Just in from a gig

This means that you have 'stretched' some clips - if you can't find them email me the sesx and I will tell you which clip or clips it is

I've been getting the same message on every OMF i try to export for the past two months. I've spent hours on the phone with Adobe tech support and each thing they tell me does not fix the problem. The latest suggest was reinstall OS. Well I did that and I still am unable to export an OMF in audtion. Any suggestions? This has happened on projects I have not stretched or manipulated the files in any way beyond a basic cut.

The message I get btw is "Warning: Clip duration is longer than source"

Like the Phantom Agents reinstalling your OS should always be the last resort.
look for any looped clips or clips where the source is an mp3

send me the session (info at aatranslator dot com dot au) and I will check it out when I return to the studio later today

Hi there,

i'm having the same warning message when trying to export an OMF with encapsulated audio, for an engineer to mix in ProTools. I've tried Clip > Stretch > Enable Gobal Stretching (which was not originally on, I've turned it on and off again to see if this would revert any accidnetally stretched clips) - no luck. I've also tried manually searching each clip to see if there are stretch markers, nope - and also trying to check sample rates of each clip but they're all at 44100. Totally stumped.

Would love to hear how this issue was resolved, or how to search for stretched (or otherwise?) clips - thank you!
