When importing an OMF file with embedded audio for the first time, leave the Extract option ticked to extract themedia files. Please untick the Extract any Embedded Media if present box on subsequent imports of the sameOMF file (because the media will already be present).If the same file is imported a second time, there's no need to extract the audio twice, simply mount the folderwhere it's been extracted to, prior to importing the OMF file. The OMF Media Handler generates an external Waveform(.pk) file when the file is first imported.When importing an OMF file that references (links) to external audio files, the folder(s) that contain these filesmust be Mounted in Pyramix before importing the OMF file. (This also applies to Sonic Solutions import).Ticking the Remove any Rendered Fade Clips if present box converts any rendered fades or X-fades present inthe OMF file into normal Pyramix real-time fades. These can subsequently be manipulated in the usual Pyramixmanner.OMF Mounting Rules(Media Management Tab window, Media Folder > Mounting Rules)AIFF files generated by Avid systems and BWF files generated by Protools with the option Enforce Avid Compatibilityhave a built-in OMF chunk and have always been recognized by Pyramix as an OMF Media. The MountingRules dialog has some special Mounting Rules options for folders containing Wave/BWF and AIFF files that havean OMF chunk These enable the default behaviour to be altered:• Never mount Wave/BWF files as OMF (for files coming from Avid)• Never mount AIFF files as OMF (for files coming from Avid)• Show Protools Wave/BWF files with Enforced Avid Compatibility as OMF (the new default behavior is toalways show BWF files generated by Protools as BWF even if they have the OMF/Avid compatibility chunk.This option allows forcing these files to be mounted "a la Avid" as in previous Pyramix versions)Importing Avid and AudioVision binsAvid and AudioVision bins may be imported as a library.
