P: OMF Export from Premiere Not Working

Running on Premiere Pro Version 25.1.0 (Build 73)

 

When I import OMF file from Premiere, it's only getting one audio track and layering it to several audio tracks. I'm opening the OMF on Audition. But when my collegue exports the same OMF from Premiere, when I open it on Audition it's correct (all the tracks are there with the correct audio). I've tried making a new project, exporting separate wav files then putting them on a new sequence, nothing works.

I'm using Premiere Pro 25.2.3 and still have problems with OMF. But the audio post-production told me anyway that they prefer AAF.

You can also open your .prproj directly in Audition, without having to generate new files as with the Edit in Audition option.

i was having similary issues, my work around was to EDIT>EDIT IN ADOBE AUDITION then export OMF from there 😞  seemed to do the trick but annoying

Does anyone know if the new Premiere 25.2. has fixed the omf problem?

The OMF thing is a problem.

 

As to the UI color, the 25.x version gives you an amazing level of control over the UI colors. Although it would be nice for some if the base charcoal could be at least somewhat lighter.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Hi
I don't understand why in version 25 it is not possible to export OMF and processes have to be complicated
I personally continue to work with version 24 because of this problem and also because of the too dark appearance of version 25 which is not comfortable for the eyes

One question unanswered here is if the OP is ultimately trying to go to ProTools. If so use an AAF

Scot, let Adobe do it itself first...
Audition doesn't know how to import AAF correctly, it can only use OMF so far!

This is a good question. However, due to various projects, including television ones, a much better option would be if only the audio could be exported, not the video.

What do you think, why don't they want to solve this problem? Of course, they can. They just don't want to. Because the competition would lose business, and they might too if the competition enabled video editing in Cubase or anywhere else. Who in their right mind would include export to AAF in their program but not include import of the same format in their audio editing software (Audition)? Only AVID developed a standard for exchanging edited audio, OMF, which is not entirely reliable and hasn't been developed further for years. Deliberately.

Export project from Premiere Pro to Audition and then export the OMF or AAF
