God this is so frustrating.

I make music and need to export a file as an OMF for it to be mastered, i've done this before and had no problem, in fact i LITERALLY DID THIS 5 MINUTES PRIOR to trying to export this current file as an OMF.

Now the only error message I get is "unable to open a file" right after I click export as OMF. Thinking this is strange, but whatever. So I go to open the OMF file to make sure everything is all good and its not there.In all of the bagillion of individual audio files exported and its not there! The omf session is not there in the export. I have had so many dumb little problems with adobe audition im surprised I haven't died of a stroke by now (i'm 26). anyways, any help is greatly appreciated!

Make sure that you have selected File > Close Unused Media and then try exporting an OMF

Hello, I'm having the exact same issue and "close unused media" didn't help. It exports all the clips but when it's time to make the OMF the "unable to open a file" error pops up. Since I have 3 episodes on the same timeline, I only exported episodes 2 and 3 (which have no music or sound effects) for reference and it did make the OMF file, but when I try it with episode 1, the error pops up.

I followed a couple of other threads that address this but with no luck. I looked at the AATranslator option but I'm not keen on spending $250 USD plus for a one-off as this is not my full time job.

Any other ideas?

Thank you!
