Hello,

How do I import OMF file into Premiere? Has Exported out OMF file from Premiere earlier and made finishing in ProTools, and will now import the OMF file back into Premiere. Is this possible? If not what is the easiest solution? We will do some cutting changes, it would have been fine with sound in sync.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your post. As per the workflow Premiere pro can export the OMF files but It is unable to import the OMF files. The OMF's are not in the supported list of audio formats that Premiere Pro imports. The format supported for importing in Premiere pro are listed below. You can import the file if you change the format of the audio using any third party converter and then export it again in OMF.

    Regards,

    Vinay

    Clearing the cache did the trick for me.

    I had this same issue on cc 2020. My files were fine with no special characters. I cleared the cache and it worked.

    The thing that worked for me was to export a FCP XML out of Audition and then import that into Premiere. Bit wonky and I agree PPro would do well to allow OMF import, seems like it wouldn't be that hard.

      OK... so you're telling us that you can shoot over audio to audition, edit it, but can only bring back a fully bounced session?  That... kinda sucks.

        There is a lot more functionality in this round trip with latest versions.

        eg export back with stems., xml etc...

        Sometimes you have to try stuff for your self.
