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 Flame and recapture the media.
- Finish in Flame 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 Flame and recombine it in the final timeline.
- From Flame, output to tape or export to another format.
