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.

Hello,
OMF export from Adobe Première 25.1.0.73 and 25.2 “Beta” is not correct...

If you need to use OMF exclusively, then you need to stay in 25.0.0.61 (which can open your Projects / Production in a “higher” version 2025).
Otherwise, your exports won't conform to your layout!

I hope Adobe will pay close attention to this bug, which appeared after version 25.0.0.61.

Hi there!

I'm currently working on a short as a re-recording mixer. The editor is using premiere pro and has exported an OMF but when I import it on pro tools, every single track is a constant repeat of the first scene that lasts the entirety of the film. At first I thought it was something on my end, but I have tried everything on pro tools that potentially could be an issue. But no matter what I change, the issue still persists. I even went back to an old project on premiere and exported its audio with the exact same OMF settings I told the editor to put. The tracks were fine when I imported it. I figured it must be an issue on how it's being exported. Would anyone know what the editor could be doing wrong? At first I thought he possibly was selecting a specific track but he says he hasn't.

@pauld5937403 Thank you for that. We have this logged as a bug. A current work around would be to use an AAF instead of an OMF.

Thank you

Hi everyone! So I tried opening my project file using another laptop (Windows this time) and same problem. So finally, I downloaded Premiere ver 24.6.4, downgraded my project file (using Premiere ver 25.1), opened the same project and exported OMF and it works. So maybe it's a Premiere 25.1 problem?

Here's a link to the OMF in question. It just repeats one of the audio files and is missing five of the files.

I tried that but Audition did not recognize the file on import. I did export with omf and selected separate files instead of embed and it sort of worked. Two of my files were placed on the timeline as edited but the third did not keep the edit points. I was able to slide the audio down to the correct edit point. Not ideal but workable for small projects.

Hi @Morten Corfit22608037wubj ,

Would you be able to share the OMF that is not working for you in 25.1? Depeding on your system and software another great workaround for now should be the use of an AAF. AAF's should still be functional. In the meantime could you send me the OMF and we can help investigate further?

Thanks

Ian

Same here! OMF is totally messed up when I import an OMF from PR in Pro Tools - My workaround is to downgrade a copy of the project and open it i Premiere 24 -and export the OMF from there. That works fine in Pro Tools.
