Exported Session Text
Session Information
The session text file starts with basic informa-
tion about the session. This information in-
cludes the session name, sample rate, bit depth,
time code format, and number of audio tracks,
audio regions, and audio files, as shown in the
following example.
File List and Region List
Next, if you choose to include them, are the lists
of audio files and regions.
Track EDLs
The final item, if exported, is the list of track
EDLs. A track EDL lists the track name, and all
edits, including the event number, the region
name, region start and end time, and region du-
ration. The region timestamp is also exported, if
you select this option. Subframes are shown in
each time field if you select this option.
To export a session as text:
1
Choose File > Export > Session Info as Text.
2
Select whether to include the File List, Region
List, and track EDLs.
3
If you choose to include track EDLs, select
whether to show subframes, and whether to in-
clude user timestamps. Also select an option for
crossfade handling.
4
If you choose to include track EDLs, select the
Time Format for the exported session text from
the pop-up menu.
5
Select the File Format for exported text using
the pop-up menu.
6
When you have set your options, click OK.
7
Select a location and enter a filename for the
exported text file. In Windows, Pro Tools adds
the correct 3-letter filename extension, while on
the Mac, the file extension “.txt” is added.
