AAF/OMF import to DP6

Post by lumpo »

I have a reliable crash when trying to import any digidesign(PTHD 7.4.2) exported AAF files. Same for OMF. I have the latest Digitranslator. HAs anyone met this problem?

Frustrating as I have just returned to DP and want to use it as a front end to PT hardware.
TIA

Hey Lumpo I have also PT 7.4 LE and Digitranslator. I tried saving an OMF and AAF from DP6 and then opening it back up in DP 6 and it crashed. I also tried from PT and it did the same thing

Ah. Glad to see it's not just me.

How do we notify MOTU of this? It's a real show stopper if files can't be easily exchanged.

I did crash when Importing BUT, when i opened a standard DP template and then opened the OMF, it worked.
Why..I have no idea.
I proceeded to repeat the process on three different OMF files.

Hey Lumpo I opened an OMF in my wifes computer which has DP5 no problem. I asked a friend with DP5 and he had no problem. Only on my computer it did not work. Just a shot in the dark, I have ProTools, you also have ProTools installed. My wife and friend do not. I wonder if there is something there? I may be way off but I am trying to trouble shoot this. If any one else out there has the same problem and has those 2 programs installed.

It has been my experience as well. Sometimes it works, sometimes DP just crashes. Going the other way (exporting out of DP into PT) always works, 100%.

Is this with version 6.01 as well? Just a suggestion, but it may help all of us on this board troubleshoot if we can be specific about DP version numbers when posting about issues. Thanks! :D

I have the same problem, crashing while trying to open an OMF on DP6.0

I also have PT 7 installed, is this a pattern here???

jeez

and yup, no problems what so ever the other way around

what I've been doing is, consolidate all tracks from "0" and throw them one by one to a DP template, is working though, I just hope this bug is sorted on DP6.01

I don't have PT and it doesn't work for me either… bummer! I love the program, but i need omf/aaf compatibility, which obviously isn't there - no matter what motu does say.
