[Avid-L2] Re: OMF/AAF from Premier to ProTools Issues?

 

Actually, there's nothing particularly basic about an export to Pro Tools. Part of the problem with Pro Tools is that it used to be the only game, so things like plug-ins, AAF and OMF transfers were often tweaked away from their spec to be optimized for Pro Tools. That's why RTAS-compliant plug-ins that worked in Pro Tools didn't necessarily work in Media Composer. The reason is because they didn't adhere strictly to the spec. I'm not sure whether that might be part of the issue, but it could explain why MC -> PT might be more successful than PPro -> PT.


As far as backwards compatibility, AE goes back 1 version usually, Photoshop has much better backwards compatibility and Premiere Pro has none. Sometimes updates are tied to OS updates and sometimes they aren't. Avid is usually a step or so behind and many "pro" users are light years behind in the versions they are running. But yes, no one has as good backwards compatibility as does Avid, but I suspect that's changing, merely because of feature support.

Get used to it. While it isn't a pretty vision, it is the way things are going.
