions as Text
(Pro Tools HD Only)
You can use the Export Session Info as Text com-
mand to create a text file that contains extensive
information about your session.
This text file can contain a list of audio files, au-
dio regions, audio track EDL (Edit Decision List)
information, extended timestamp information,
and information about crossfades.
If you plan to transfer Pro Tools session
data to another session, you should export
region definitions for sessions containing
multiple takes created with Loop Record.
Pro Tools with DigiTranslator does not
support AAF files with embedded media.
For more information on installing, using,
or removing DigiTranslator with Pro Tools,
refer to the DigiTranslator Guide.
