Preparing your sequence for ProTools export
When exporting for Pro Tools we need to provide the timeline and a guide video. To do this we export the audio and video with an .aaf file. The .aaf file tells Pro Tools how to rebuild the timeline.
Before you export you will need to duplicate the sequence, delete the video tracks and remove any settings you may have applied to the audio tracks.
Duplicating your sequence
Locate your locked cut and duplicate it – name it MyFilmProtools
Open your new sequence and delete the video tracks
Select all the audio, right click and select Remove Attributes…
Your sequence is now ready to be exported to protools
