I'm currently attempting Process>Audio Effects to see if it processes the automation too.  If so, that may solve the problem.

Doing the same

I'm guessing and stress this is 100% guess based on nothing but intuition that OMF is bnased on XML.  That would be one way of making it cross-platform. I have never tried to export OMF from any program that had anything beyond simple fades and split clips.  I may try to export a more advanced project out of Logic and see what happens.

Thats my hunch too, it must be XML, great minds think alike as I was just musing this over a ciggy while this render happens....

Have we checked how big this project is yet? I dont believe we have.....(I am rendering so cant do it this second) but goto Project, and Audio or something and it lists the Audio file size, if its over two Gb then we have to try and render this into an OMF into Chunks below 2Gb otherwise by the general nature of OMFS the file will break

In my haste, I never looked at file sizes.   I guess i will check that after this finishes rendering.

I guess its a competition on how fast our systems are now to finish this render 

I ran an errand real quick and came back.  The Process>audio effcects worked without a hitch but it does not fix problem because it does not take care of automation envelopes which may be behind issue. I jus tneed a way to get rid of all of these envelopes in one or two steps without having to go track by track

Did you freeze those pianos?  I did not pick this up the first go round but apparently they froze the drums but left the piano as simple instrument tracks?  Have a good night

Holy ___!  Freezing those piano parts seems to have done the trick for me.  It worked.  My drums disapeared when i opened in Audition

All hosts handle OMF differently. The OMF format only supports the exchange of audio data.  Even basic mixing data won't translate correctly. While it's called a standard, it really isn't.
 
"OMFI_ERR: Mob does not exist in this file" and "OMFI_ERR:Failed a semantic check on an input data" errors are more wide spread than SONAR. Logic and DP users get the same thing:

I'll look and see if we have any specs on this, but I haven't seen any personally, ever.

Seth, yes thank you for your vague answer, I have seen all of these.

Dub and I have painfully gone through some beta for you on this thread and pretty much come up with the same results (until he comes back online I cant confirm fully)

In my experience from last year, which was outputting 7 short films plus one feature, I never had an issue importing an OMF from FCP/Permiere or PT into Sonar yet every single time I output a timeline of audio from Sonar I get the above errors?

I seriously want to help here! Closing my case and giving me external issues with OMF on other platforms seems to me to be running away from the issue.

Please dont make me say this...BUT...I created a test project today in PT 10 and exported with fades and it worked..... Final Cut Pro can export and OMF, Premiere can....

Sigh...

Therefore...Close my case then, but you are closing the case on multi platform post production audio film work from out of Sonar, for me...thats a massive shame.

I didn't close that bug report so please don't try to direct it at me. I actually took the time to look into this for you. 
 
I've finally located a 2.1 spec document for it and it dates back to 1997. I'll take a look at it further.

I also just checked into CWBRN-23119
 
Summary:OMF export error
Description:

1. your steps below . . .

Expected Results: 
Actual Results:test
Specs:


It was closed because 'Info Not Provided'

ah, that was a test as all my attempts at reporting this issue have resulted in "The Internet is not working"

So, there was a blank test, so I am not sure what is going on there.
 
I have reported this issue on the forum, and I have PM'd yourself.

Looks like the one attempt that got through was the one you did not fill in, so try and resubmit today.

For me, the lesson learned is that other than trims and fades, it is a royal pain to export OMF.  I have also learned that Audition is extra picky about importing OMF
 

 

I posted this in another thread:

 

OK..Done.  643 MBs.   I succefully exported the OMF.  It took 3 tries.
 
I was working fast --so i did things without worring about concequences, Here is what i did.
 
1) Deleted the track "quad-capture".  That seemed to be just a mix of the song, but it probably could have stayed.
2) Deleted all soft synths--again probably uneccesary.
3) Opened up all folders, started "Bouncing To Clips" eveything.  I could not grab everything at once, so I grabbed as many tracks as I could at a time to bounce to clips.  This is proably very important.  every clip that overlaps with another generates a new track in an OMF.  Having so many clips and tracks becomes overwhelming to organize, and probably too much for the system to handle.
4) After all tracks had all the clips "bounced" so no clips where overlapping any more. I went to "Process Audio>Remove Silence".  This removes all automation, so I suggest experimenting with this.  You might want to "Freeze" all your audio tracks 1st.  That will print any fades or effects.
 
Anyway if you'd like the OMF..PM me and I will DropBox it to you.
 
I'm guessing the issue people are having with OMFs are too many clips that overlap on a track. Also track automation might be getting in the way.
