USING ADOBE AUDITION
Saving and exporting
Last updated 2/16/2012
Audition automatically opens each extracted file in the Editor panel.
Save multitrack sessions
A multitrack session file is a small, non-audio file. It merely stores information about locations of related audio files
on your hard drive, the duration of each audio file within the session, the envelopes and effects applied to various
tracks, and so forth. You can reopen a saved session file later to make further changes to the mix.
If you create multitrack mixes entirely in Adobe Audition, save session files in the native SESX format. If you plan to
share multitrack compositions with other applications, however, see
“Export sessions to OMF or Final Cut Pro
Interchange format” on page 135.
1 In the Multitrack Editor, do one of the following:
• To save changes to the current session file, choose File > Save
• To save changes under a different filename, choose File > Save As. Or choose File > Export > Session to keep the
current session open.
• To save the session file and all the audio files it contains, choose File > Save All .
2 Specify a filename and location.
3 To include audio markers and information from the Metadata panel, select Include Markers And Other Metadata.
Export sessions to OMF or Final Cut Pro Interchange format
To transfer complete mixes to other applications in your workflow, export to OMF or Final Cut Pro Interchange
format. OMF was originally created for Avid Pro Tools, but now is a common multitrack exchange format for many
audio mixing applications. Final Cut Pro Interchange format is based on human-readable XML files, which you can
edit offline to revise text references, effect settings, and so on.
Export to OMF
1 In the Multitrack Editor, choose File > Export > OMF.
2 Specify a filename and location.
3 Set the following options:
Sample Type Click Change to access the Convert Sample Type dialog box. (See “Converting sample types” on
page 53.)
OMF Settings Click Change to access the following:
• Media Encapsulated stores audio clips in the OMF file itself for easier organization. Referenced stores audio
clips in the same folder as the OMF file, letting you edit them offline if necessary.
Note: Encapsulated OMF files are limited to 2 GB in size.
• Media Options Determines whether clip source files are trimmed to clip length in the Editor panel or reflect the
entire original file.
• Handle Duration For trimmed clips, specifies the time duration to include beyond clip edges. Including
additional audio provides more flexibility for fades and editing.
The Warnings section indicates elements of the session that will be excluded or changed. To copy this information to
clipboard, click the Copy Warnings button
