DP 8.01 OMFs and bwav file errors in PT

Post by MIDI Life Crisis »

I am working on a film project in one of the better post facilities in LA and last week brought in some bwav files that would not locate on the master timeline in Pro Tools. We had to manually place the files, which was a major PITA, to say the least. Due to production considerations I didn't have tome to output an OMF. A few files did locate correctly after a bit of massaging, but about 2 or 3 dozen didn't.

The producer requested revisions and I did have time to make OMFs and they did locate correctly, but they were being read from the OMF as mon files instend of the bwav interleaved stereo that they actually were.

When we imported the files manually to PT, they imported the correct format and to the correct time. Apparently, DP8 has resurrected the OMF problems of the past. Next time I'll try AAF exports, but I am having serious... I mean
