OMF Export from Premiere Not Working

[LayaXIII]

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.

The OMF export is broken on Premiere Pro. The only workaround I have found is the export stem tracks. Is there anyone from Adobe working on this?

Hi @LayaXIII ,

Have you also tried to use an AAF with embedded audio? The AAF should work just as well as an OMF for the current work around.

Thank you

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.

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

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.

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

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?

@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
