It created a directory "MixScenes", but it's empty. Is that a PT special thing?

Thanks for checking into this. BTW MixScenes is a SONAR thing, it's where the Mix Recall files are stored.

Thanks so much everyone ... glad to know it works OK .. too bad about the track names.
 
Did the markers come across?
 
thanks

Ah. no. There are no markers.
I am trying to find out what OMF actually supports. It seems to be quite a difficult question to answer.
 
The best I have found so far is this:
http://www.mixonline.com/news/profiles/workstation-file-format-interchange-part-1/364921
Doesn't cover much practical stuff. Markers are not mentioned.

Ok .. I believe if I make a MIDI track in PT and export it, it should have the markers .. so that
should work .. at least I think it will.
 

Let me know if you want to try.
I just noticed the first track (Dialog Verb) is also missing.

OK.
I think I'll put comprehensive ProTools import in the feature request forum.
(and export? But that's more difficult)

if a dev were to code a "comprehensive" OMF interface, it would enable/facilitate both import and export; export's no more difficult than import - at the interface level - but it depends what sonar needs to do to prep the data before export is possible (tl/dr: it's just a fancy mapping step)

That's OK .. the (dialog verb) first track is an Aux track in Protools .. so no worries there.

I seem to recall that Sonar did both import and export of OMF? I'm sure Sonar users would
appreciate a full import/export capability to/from Protools PTX format. PT used to only support
split-mono audio and the interleaved stereo tracks didn't come across cleanly. But, now they do.
 
Thanks very much for the testing .. much appreciated.

So far I have found out OMF is from Avid.That's a good start.
But it's old and in its official form only supports 16 bits, probably why I got that "converting sample rate" message.
Many implemetations bend the rules apparently, which leads to incompatibilities.
 
There is also an OMF2, but I am struggling to find solid information about what is supported by either 1 or 2.
i also read OMF is an API, not a format as such.
